Going back 30 some odd years ago, no one has mentioned David C. Fritts from Clinton. He's probably the best running back I've seen in high school. UT and several other colleges wanted him, but his knees had been shot since Little League. He did have a successful career at MTSU, and I see his name in the newspapers quite a bit lately. :lol: Fritts' teammate, Terry Moore, did get a scholarship to UT and started at fullback. What a 1-2 punch back in those days. Terry's dad, Allen, was a standout at Coalfield High School in the late 1940's. Dang, are we allowed to mention these ancient people? :D

So...'Ol Fritts DID exist!

 

My old coach Ken Honea used to talk about him quite often. We weren't sure if he really existed or not! :)

Heck he even used to wear an old orange Clinton jacket to our practices nearly every day.

 

Heard several stories about 'ol Fritts as he used to call him,knew he must have been something!

Two great ones from Meigs County......Gary Moore, in 1975 gained 2100 plus yards and scored 33 TD's during undefeated regualr season. Probably just played in 25 of the 40 quarters because games were out of hand. Also, Gary Meadows still second in single season all purpose yards. In 1993 had 1500 rushing 600 receiving, about 500 in kickoff and punt returns....and throw in 2 Int. returns for TD......Best I saw play against Meigs Co. was Jermaine Copeland from Harriman. Played QB but was a great high school runner. Scored 42 pts. in a 42-28 victory over undefeated Meigs team in state quarterfinals.

I think Tito Lee has to be at the top of this list.  He was the most dominating player I ever saw, and I played against or saw several others on this list.  Here's my others in no order:

 

Al Wilson

Travis Stephens

Will Bartholomew

Santonio Beard

i still say anyone who ever played against Chris Elam would agree he should be on the list

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
