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

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
