BEST RUNNING BACKS IN TSSAA HISTORY

Taylor and Harris at White House were studs, as was Turner at Portland and Brown at Westmoreland. Taylor and Harris had to take punishment, getting more than 20 carries a game. Turner and Brown would top the century mark in four or five carries. Turner was just a burner, and Brown just had great vision and lateral quickness. Those two were smaller backs in offenses designed to spread the wealth. I'm not sure if they could have taken the punishment of getting 20-plus carries every week. Brown was a two-time Mr. Football winner, and I believe Turner won it once as well.

there was a rb from greenbrier, derrick lucas, that was a mr football as a junior and ran for around 2,500-2,700 yards that same year. what makes it more remarkable is that he was deaf and could not communicate with his line and teammates. i dont know if you want to call him one of the best but he was one of the best to come from greenbrier

1. Kevin/Keith Cobb -Cleveland

2. Dante Hicky-Cleveland

3. Riggs- Red Bank

4. Lavonte Barber- Cleveland

5. Troy Fleming

6. Dameatrius Fields-Cleveland

7. Brandon Fields-Cleveland

 

chs that list has several cleveland backs on it but you seem to have left out the best one of all, stefon woods, that cat was awsome, i played against the field brothers and they werent near as good as woods, i saw woods play smyrna in the final game before the title game and it was at smyrna. woods was the best back i ever saw play in this state hands down. now thats just out of all i seen play live or played against.

 

LA wildcat i played for white county and 98 was my last year when we came to livingston and beat yall up. our tailback ran for 190 yards on your defence.

 

as for the best back i played against it has to be rashad howse from lavergne.

I distinctively remember him running for the sideline in the second half of '86 state championship game. How much did the City of Springhill pay the refs for that game in order to entice Saturn to move there?

 

In overtime, there was no official on the goal line when Carl Lehr ran for 2 pts. He was called a .25" short based on the spot regardless of the surge. We won't mention the 1st half play. Lehr probably set the state record on 2 pt conversions that season.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • 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.
