BEST RUNNING BACKS IN TSSAA HISTORY

[Golden Eagle]

Triy Fleming was the best...

Before he graduates I believe his name is spencer Gulmire from Oak Ridge will be one of those best in TSSAA history...I am not an Oak Ridge fan but I did see him play my Soddy-Daisy Trojans an I have to say kudos to him and hats of to everyone that has inspired that kid to play ball...he is awesome

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. 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?

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!

James "choo choo" Parker South Doyle from about 89-92

Very tuff and would have been much better but had no supporting cast around him or any blockers for that much. Signed at MTSU

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.

All I will say is Troy Fleming and Ralph King.

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
