Excellent....I forgot about some of those guys

ADD Carlatello (sp) from Ryan - he was a blue collar junk yard dog with super eyes

[Ti-Ta]

Ralph King Riverdale has to be the most overrated player to have come out of football ( In 2000 state championship football game he couldn't hold Gerald Riggs

jock strap )

[cbg]

Which Carletello from Father Ryan are you talking about, Tony or Michael?

[Ti-Ta]

Patrick Flannagan give me a break he wouldn't be in the top 100 much less top

10, he couldn't even cut it as a Moc!!!! ( Way over rated!!!!! )

I see somebody mentioned Gary Meadows from Meigs County who holds the state record for all purpose yardage in a season. (I think its for a season)

Here are a few blasts from the past:

 

Tom Moore - Goodlettsville

Wayne Bush - Glencliff

Keith Davis - Overton

Adolph Groves - Maplewood

Preston Brown - Maplewood

Al Young - Maplewood

Thomas Goodloe - Maplewood

Frog Campbell - Startford

Mike Coleman - Startford

Erik Gardner - Stratford

Jeff Womack - Warren Co.

Randy Payne - Hunters Lane

Fred Payne - Franklin

Goo-Baby (name?) - Gallatin

Oakland Back that went to Texas A&M

You would have to add Arcentae Broome to that list. Stratford had a stable of backs during those years. Does anyone remember a back that was better than all of the backs at Stratford during those years, nicknamed "Toe Frog." Unfortunately, he was killed before ever reaching his potential

Which Carletello from Father Ryan are you talking about, Tony or Michael?

1st one

[nununu]

1st one

I think Michael was a better back than his brother. Hard-nosed.

[wms-cats]

How about Orlando Wade Spring Hill. State Champs, Mr. Football and signed with Miss. State. Anybody remember watching this guy go.

Eric Westmoreland Marion County 92-95, led the Warriors to 3 state titles.

[ShaneC]

I played against Eric Westmoreland in a playoff game my sophmore year... He was a good back but as a linebacker he brought the pain on every hit...
