Shelton Quarles played at the creek several years ago.

I'm disappointed in the the Science Hill folks for not mentioning Spurrier. He played and coached in the NFL, although both were brief stints. Your friggin' field is named after him. Sad sad sad.

 

And Gerard Arnold from Lexington spent a brief time on the Redskins practice squad/injurded reserve list in early 2000s. Not fancy, but all we got.

I may need someone to straighten me out but did Albert Davis from Alcoa get drafted in the NFL? I can't remember. His son did get selected by the Pirates in about the 39th round back in '94. How 'bout Leroy Thompson from Austin East - Steelers.

From Alcoa Class of 67 Albert Davis - Eagles, and David Davis - Packers. From the class of 69' Tim George- Bengals. From the class of 89' Shannon Mitchell-Chargers, and Billy Williams-Cardinals

What do you consider a brief stint! Granted he only lasted 2 years as a head coach but Steve Spurrier played 10 seasons in the NFL, 1967-75 with 49ers and 1976 with Tampa Bay
