mustang69,

 

That was Randy Franks from McKenzie you were thinking about and he was a good athlete along with the Chism's. Franks was a good football player as well. Also, Teresa (Hale) Donald was certainly a great basketball player at Atwood.

 

Sauce,

 

Thanks for remembering Les Bingham who played in the NFL and was from Trezevant. Don't know how I forgot about him, he was a friend of my Dad's. There were a couple of brothers from Trezevant by the name of Willie and Gene Hickerson who played college football at Ole Miss if I'm not mistaken and I believe it was Gene that went on from there to play in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns I think it was (it could have been another NFL team--it was a long time ago!!!)

 

Man, this thread is bringin' back some OLD memories!!!!!!!! thumb thumb

True, Joe Williams was a good one too and, well, us old timers ALL remember George Blanda!!!! Blanda played QB for Oakland untill he could only trot, running was out of the question. Then he went on to kick for them 'till he was about 65. :lol: He was a PLAYER!!!!!!!! (FOOTBALL THAT IS!)

 

hbc21, you're holding up Bruceton in this thread, you remember a guy by the name of Ben Hartsfield?????? He coached over here at McKenzie for a while when my son was playing and I really liked him. I always thought he had head coach material. Don't know what happened to him after he left McKenzie. But, I hear he was a pretty decent player.

Gene did play for the Browns - He played HS at Trezevant in the early 50's when they had a team.

The Pro Football Enclyclopedia lists Les Bingaman as being born in McKenzie but shows he attended Lew Wallace HS in Gary, IN and then the University of Illinois. He played for the Detroit Lions from 1948 to 1954. Gene Hickerson from Trezevant played for the Cleveland Browns from 1958 thru 1973.

    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
