I lived in Marietta, GA when Eric Zeier was their QB. I know he went on to become a Dawg and we all hate him for that but, man, was he a great high school QB.

I remember watching the Logan kid in ‘88. That Wing T was incredible.

I also saw the Wade kid from Spring Hill a couple of years earlier.

My best friend back in the day and I used to go to the TN State football championship games every year held at Vandy back then. Brentwood Academy had so many great players and were in the games so many years. Several UT greats came up from there, had to be one of those guys when Carlton Flat was still coaching.

My first season as a head coach Coach Flat was one of my assistant coaches. We had some very interesting coaches meetings.

"Little Man" Stewart destroyed my alma mater in the playoffs. He started on offense and defense, was the kicker and punter, the punt returner and kick returner. He never left the field. I had never seen that before or since. It is the most dominate performance by a single player I've ever seen at any level.

Also got to see Whiten play.

Curt Watson. Crossville came to McMinn and played to a packed house. McMinn had QB Phil Pearce. Can't remember the score. Great running back.

I am pretty sure Phil Pearce worked for Averitt Express in Cookeville back in the 80s. They opened an office in my home town (Fayetteville) and I was one of their opening employees. I really liked him and of course being a huge Tennessee fan I was in awe of him.

Who are the best High Football players you have watched play in person:

Al Wilson he was playing Safety and was just killing ball carriers. You could just see he was going to be special, speed and furious hits.

Dante Hicky (Spelling?) from Cleveland: saw him play several times and in the KY/TN all-star game. He was electric, played WR and returner but never made it to college because of ???. Best player I've seen in person.

Kelly Holcomb, Chad Henderson and a WR named Grogan on the Lincoln County team in the early 90's-time frame. Kelly would throw a 30-yard dart and you could hear hit the guys in the pads up in the stands. I was surprised Kelly didn't go to a bigger school than MTSU but he had an incredible career. I thought Grogan was the best player on the field, he was a big WR who would catch anything near him and I'm sorry I can't remember his first name, no disrespect intended. I don't think he played college ball anywhere and that was a shame because he was very talented.

Kenny Witherspoon (Spelling) RB I think Stradford High and went to Vandy. He was just smooth and had a Walter Payton type running style, not that he was Walter but just he made moves with no effort, just fun to watch.

I hope I got the names and schools correct. Just my opinion so who is yours?

Didn't get to see him play in HS but a good friend of mine grew up in Huntsville and played against Condredge Holloway and said he was great at FB, BB and baseball. Could have gone pro out of HS in baseball if he had wanted to but fortunately for the TN he wanted to be an SEC QB and Bill Battle was the only coach who promised him the opportunity. Other coaches wanted to sign him as a RB or receiver.
