Best athlete you competed against!!!
Not one that you watched, but ones that you were actually on the field or court against. Mine would with out saying be the Jones brothers, but another I remember was a running back from Richlands Jeremy McCommons. He was a horse. Doesn't matter what sport list them.
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
mine would probably have been either charlie rogers or eric mccoo who both played in the nfl for a time
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
Calvin Talford, Rodney English, Marty Story- all played basketball at ETSU when they were making the NCAA tourney in the late 80's and early 90's.
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
mine would probably be charlie garner who played in the nfl for maybe 5/6 years

Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
I have had a chance to play against some good athletes while I was in school(96-99). I can't remember alot of them but here goes.
Thomas Jones
Julius Jones
Travis Clark
Travis Turner
The qb from Haysi. I think his lastname was Colley.
The TE from Covington.
The WRs from Surry County lol.
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
Outside of Julius, Jake Housewright, Josh Warren, PJ Bailey, and a few others
Id have to say Jorge Ascencio from Celeya,Mexico in tennis. He was the 2002 NAIA national champion and former D1 standout with wins against teams like FSU and Miami. Tennis is alot more competitive than a sport like football since its a worldwide sport and you really cant change anything to be different. In football, if you suck at QB, you can move to wide receiver or tight end. In golf or tennis, you pretty much are what you are so I would have to say he was the most athletic.

Davon Jefferson, Jeff Allen, Tywon Lawson, Bobby Maze, Tony Crocker, JamesOn Curry, Deron Washington, Justin Harper, Carlos Dixon, Eric Wallace
out of those, Deron was the best athlete, but Tywon Lawson was easily the quickest

Thanks man!
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
I don't know if he was truly the best athlete, but the best player for the sport I competed against would have been a guy from Science Hill. His name escapes me, but he pitched at UT and his little brother did to. His first name is Brandon, and his brother was Luke I believe. Can't remember the last name. Led the Hill to the state title in baseball in 99.
Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
Calvin Talford, Jeff Williams and Bennie Burrell (never can spell his name, one hoss of a running back for St. Paul though)

Re: Best athlete you competed against!!!
Finally dawned on me, Brandon and Nick Crowe. Both were top notch, but Brandon graduated the same year I did and we competed against each other in some summer camps more so than I did with Nick.
