Good call on Gerhart, I went 80s when we chose Darrin Nelson over Marcus Allen.

I've got Frank Gore from Miami and Lawrence Phillips from Nebraska. (Although that's probably someone else since Phillips is mostly known as a 9er for missing the block that ended Steve Young's career).

Lawrence Philips was totally wacked, once in a flag game in a park he got pissed and took after some kids in his truck, whoa! Was in prison not sure what for.

But.....Roger Craig was the best Nebraska Niner RB.

Nailed Gore.

 

[RaZon]

Getting back to the Chiefs Wondorus Warren McVea....



Then there was....

 

[RaZon]

Has to be seen to be believed....

 

[RaZon]

Bedford County Training School, an all black Tennessee high school in the 40;s.

National Record
The 52 straight shutout wins is a national record which dwarfs the second most consecutive wins by shutout at 19 by Arcadia High School (Neb.) 1955-56.

Alcoa football coach Gary Rankin said, “It’s difficult to compare eras, but what Bedford County did with that long scoreless streak is quite impressive. I can’t imagine anyone ever coming close to that record.”

“For two or three years no one crossed midfield on us,” said 1948 team captain Sam Abernathy, 82, with a smile.

Found out about that in a book about rare football stuff.
