Moe Wrote:What about Micah Oden at Jenkins?
Micah is tough, but Johnny Ray played professional ball overseas and had a nice college career. Micah didn't really make his mark at the college level...
Even Bryan Howard had a nice career at Transy. He started 3 of his 4 years on pretty successful teams... :thumpsup:

I belive the one he's refering to would be Seth and Kelsey. Which is what 2 players outta how many to play at shelby valley.
As for my list it'd look like this-
Im not real sure but it says athlete. That dosen't mean best skill or what kinda careers they had but a couple of names I'd like to throw in would be-
Terry Wright-Shelby Valley
Jermey Akers-Shelby Valley
Mitchell Riddle-Shelby Valley
I got to Valley in 99 so I really can't remember anythign before that but three names really stick out to me.
Rodney Rowe and Todd May-Virgie(And I can use them lol I did graduate from Virgie Middle school)
and Jeremy Johnson-Shelby Valley.

You didn't get to Shelby Valley until 2000 bub :dontthink
As for your list. Terry Wright is the only true athlete you named. Maybe, and I mean maybe Akers was decent. Riddle, no. Rodney Rowe, how would you know? He was a decent ball player but not a great athlete. Johnson was pretty good overall though. I can give you a thumbs up for that one. And May was a beast, he was unreal to watch and impossible to guard.

I played with Micah, yes he was a good, and could have been great, but he was wild on the court he really didnt know the plays and you always had to get him back on defence. The best player that ever came out of jenkins IS Jhonny Ray Willams nobody has come close sence.
