Wow! That is impressive. And you should be proud my friend. This kid seems to be a solid, all around fine young man.

Fun fact for you 55. His first varsity snap was against Belfry in the Pike County bowl when he was a 145 pound freshman. Belfry jumped on Tates Creek early so they pulled the starter in the 2nd quarter and put him in. His mother and I didn’t even notice until he was in his cadence. I have to admit we were more than a little afraid of what might happen if those big Belfry boys got to him. I thought they’d have him hand the ball of a time or two to send a message to the starter and that would be it. I was wrong. He dropped back and threw an 80 yard TD (actually a 15 yard pass and the receiver did the rest). Although that was the high point of the game for TC and for him he did go on and finish the game and got the MVP for the losing team. It is a memory I hope I never forget.
