I played in that stadium in high school because the team we were playing in the playoffs’ field was flooded and they were in the Chattanooga area.

Cool place and I know some dudes that played there. McConkey’s from that neck of the woods as well.

Let's talk about the most impressive part of the article:

quote:

As a senior, he racked up 3,051 all-purpose yards while playing quarterback, running back, receiver and return specialist...he completed 124 passes for 1,771 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air, and added 924 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground...As a kick/punt returner, he amassed 356 return yards on seven returns (50.9 yards per return) for three touchdowns...As a defensive back, he made four interceptions and returned three for touchdowns...even punted for North Murray, earned All-Region honorable mention as a specialist...Honored as Region 6-AAA Offensive Player of the Year by region coaches as well as First Team defense.


I'm sorry, what?

Person: Ladd, what position do you play on the team?
Ladd: Yes.

I have been watching college football a long long time, Ladd McConky is becoming one of the best stories in Georgia lore. Each one of these players have a story to tell, and that is why I enjoy UGA football so much. Just keep winning and they all will be a great story.

"When Georgia offered, he did take an unofficial visit up to Knoxville. The thinking was the UGA offer provided leverage."

He was playing with fire. Let's just say glad things worked out for both parties

Friend of mine's girlfriend cuts UTC coach's hair. He told her awhile back that Ladd was coming to UTC before he got the Georgia offer. Also people i talked to around here think "White Lightning" is better than "Moonshine" for a nickname fwiw.
