Attend Central High?
Social Circle here as well
Appling Ga my dad played in 1943
Chesapeake, Va here.
Mom and dad graduated in 61.
Go Dawgs!!
Charleston, SC by way of McDonough, GA.
That makes 2 of us
Thomasville, Ga....Born and raised. Home of two storied high school programs that have 10 state championships and a national championship between them. Thomas County Central and Thomasville High.
Also home of Guy McIntyre, William Andrews, Sean Jones, Mike Jones, Charlie Ward, Eric Curry, Joe Burns, Adam Choice, Austin Bryant, and Ray Drew.....Some Dawgs, some not....but all loved in Thomasville High and Thomas Co. Central football lore.
My dad went to the same high school as Charlie Ward. I think they were in the same grade but not sure. Was that Central or plain ole Thomasville?
It was called Thomasville-Central until 1990, and then a new school was completed and the name was changed to Thomas Co. Central. The Yellow Jackets. The city school is the Bulldogs.
I graduated in 1986; my last year of football was the 1985 season. I blocked a little for Charlie. He was a sophomore when I was a senior. I was a 210-pound offensive guard.
Wouldn't really be on Pittman's radar huh? LOL Wish i could've seen Charlie play though.
The year after I was gone, a whole bunch of new offensive linemen took over and they were larger that UGA's offensive line was in 1986-87. The lightest guy we had was a 220-pound center. everyone else was 270-plus. The biggest of them all was a 6-7 tackle named Scott Cooley, who also weighed in at 320 pounds. That was the biggest high school lineman I had ever seen at the time.
Chattanooga, TN
McDonough GA. I was a baseball guy and remember watching Jason Heyward his senior year when I was a freshman. Talk about hitting a baseball a very long ways... especially before they went to the bbcore bats. Brenton Cox is from Stockbridge, about 20 mins up the rd. I played center my freshman year in highschool and had to block Dalvin Tomlinson (Giants 3rd round D-lineman out of Bama), that's when I realized I would just stick to baseball lmao.
Live on North Shore, but work in Ooltewah
He was a man among boys, even as a 10th-grader. A generational talent. Fields reminds me a lot of him.
We were running the spread formation back then waaaay before it became a household name. No zone-read. Just Charlie in the shotgun with 2 backs for blocking or hand-offs....one would go out for a pass and there were 4 other receivers. Sometimes he would pass....sometimes he would take off. He was about 6-2 and 215, so he was no slouch running the ball and was a load to tackle. He would lower his shoulder and run over you, too.
Destin, FL
Roswell Ga
2 1/2 since I spent 25 years there.
Tucson Arizona
My roots are deeper in Tuscaloosa than 99% of Tide fans.
They go back at least to the 1830s when a great, great grandfather on Dad's side resettled there from The Nashville area.There was only 3 to 4 thousnd white people in the whole area then, so very few go back that far.
Both parents, all 4 grandparents and 5 siblings, as well as myself were born there.
Thankfully Dad moved us first to Orlando, then NW Georgia when I was still too young to be infected with Tide syndrome.
