GLENN WILLIAMS—1954. He was a 3 year letterman and as a senior he was starting quarterback and Captain on the football team. He played 2 years on the basketball team but made his mark as a baseball player. He was a 4 year starter, beginning his career at third base. He was called on to pitch as the team’s other pitchers were having problems and he immediately showed what was to come. A stylish right hander, he tossed a no-hitter against Sweetwater and combined to throw another against Etowah in 1954. He averaged about 15 strike-outs per game throughout his career. He had interest and offers from the University of Chattanooga and Carson Newman but chose to accept a full baseball scholarship to The University of Tennessee, where he played third base and was a starting pitcher for 2 years for the Vols. He returned to teach and coach at Lenoir City and served as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director. He was elected as a charter member to the Hall of Fame in 1970. |
