NEVILLE PRICE – 1938.

He was another reason the football teams of 1936, 1937, and 1938 were so great. He was the greatest punter who ever played at Lenoir City and his running against an undefeated team from Loudon in 1937 led to the upset. He scored 4 touchdowns in that game—from 36, 40, 44 and 66 yards. In 1936, on the way to an undefeated season, Lenoir City had to get by the best team from Monroe County (Vonore). With Vonore near the goal line, Neville picked off a pass and ran 100 yards for the winning touchdown. He was also starting guard for the basketball team. He was another sports hero who served his country in World War II. Stationed in Sicily, he wrote to the local paper about the contrast in living conditions there and here. "The people back there don’t realized how pretty swell off they are. Even the poorest should thank God they are Americans.” He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972
