Where Are They Now - Part II

Marty Allison

Dickson Sports Media

In the WHERE ARE THEY NOW series, the goal was to list every player and coach that fit into a category. Several coaches and athletic departments at each school were contacted to get all the names possible. Unfortunately, not everyone responded back, (or some were simply overlooked) which led to some coaches and players being omitted from the series. If you recognize that someone has been left out of the series, please contact Dickson Sports Media on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and names will be added as needed.

In a continuing series on ‘Where Are They Now’, this week picks back up with local graduates who have continued in the sports world after high school, specifically those individuals on the professional level. Part 2 also makes mention of one non-graduate that has a local connection.

Future stories in the series will focus on middle school and high school coaches, and athletes who are still competing at the next level (or have recently wrapped up their final year at the collegiate level).
