Tucker played a year at Miami before going to West Point. Was an assistant AD at Miami in the 70s. He also commanded the same squadron I flew in years later--the 16th Special Operations Squadron. Tremendous athlete who played basketball at West Point.

Miami High played a regional schedule, too. Chattanooga Central, which was one of the dominant programs in the south, can down to the Orange Bowl to play Miami High in the 40s in front of at least 40K.

Great read. Love this part though. "In the playoffs, Gables beat Tampa Robinson and John Reeves, touted as the best quarterback in Florida, 55-0." ***** John Reeves of Gator Flop fame and that bigot Doug ****ey.

As I remember Miles, he was like tackling a fire plug on ice skates. If he didn't break your ankles, then he'd run over you.

Rhymes was an animal. As I remember another one who ran over me from Central Boys Club. Actually, he was two years behind me.

Other kid on that Landstown team was Damon McDaniel. Surprised he flopped at FSU. Saw Harvin against Hylton in state quarters. He took over the game in the second half.

Beach High, '78 grad. We only played CC in 1977 in a jamboree at Miami Dade North. Williams was something to watch. Luckily, I played defense. We got out of the quarter, 0-0. They won states that year. Unbelievably talented and fast.

I can tell you the best I played against: Lester Williams and Freddie Miles.
