Fulton vs. Scott- The Series
Fulton
and Scott High meet for the 10th time tonight in Huntsville.
Fulton leads the all-time series 6-3, and leads in the games played at
Scott 3-1. The series dates back to 1993 and has featured many high and
low points for each school. The 1993 meeting saw Scott hold the Falcons
with a goal-line stand as time expired to win 21-14. The next year, the
Highlanders rained on Fulton’s homecoming with an impressive 14-0
victory in Knoxville. The most exciting meeting in the series came in
1997 when Fulton drove the length of the field in the final seconds for
a late touchdown. The Falcons chose to go for the two-point
conversion to win the game, and Tyson
Porter’s conversion run kept the Falcon’s playoff hopes alive with the
22-21 victory. A region championship was on the line in 1999 when Scott,
led by QB Scott Brummett, upset the Falcons 34-14 at Bob Black Field.
Fulton returned the favor in 2001, defeating Scott 76-0, the most points
scored by the Falcons in school history. Fulton currently holds a 4 game
winning streak in the series.

Fulton Flashback- 1974
The
year 1974 was very good for both Loudon and Fulton. Loudon won their
second state championship, while the Falcons advanced to the Class AAA
championship game for the first time. 1974 was the first time in school
history that Fulton finished the regular season undefeated and untied.
Coach Jim McClain’s team recorded 5 shutouts during the season and
captured the Region 2 championship. Fulton defeated Dobyns-Bennett 20-17
in the first round playoff game. Fulton hosted McCallie at Neyland
Stadium in the second round and defeated the Blue Tornado 21-7. In the
state championship game at Cookeville, Fulton lost a heartbreaker to
Father Ryan 29-28. |

Bob Black Field. The Falcons scored first in the game on a 40-yard pass
from Jaren Troutman to DeMarcus Matthews. Anderson Co. tied the game in
the second quarter on a 6 yard run by Shane Surface. Fulton took the
lead for good after Brandon Winters blocked an AC quick kick and Tyrone
Cobb scored on a one-yard run. The Falcons led at halftime 14-7. Fulton

Tennessee Titans Honor Buck Coatney
The
Tennessee Titans announced Monday that Buck Coatney, head football coach
of Fulton High School, has been named as the Titans High School Football
Coach of the Week. Last Friday night, the defending 3A state champions
knocked off Anderson County 35-7 improving their record to 5-2 on the
season.
Through the Titans Foundation, team
owner K.S. "Bud" Adams, Jr. will make a $1,000 contribution to the
Fulton High School football program in Coach Coatney's honor.
Coach Coatney will also receive a
framed certificate signed by NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, NFL
Director of Football Operations Gene Washington and Titans Head Coach
Jeff Fisher and will be Adams' guest at the Titans game vs. Detroit on
January 2, 2005.
"Coach Coatney is a very dedicated
and focused coach," Fulton High School Principal Kitty Hatcher said. "He
cares for all the students of Fulton High School and we are very proud
of him."
The criterion for selection includes
the coach's impact on his team, school and community. A statewide media
panel votes each week to determine the weekly winner. All high school
football coaches in Tennessee, regardless of their school's size,
league, or division, are eligible to be selected each week. The program
is designed to
recognize high school coaches who
transform, through their hard work and dedication, student-athletes into
the best possible football players and citizens in their community.

Next Week
Fulton travels to Dr. Nat Sugarman Memorial
Field next week to take on the Kingston Yellow Jackets. Kingston has
been a tough place for the Falcons to play in the past, as Fulton only
has one victory all-time at Kingston.
