ED EVERETT

SELECTED TO ALL-TIME POSSUM TEAM AS A SIDE OUTSIDE CENTER AND B SIDE FLYHALF

ONE OF THE MOST ATHLETIC INSIDE BACKS TO PLAY FOR KNOXVILLE, ED EVERETT WAS A FORMER STAR BLOUNT COUNTY ATHLETE WHO PICKED UP RUGBY AT UT.

COMFORTABLE AT FLYHALF AND IN THE CENTERS, HE PROBABLY SAW SOME TIME AT SCRUMHALF AND PERHAPS FULLBACK AS WELL, BUT EVERETT PROBABLY EXCELLED BEST AT NO. 13.

"I ALWAYS WAS A FAN OF PUTTING YOUR BEST ALL-AROUND PLAYER AT OUTSIDE CENTER," SAID PAT DORWIN. "YOU HAD TO DO EVERYTHING WELL TO PLAY THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS. ED WAS AN ELUSIVE RUNNER, A GOOD DISTRIBUTOR WHO WASN'T AFRAID TO DRAW IN A COUPLE OF DEFENDERS TO MAKE A PASS WHILE TAKING A SOLID TACKLE.

"AS A WING, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATED THAT, AND HE WASN'T AFRAID TO INVOLVE ME AT FULLBACK WHEN HE PLAYED NO. 10."

EVERETT COACHED FOR A LONG TENURE AT WEST HIGH SCHOOL.
HE ALSO HAD A BRIEF SINGING CAREER DOING KARAOKE AT THE HOTEL IN HUNTSVILLE DURING THE MID-SOUTH TOURNAMENT. ANYONE REMEMBER HIS SINGING PARTNER?
