The late Thurston "Skin" Johnston told me a few years before he died,

that Buck Yancey was the fastest player he had ever seen at Crossville.

Teammate Merrell Shipp added, "He was so fast, he could outrun a phone

call."

This season would see the Lions play both Collinsville &

Geraldine twice. It also would be the first of only 3 times

in it's history, that Crossville would play Scottsboro.
