It's good to see former high school athletes and know they're doing well. Such has been the case for me recently.
I bumped into former Smiths Station standout wide receiver Chris Fears last week an elevator at East Alabama Medical Center. No, he wasn't sick or anything. I think he was just visiting someone. Fears was arguably the most celebrated wide receiver in east Alabama during the early 1990s, with all due respect to Central's Shedrick Dixon. With I had asked what he's doing these days, but he seemed to be doing fine.
Tuesday, I chatted with Loachapoka basketball great Anthony Williams, formerly known as Big Ant or Big A. Williams, found doing leg presses at Gold's Gym, led the Indians to the Class 1A championship in 1996 before taking his academics and basketball skills to Vanderbilt. Today, Williams sells pharmaceutical and medical supplies. He's living in Montgomery but said he's about to move to Georgia. Macon, I believe.
I wonder who I'll run into next week.
