Blurred history and I am probably going to blur it some more. Charlie Grey was indeed a fast athlete. (We are talking sub-10 seconds at 100 yards.) But his senior year of football,(1969)he was playing the wing in a wing T formation. He was the lead blocker for the tailback and they used his speed on counters and reverses. The tailback for Cherokee that year was a guy named Duarte or something like that. He wasn't as fast as Charlie Grey (who was?), but was very shifty and hard to tackle. Oh, and he was even smaller than Charlie. Roddy Maddax was not the head coach at this time, he was the assistant. I want to say that the head coach died of a heart attack sometime in the early 70's and Roddy was moved into the head job at that time. I don't remember if this was before or after Cherokee's first state run.
