Travis Kelce on facing Tebow in Sugar Bowl
- Thread starter Cam Parker
- Start date
Tim played his HS ball at the Bolles Academy in south Jacksonville, Florida, where my nieces were attending. In his senior season Bolles played for the state championship where Tebow accounted for almost all of Bolles scoring, In the closing minutes, the other team drove the length of the field to the Bolles goal line. As the teams were lining up for the scoring attempt Tebow put his helmut on, ran out to the line of scrimmage, grabbed an inside tackle and sent him to the sideline and lined up himself. He made the tackle that saved the TD and the game. From the beginning, he wasn't just a football player so much as an undeniable force of nature. And I've never understood the personal criticism. Worse things could happen to any parent in the country than to have their sons want to grow up to be like Tim Tebow.
Everyone knows he couldn't throw a football, and it's one of the great mysteries of college football how he set all those state passing records in HS and college. Going by the data, he could pass pretty well.
I am sorry to correct you but he did not go to Bolles Academy, Tim was home schooled and played at Nease HS.
I don't know where the Bolles thing came from. Happening a lot lately. Apologies. Everything is correct but the school.
It is all real. The head coach had no idea Tim was going to do that. But he had carried the team all year long and I guess he just decided he wasn't going to let the state championship get away at the last second. If you were watching, it made sense, Tim looked like a grown man playing football with kids. He was as big as the interior linemen anyway. It was in the local papers the next morning.
I can neither confirm nor deny any story like that, but it's hard to deny the impact Tebow had on the Nease football program.
They were a struggling program and hadn't made a playoff appearance since 1994. Tebow's junior season (2004), he led the program back to the playoffs (won two games), and the team finished with an 11-2 record.
His senior season, they won the state title, and the rest is history. The guy changed a high school and a collegiate program. The stuff of legends.
