Miscellaneous Stars
|
"Lightning in a bottle" was what we called John Dickerson (1995-97). Injuries plagued him throughout this career, otherwise he would've gone down as one of the all-time greats. |

Three of the best offensive linemen in school history (Archie Glass, John Poole, and Kenyatta Towles) hit the sled in 1994. |
Eric Thompson, Micah Knight, and Nick Walton captained the 2000 Eagles. |
Nick Logan, Richard Williams, T.J. Price, and Dominique Fitzgerald were the captains of a 2007 Eagles team that made the Regional Championship game. |
Eddie Martin poses with 1998 captains Sean Talbert and Antwain Kirby. |
Darry Wimbush, Jeff Compton and Ricky Sittle captained the 1999 edition of the Eagles. |
We affectionately called D.J. Jackson "midget." He might be my favorite Eagle player ever. He ran for over a thousand yards and scored 15 touchdowns from 1999-2001. |
A flashy dresser with a penchant for the big play, Dominique Fitzgerald was a three-year, two-way starter from 2005-2007. He scored 13 touchdowns and amassed over a thousand receiving yards. |
Everett Woods (right) was Eddie Martin's Defensive Coordinator for more than a decade. He was named Head Coach after Martin died and piloted the Eagles for three years, leading them to two playoff berths and one appearance in the Regional Championships. |
Haylen Murphy was one of the most prolific runners in Eagle history. He set a school record against Page with 325 on 23 carries. |
Justin Ferrell was a two-year starter at Defensive Back who also turned some big plays on offense. He went on to an all-conference career at North Carolina A&T. |
Marcus Dodson won the "Hammer" award in 2003. He was a two-time all-district pick at Defensive End. |
Chris McDuffie was a four-year varsity star at G.W. He starred at Linebacker, Defensive Tackle, and Offensive Line---and even played some Tight End! He went on to an All-ACC career at Clemson. |
Nick Logan was a three-year starter for Dan Newell at Linebacker. Pound-for-pound, one of the hardest hitters I've seen. |
Orion Martin was a two-way star at G.W. in the early 2000's. After a brief stop at Norfolk State, he went on to an All-ACC career at Virginia Tech. |
Patrick Clifton was the Eagles' punter for three years, excelling in an often-overlooked position. |
Greg Thompson anchored the rushing attack on Dan Newell's early Eagle teams, gaining more than a thousand yards. |
Tim Moore was one of the more versatile stars to wear the Silver Bonnett. In his four-year varsity career he served as a starting quarterback, free safety, kick returner and specialist---running several successful fake punts. |
T.J. Price holds virtually every G.W. career passing record. He was a three-year starter who saw significant duty as a Freshman. He was a two-time all-district selection. |
Zach Gibson joined with Nik Logan to form one of the best linebacking duos in Eagle history. Gibson started three years and contributed on offense as well. |
Zach Smith was one of the best Eagles' kickers in recent years. He has the most field goals of anyone not named Rafael Garcia. |
Tahron Goods was David Wilson's running mate for three years, piling up spectacular numbers for a "number-two" running back. |
