"I have forgotten how many players have played at the next level, but there have been many." Gentry, who was also recruited by Middle Tennessee State University and the University of North Alabama, stood out in a district loaded with talent and which produced last season’s 2A state champion (Spring Hill) and state runner-up (CPA) while helping the Tigers win over 58 games over the past four seasons.
