Steve Spurrier goes back to Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tennessee to help celebrate the dedication of Steve Spurrier Field at Kermit Tipton Stadium. Kermit Tipton was the legendary coach of the Science Hill Hilltoppers. Spurrier never forgot where he came from. This took place a few years back, 2010, I believe.
Science Hill has a long tradition of high school sports excellence in Tennessee. He made all-state in football, basketball, and baseball. As a starting pitcher he never lost a game in three years and led his team to two consecutive state baseball championships. He was named a high school All-American quarterback. Spurrier is a member of both the Tennessee and Florida Sports Hall of Fame.
Spurrier's brother, Graham, still lives in Johnson City. Although I think he stayed away for a number of years, Spurrier has enjoyed going back and being among the people of his old hometown.
