Watson & Mack Brown, Jeff Peeples, Sandy Haury make Tennessean's All-1960s Decade team
Mike Organ has a premium piece in the Tennessean highlighting the greatest players to come out of the Midstate in the 1960s. (To be followed soon by 1970s, 1980s, etc.) Watson Brown is the QB, and several others who went on to play at Vandy made it. Includes some great old photos from the Tennessean's archives.

And outside of Nashville, before there were districts and regions, there were conferences. Eg. Central Tennessee Conference, in southern Middle Tennessee. What were some others?

The Mid-South Conference was all private schools - McCallie and Baylor in Chattanooga, Columbia Military Academy, Sewanee Military Academy, Tennessee Military Academy (Sweetwater), Castle Heights Military Academy (Lebanon) and Darlington School (Rome, GA.).

Yes, there were several high school bowl games. A couple of others I remember were the Mid-State Bowl in Lebanon and the Butter Bowl in Pulaski and of course the Clinic Bowl, held at Vanderbilt Stadium. Surely there were more in other parts of the state.
