Tim Christian - All American

From 6-6-14

Tim Christian pictured here with his parents, Betty and Frank Christian,along with me, was probably the best and most decorated athlete in Newton County HS history. He was All State in all three major sports and was named one of the top ten basketball players in the U.S. which led him to be named to the All American team. The Ram teams he led never lost at home with a four year record of 125 wins and 9 defeats. They won 69 of the last 71 games in which he played. Tim went to Auburn where he starred as an All SEC receiver and later coached. He, along with classmate Linda Stephenson were two of the original 6 members that brought the Olympics to Atlanta. Tim also had two brothers, Greg and Wallace, who played for the Rams. Betty and Frank were life long friends of ours. Frank's word was his bond as he had a reputation for always doing what he said he would do. He thought that a good investment could prove to be better than a lifetime of toil.The advice he gave us is still very prominent in our lives. We are very fortunate that the Christian family was major part of our lives.
