HUNTSVILLE — University of Tennessee’s legendary two-sport athlete and Lee High School graduate Condredge Holloway returned to his hometown to dedicate the school’s fieldhouse – the Condredge Holloway Athletic Complex.
Holloway played baseball for Max Burleson at Lee, basketball for Jerry Dugan and football for Keith Wilson.
“The University of Tennessee has a statue of the man outside their stadium,” said Tony Woods, principal of Lee High School. “We should have something here on campus where it all started.”
Holloway was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame this year and the Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000. He was just the third UT baseball player to have his jersey retired when his No. 1 was honored in 2015.
Superintendent Christie Finley said Holloway is a shining example of what it means to be a Huntsville City Schools graduate.
“Here in Huntsville City Schools, we encourage our students to build a future and leave a legacy,” Finley said. “Mr. Holloway, you built a future and left a legacy, and our students will be reminded of that every time they enter the fieldhouse here at Lee High School.”
