WZTV FOX 17 - Top Stories
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Wednesday was a busy day in sports with National Signing Day, of course. The FOX17 Sports Department burned a lot of gas driving around Middle Tennessee to different schools. Dave Foster was down in Rutherford County, where he started at Siegel High, a school stocked full of talent. Papers were signed, and parents beamed proudly. One father in particular had a reason to hold his head high. Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill watching as his son Brent signed a letter of intent to play at Cincinnati.
"I think it's awesome," says Brent Stockstill. "I think he's excited to see the other side of it. I couldn't have done it without him. He's taught me everything I know. So many great resources come through him. So, it's just a very special day for me and him."
"He deserves all the credit because he's the one who's done it, but I'll be proud of him for sure because I've seen what this means to him," says Rick Stockstill.
Over at Blackman, more players soon heading off to play football in college. Receiver Quindell Cousin will stay in Middle Tennessee and play at TSU. Cousin says he's pumped to become part of the newest crop of players for the Tigers!
"I'm very excited and ready to start a new beginning," says Cousin. "A new chapter in my life playing football at the college level."
One of Cousin's teammates will be doing the same thing in the ivy league. Linebacker Brandon Davenport is headed to Brown, where he'll be joined by a former opponent. Siegel Defensive End John A. Simpson will also become a Bear with Davenport!
"Me and John A., we've been good buddies through high school," says Davenport. "So, we might try to do some rooming together or something like that."
One more star signing Wednesday - Receiver Tae Martin, who will be heading to Tennessee Martin.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Memphis police have arrested a man accused of fatally shooting one man and wounding another.
The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/188G97s ) reports that 21-year-old Setric Hall has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, attempted second-degree murder and using a firearm during a felony.
He's being held in the Shelby County Jail.
Police say the shootings occurred Wednesday night. Officers found a 26-year-old man on the floor with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead there, and later identified as Devin Cox.
A few minutes later, officers responded to another location, where they found a 22-year-old man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.
Police believe that Hall was trying to shoot his girlfriend when the 22-year-old man intervened.
The girlfriend was not injured.
