TFS Athletic Legends

2022

Tim Crenshaw ('71) was a standout for Tallulah Falls on the football field. He was an All-State lineman, and was part of the legendary 1968 football team at TFS. Crenshaw also played basketball, ran cross country, and competed in track and field.

He was a four-year letterman, and a two-time high point man for track and field, an All-State lineman as a junior in football, and placed third at state in shot put with a distance of 56-3. On the gridiron, he was the starting right tackle and left defensive end. Crenshaw even as a sophomore at TFS was also a leader off the field, as he was one of the Work Leaders on campus.

Crenshaw was given the opportunity to pursue football at the University of Georgia, playing one year before going to Truett McConnell College (now TMU). He eventually returned to UGA and then entered into the construction business. He was a top apprentice and foreman during just his first year on the job, and he credits his quick rise in the industry to TFS due to being able to read drafting and shop class at Tallulah Falls. Crenshaw has been a commercial construction superintendent and the head guy at the Carpenter's Union.
