Ammie Thomas Sikes (July 26, 1892 – September 1963) was a college football player.

Early years

Ammie Sikes was born on July 26, 1892 in Smyrna, Tennessee to Jessie Sikes and Jennie James.[1]

Vanderbilt University

Football

Sikes was a prominent fullback for Dan McGugin's Vanderbilt Commodores of Vanderbilt University from 1911 to 1914. He was thrice selected All-Southern.[2]

1911

The 1911 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) championship team outscored opponents 259 to 9, suffering its only loss by a single point to Michigan. Edwin Pope's Football's Greatest Coaches reads "A lightning-swift backfield of Lew Hardage, Wilson Collins, Ammie Sikes, and Ray Morrison pushed Vandy through 1911 with only a 9-8 loss to Michigan." The Atlanta Constitution voted it the best backfield in the South.[3]

1912

The 1912 team lost only to national champion Harvard and outscored opponents 393 to 19. The Commodores scored 100 points in both of its first two games.

1913

On the 7 to 6 win over Tennessee in 1913, one account reads "'Red' Rainey shone for Tennessee, though he was later relegated to the side lines after a collision with one A. Sikes, Esq., otherwise known as the "Roaring Representative from Williamson."[4]

1914

Sikes was captain of the 1914 team.

Coaching career

He coached Montgomery Bell Academy in 1916 and to the state prep championship in 1917.[5][6]
