Despite his first successful field goal attempt being a game-winning desperation shot at the buzzer, Charles "Fuzzy" Harmening had no idea that he would conclude his Blue Raider basketball career as the first 1,000 point scorer in the school's history with 1,006 points. As a freshman, Harmening broke into the starting lineup shortly after Christmas of the 1946-47 season, and stayed there for three and a half years.
A native of Flintville, TN, Harmening came to MTSU after having served his country well in WWII, earning three Bronze Stars and a Distinguished Service Medal. He was a walk-on and made the team from among 70 or more players who tried out in 1946. He was captain of the team in both his junior and senior years, and was an all-conference (VSAC) performer in his junior season.
During his career at MTSU, he played for three different Hall of Fame coaches, Dr. E.K.Patty, Coach Bubber Murphy and Coach Charlie Greer. Harmening also lettered in baseball in both his sophomore and junior seasons.
