Re: Best players Ever from your high school

Choctawhatchee HS, Ft. Walton Beach, FL
old school from back in my day (class of '77): Miles Valentine, DL at LSU (sadly, concussions ended his career early, though he saw the field as a sophomore)
Willis Yates, LB, UT-Chat
less old-school - Billy Luckie, QB, Clemson (my cousin's son)
recent vintage: DJ Hall (yeah, baby!)
(I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting)

Southern Choctaw HS (mrs. exiled's school)
Spencer Johnson, DE, the Barn, plus MN Vikings - pretty cool, given the very small size of the school

Oh, and from the same school, our very own TiM, the pride of Clinton, MS!

Re: Best players Ever from your high school

Colbert Co. (AL.) High:

Ozzie Newsome - needs no introduction.
Phillip Gargis - ( QB at the Onliest Village on the Plains) . . The year these two were seniors, they played Cullman for the 3A title. (four classifications at that time) Trailed 21 - 0 at the half. Won the game 51-21. Six guys from that team played SEC or Gulf South level (Jax State, Troy State) football.

Dante Ellington - off tackle for the 1999 SEC champs.

Leon Douglas played some hoops for the Tide

Here's another one....Ed West (Tight End GB Packers for many years)

Re: Best players Ever from your high school

MSHS
Just to add some detail, Dennis Homan was a receiver for Stabler, 1st Team All American, and played with the Dallas Cowboys and KC Chiefs. Has 2 championship rings - Bama Nat'l Championship and Cowboys NFL Championship.

And as a MSHS alum, no Rece Davis doesn't count. _lol:



Phil Gargis is my cousin and I remember the championship game against Cullman well. The team bus traveling to Cullman broke down and players had to dress in pads at a convenience store while waiting on another bus. The team was late (almost had to forfeit the game under AHSAA rules) and didn't get to warm up before kickoff.

Thad Flannagan was also on that team and played for Coach Bryant.

And yeah, Leon Douglas did play "some" hoops for Bama: Link: Leon Douglas bio :biggrin:

Then you must know where Ford City is located

Re: Best players Ever from your high school

Hey Duke,

What year did you graduate? I graduated in 1983 with Scott Bolton who, sadly, played at the Barn and signed with Green Bay before he blew his knee out.

Scott told me about a week before NSD that he was going to Bama, but I guess the pressure from his family (all Barn grads) was too much.

1994.

Oden was a very good player that was always overshadowed . Very under-appreciated . Didn't he stick with Philly for a while ?
