Vince Young in a land slide. No one close. He had a certain it in HS. My nephew went to Hightower. And when they Played Madison in the playoffs, he seemed so relieved when he'd heard Vince probably wouldnt play in that game. Well, I knew very little about VY. When the teams came out of the tunnel, Vince wasn't their. Then he suddenly appeared surrounded by a few Madison coaches. My nephews exspression was that of, UH OH! The rest is history, Vince almost single handedly murdered a power Hightower Defense that year. His poise as a HS athlete was incredible. By far the best.

I played against Kenny King of Clarendon. Kenny played FB at OU and went on to the NFL with the Oakland Raiders.

One of the best HS RB's I ever saw play was a kid named Brad Beck from Perryton Texas. He received a scholarship from UT. He was so good, UT's Fred Akers gave his dad a job as assistant coach to ensure they could sign him.

UT didn't work out for Brad. I understand he allowed the temptations of Austin to get the better of him.

James Brown(WB), Frank Middleton(WB), Calvin Collins(WB), Corey Pullig(Deer Park),Kendall Cleveland(WOS), Michael Hendricks (Bayton Sterling), Gerald Moore (Yates), Leeland MCelroy(Central) these are the one's I played with and against that I think were the best HS players that I've seen.

Briles(Stephenville), Katy RB a couple of years ago, LaMarque QB a couple of years ago, Riley Dodge(Southlake Carroll) are just a few that I can remember as a fan that stood out

Ever in High School?  "Lil Joe" Washington at PA Lincoln.

  I was just a kid at the time (and most of you weren't born yet), but 1972's      PA Lincoln VS PNG game that featured "Lil Joe" Washington VS Jeff "The Jet" Bergeron may still be the best high school game I've ever witnessed.

I've only seen film, but Kenneth Hall from Sugarland in the early 50's was simply outstanding. I think he still holds some state rushing records to this day.

Ken Hall still holds the national and state records for career yards and season yards and he never played more than 12 games in a season.  He was ahead of his time.  Ran a 9.6 100 and was big for a back in that era.  Signed to play for Bear Bryant at A&M.  Got married the summer before he started college.  The Bear didn't like married players so he wouldn't play him at RB.  I think Hall only played 2 years at A&M.  Signed a free agent contract a few years later with the expansion Oilers and hurt his knee I believe his rookie year and didn't play but 2 or 3 years.  Later in life the Bear said that the way he handled Ken Hall was the biggest coaching mistake of his career.

    • What were the issues at Rusk?  SB, Admin, Culture, Pay?  Inquiring minds would like to know.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️
    • Good luck and safe travels. Bring it home.
    • It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
