Been alot of great ones in SE Tx but Little Joe and Jeff the Jet get my vote.  Bergeron didn't have as much success after high school as some of the others that have been mentioned but in high school he was unbelievable.

Two names I can't believe have not been on here yet, Deon Beasley of WOS and Dustin Long of PNG

Are you serious, deon and dustin, thats the best you've EVER seen? you need to watch more h.s. football gabe, theyre ok but the best...NO SIR.

Jay Mcgwire from silsbee was one of the best h.s. athletes ive ever seen play.

Like I care what you think? You bash every post I ever put. I am only 28 years old and seen more HS football than you can dream of - plus I was smart enough to find a way to get paid for it.

As for as my picks, Long was a great, great QB. If you question that start watching ice skating.

As for as Beasley - he was worth price of admission.

Then take a second grade class again to help read because I never once even said they were the best I seen. I said I can't believe their names had not been brought up and I wanted to give them some respect.

Gabe, Gabe!  You're displaying the temper of an Editor.  I remember when you were that happy-go-lucky, quick witted sports writer. ;D  

Man you have no idea!  :D

After I put thought into who my tops are I go like this in no order...

Beasley is in the list - He was flat out amazing with the football in his hands. Go check the stats if anyone has a problem with it.

Charles was incredible

Hate to admit it since I'm a PNG guy but Briles from Stephensville sure looked good that night  :'(

Earl Thomas - did anything and everything and did them to a superstar level. His senior year he barely left the field.

Drew Tate

VY's hightlight tapes are incredible.

Cant go wrong with that list but I'm sure IUOE will cause of his man-crush on me.

DUSTIN LONG was one of the top ball players I have seen and I have seen games all over the country for free and the love of the game. How many of his games did you see? I saw every game he played from his soph year until he stopped at the Texas State champoinship game. This kid was the real deal he may not have been all bright and shiney but he had all th things it takes to have been a great QB as he was. If he would HAD MADE BETTER COLLEGE CHOICES HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PROS. Now that being said all the people you all have posted are good or great players the ones that I know anyways.

Hope you realize I agree with Long. I didn't put him in my list but I could have easily done so. I went to PNG and was a senior when Long was a sophomore. He was impressive then and kept it going in college.

Ok mine will be a little different. These are guys who I watched play multiple times and & not some one time snapshot. Anyway, I'm going with the players who just popped in my head. Some you have heard of and others....maybe not.

Tony January RB West Orange Chiefs (70's): I remember watching this guy tote the rock as a kid. He was one of my early gridiorn heros. Good times. I remember that climbing up the goal posts to help hold the run-through sign was the coolest thing.

Dodge to Duhon (TJ 80's): Watched them when the Stangs would play TJ & also caught multiple playoff games. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

Ron McGill RB (PN-G 89...I think): Lived in PN & wife is from there so I attended almost all of the PN-Games during this time. I really enjoyed watching him tote the rock. He ran as if his hair was on fire.

Keith Mouton WR/RB/Returner (Katy Tigers 2000): Lived in Katy for 6 years and attended most games. The guy was Mr. Everything for the 2000 state championship team which is the BEST HS football team that I've ever seen.....by far. They dominated from the power I. They could lineup, point to the hole they were going to run through and still kick your tail for 4+ yards.....just beautiful football. Other teams knew what was coming but just could not stop it. This team finished #6 in the nation (USA Today National Rankings)

Billy Roy Bell  1978 - 1981  Dayton High School

He was something special. The teams were not that special (got knocked out early by a real good Bellville team, two years in a row i think) but Billy was fun to watch. He then played at Lamar and had a short stint in the NFL with Houston and Kansas City.

since youve seen more football than i have, were you at the wimberly game when beasley did absolutely nothing in crunch time? big time players make big plays in big games. end of story.

and i know you never SAID those two were the best youve ever seen, but i just assumed they were since this is the thread for the BEST H.S. PLAYERS EVER SEEN!!!

WOS hater it seems. Beasley did it up until that game. Mac Brown and Co. liked him. Or no they didn't!! They just recruited him.

i guess you don't watch the same team play on Saturdays as i do? #7 won't tackle. and no, i love wo-s football theyre a great program, just don't want certain players held up on a pedestal just because someone might KNOW them.

I don't know him. But i know he's a great Player and was in HS. Your crazy if you don't think he was. He was one of the best running QB's i've ever seen and no he didn't just look good against Orangefield and HF either.

OK, my bad i don't want this thread to turn into a Deon Beasley thread so I'll concede, he's the best in burnt orange, you happy?

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
