LOL... There are so many great players from this area, it's hard to narrow them down to a handful -- if I put all of them on here (Beaux Daville, OF; Elijah Burkins, TJ; Shanderrick Charles, Lincoln; Jay Maguire, Silsbee; Hadnot, K'ville; Dexter Hebert, Kelly, etc.), the list would be about a mile long. :lol:

Either way, it's something fun to discuss, and if someone wants to name other people or how they think these RBs rank in comparison to each other, that's the name of the game. :)

LOL... I hope I didn't lose my Mustang fan card for leaving him out! :lol:

Just to clarify, when I put up a poll for best RB of all time, I was really thinking about players who came from the Orange, Jefferson, Newton, Hardin,and Jasper County areas and their HS careers only. For example, Ernest Anderson didn't put up the numbers the others did in HS; however, he was certainly one of the best college backs this area has ever produced.

When Worster was a senior for BC, he was the MOST HIGHLY RECRUITED player coming out of high school that year. Over 80 colleges were seeking his signature. Imagine that today with all the media. It would be mind boggling to watch play out in the media on a local level. I was 6 yrs old and living right behind the visitor side in Bridge City. I have very faint memories, but some. Every little kid there loved the number 30. When you compare running backs from different eras, you have to keep it in perspective because talent is getting better. Within that perspective, I would say Worster is still the best ever from our area. I have vivid memories of watching Little Joe play his senior year. He was just incredible in open field. For those of you who got the opportunity to watch Beasley play, you all know how incredible Deon is in open field. Magnify that a TON, and you can then imagine watching Li'l Joe. I remember when Bo Schembechler came to Austin to inquire about Coach Royal's offense, Coach Royal told Bo that what he really wanted to see was "my fullback and he's spoken for for 3 more years". When the 1970 Texas Football Magazine came out, and when I saw Worster on the cover, I was about to turn 10 and I was in awe of our hometown hero. Yea, Worster was the most decorated back ever from our area - as a high schooler.

Bubba Bean was definitely a strong back in HS -- maybe the best ever to come out of K'ville. As for Brian Cleveland, I thought he was a tremendous athlete, and I enjoyed getting to watch him play for WOS from his tenth grade year through his senior year (I was a year below him). He put up some great all-purpose numbers, but as a RB, his stats were not quite as impressive as the RBs on the list. Getting to see him in action, though, was always a treat -- he, alone, could change the dynamics of any game.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
