Circa:  Mid to late 1950's.  Gordon LeBoeuf (?) and Ronnie (?) LaBorde down at PN-G  Not certain about the spelling in the two instances.  They were a "Thing of Beauty" though.

Early 80's Newton had Anthony Byerly he was a stud. Also Todderick Pendland from Newton from 2003-2005

Saw Todderick in the Astrodome, man he was fast.  I recall a kid at Dayton some years ago (80's maybe) that was fast.  Think his last name was Peoples, but not sure.  Sam McGuffy was fun to watch, but way too full of himself. 

All in all, I have yet to see any who run like Jonathan Grey from Aledo. 

BH had one several years ago who could run from side-line to side-line faster than any kid you ever saw, but when it came to contact he was not in favor of that.  ;)

I watched Byerly in Newton (when I was in school there), Ford in Kirbyville... both were awesome to watch....waiting on them to break away for a long one. ;D

Sticking with just southeast Texas players (that is the title of the thread, but knew some would bring up other names), there have been many very good running backs from SETX, but not sure if you could call them great.


Wooster, Byerly, Rodney Thomas of Groveton and maybe a couple of others could be considered great running backs.


The best one game performance by a local running back that I have ever seen was by Silsbee's Jay McGuire in '93. He rushed for 464 yards and 6 TD's against Nederland. He had over 600 all-purpose yards that night. (rushing, receiving, returns).

Gene Walker HD- Steve Woo Wooster BC- Jeff da jet Bergeron PNG ;)
[/quote]They say Gene Walker from Hull-Daisetta was special. I believe Rodney Thomas, Jamal Charles and Traylon Shead were the best I seen. I played with Sedric Broussard and nobody wanted to tackle that beast from H-D. 6'3 230 4.60 40. BEAST!

Reggie Davis- Jasper...but I also remember a guy on PNG's '89 team that ran all over Jasper in the playoffs in Pasadena. It seemed like he ran the ball every play of the fourth quarter to ice that game for them after they took a big lead early. We couldn't stop him for anything. Do you Indian fans remember him?

"lectric" Leeland McElroy. Him , Jamal Charles, Christine Michaels , Jerry LeVias and Joe Washington are up there if not the best to come out of this area.
[/quote]Leeland was on another level in his time. that guy had afterburners! I seen him reverse field versus Vidor i swear the kid made a 3 yard gain into a sportscenter highlight!

    • You have more faith than some other WOS fans😂
    • Go live in a third world country then get back to me about the word “poor”…..you ll have a different perspective.  Your right a kid shouldn’t suffer for parents decisions, but that’s the world we live in created by those who don’t teach responsibility as well as handicapping by giving handouts.  Cause and effect.   Now yes there are people who are hit with some tragic unforeseen circumstances who need help to get back on their feet but that’s different then a habitual irresponsible lifestyle  fema is a totally different animal.  And it’s actually  something I’ve never had to deal with…..so I can’t really speak on it but I do know it’s a govt agency and most govt agencies are poorly ran.  Natural disasters have been part of this earth for a long time….way before fema came along and people have managed. said kids get taught by said parents that the govt owes them for their circumstances instead of seeing for what it really is and the lesson that should actually be taken from such a life…..”I’m not going to be like my parent or parents….im going to look at others as examples …..my teachers, my coaches, any aunts or uncles, relatives etc etc that are successful…..I’m going to work hard and smart and make good decisions and what bad decisions I do make I’m going to learn from.” Suffering is a great teacher.  This earthly place is temporary and many will suffer even the righteous and even children. Life on earth is not fair….its not a new concept. The good ole race card.  I’m not surprised. I feel the same way no matter the color.  Whites are just as guilty as any other race.  It’s not a race issue it’s a culture issue.  You have allowed color to guide your thought process…..is that what you were taught. how bout you check out the income of many of those politicians you vote for who care so much about kids.  They go in as an every day working citizens then come out millionaires off of shady deals, kickbacks and taxpayers backs. They keep promising y’all false promises and you keep falling for it….bidens been doing it for over 40 years. i just wasted time on this reply because you are not hearing any of it……..you want handouts with no accountability. .sorry to the posters who wasted their time reading this…..it got off topic.

    • And that was in “deep blue” NJ. 
    • Baseball bat time again. You mentioned two “mental” disorders. That tells me they are made up in someone’s mind. Allowing a male in women’s restrooms and letting them compete in women’s sports makes them feel better about themselves? All they amount to is males who can’t hack it in the real world.
