Yep. I was 2 years ahead of him and played football with him for 2 years (he played varsity as a freshman) and also did power lifting with him. He was our starting MLB where I was our starting DT, so we spent a lot of time BSing around. I know he's big into fishing and it looks like he's trying his hand at the professional level. Best of luck to him. He was a pretty cool guy in HS.

Cool. I threw discus against him, we were in the same region. I threw in the 180s, which is usually considered pretty damn good. He threw farther standing from the front of the ring than I did spinning. He threw 215, and still holds the Texas state HS record (as far as I know). I watched him throw over 220 multiple times warming up.

Yep. He was recruited to Texas for both football and track and threw for them a year or two.

Aside from him, my hometown is apparently also known for The greatest Texas high school football player you probably never heard of. I also played with his son. Texas Sports HOF Inductee and looks to still hold the career INT record in the state.

Also the woman that played Sif in the Thor movies.

I mentioned a while back on the Entertainment Board when I realized she also played the high school chick that Dennis falls for on Always Sunny. I wonder why Marvel dropped her from playing Sif.

Ag11 beat me to my answer for the town I went to HS in.

I was also going to say "The Birthplace of Texas" and Corey Pullig of football fame in the early 90's.

For the town I lived in - Gilley's/Urban Cowboy and the Strawberry Festival.

Was this the year 5A went to two divisions? I feel like I remember seeing Division 1 Champs sign or banner at Leo Buckley when we played there for a playoff game in 2000.
