Thanks! How many quirantes were there?

Im pretty young compared to most people on here so I don’t know all the history.

[Hupernikomen]

Anthony Byerly from Newton has been named to the UIL all-time team, I do believe.

You beat me to it.  All three good choices. Doubt you’ll ever see another player win the Willie Ray Smith award for both offense and defense like Montana did.

Quirante was a football player but the other 2 wouldnt even make the greatest in Vidor list. Sure Culbert was fast but not a "football player".

Sounds like a warrior. All that running in the offense and to have to chase on D. Extremely well conditioned. Did he play college ball?

 Culbert may have been more of a track guy, but  you're dead wrong about Jeff Luker.  He was a beast on defense from his linebacker position, led the team in tackles for two years, Willie Ray Smith Award nominee, Super Gold linebacker, All-District and District Defensive MVP.   Ask Jeff Matthews his opinion if you doubt it.

No college ball, was committed to a two year mission for the Mormon church after high school.

Sorry Its just "MY" opinion and it hasn't changed !

Can’t forget the Mayhew brothers from Nederland. Those boys were huge and down right mean on the football field. They punished people

Was a monster at both.  He was in almost every play at MLB.

[outanup]

Montana was a BEAST......When he squared his shoulders and turned up field,snot flew....North and south my friend. Just lacked the speed and or size to get to the next level. Saw him as often as I could his senior year, helluva HS football player.

[zeroturn]

Willie Ray Smith Jr r/b

[Bulldogpower]

Colton Kimler made his presence known in a subtle way, maybe not in the elite category but Ned couldn’t have had its game district/ playoff runs without him. 

[Tiger Papa]

Calvin Tyler I loved watching Calvin run.  Set all time Silsbee rushing record.

Large Louis Kelcher, French and San Diego.

[png9mon]

Port Neches-Groves Brothers: Brad Burnett & Matt Burnett: both Defensive Lineman that dominated at their position.

Later Jake Burnett also dominant on the Defensive Line.

[BMTSoulja1]

Since we're on the subject of brothers, ill just throw out some known brother combinations...

Robert and Garrison Mitchell -  Central

Derrick Hall/Charlie Thomas - Central

Dalion Gants/ Dessane Davis - Central

Corey and Casey Nonette - Central

Travis and Quincy Victor - Central

[vp93]

Leeland McElroy from Central was a beast, when I played against him.

Like Tim listed... Luker was a pure linebacker with the stats and accolades to back it up. I'd take him on my team any day.

Rick was fast...but he had a good mind for football too. Excellent returner, and I liked him even more on defense. He had a lot of INT's. it's a shame Vidor experimented with a west coast offense for 1 year when he became QB..he would have done some damage if they remained an Option team.  Definitely didn't play to his strengths on that choice.

[Orange County Baller]

Nobody even Mentioned Deon Beasley, he was a better player than Earl in high school and they both started together at Texas.
