Locals in the Pros, All Sports?

[bullets13]

Who do we have locally who's playing in a professional league?  Name the kid, what school they're from, and where they're playing now.  And to be clear, I'm talking about setx schools, not some school from houston that just happens to be on the edge of our local district.

Are we talking Minor league baseball and D League basketball too?

we can.  I believe the Dallas brothers are both in the minors right now.

I think this is a great topic. If Football is king then the # of football guys should outweigh the rest significantly.

Wrong.

Baseball has 150 minor league teams. NFL has zero.

But you already know this.

Yes I know , just making a point that there are many kids out there that excel and go pro in something other than Football, yet it gets all the attention.

Yep. Probably always will in this neck of the woods. Football is king. From there the other sports get in line in popularity and, therefore,  recognition.
