favorite player from setx....... ever

[tvc184]

i may be a homer but in recent years Jamie Knight and Matt Peebles were exciting to watch

This thread cries out for people to be homers. If you were busy watching your high school play year after year, who else is going to be your "favorite" player? Maybe your favorite player is an athlete that you rarely saw for your arch rival? I think not.

If the title to the thread would have been "who is the best athlete ever from this area" then I can see picking a player from another school. I can just about guarantee that most fan's favorite players were the ones that they went to see week in and week out.

well since we're talkin about favorites.....one of mine is Marlon Cook from Jasper

Well then I would have to say Jdawg03 in the summer of 02 playing something but doing it well. He once ran for .....oops that wasnt him...oh yeah he caught over ......nope not him either.....OH he scored more points than....nope that was someone else.....well he did something , somewhere to someone at sometime yeah thats what it was

[Guest bleed orange]

Tommy Peevy from Orangefield was fun to watch. He was big, strong, and quick. He just ran over people from his fullback position. He graduated in 1982. We have had some good fullbacks over the years. Kirk Hobbs and Toby Shults to name a few.

[Bobkat]

Jeff Granger from Orangefield was pretty special. All American in both football and baseball his senior year. Don't know if that's ever been done by anyone else in our area?

The man's an athlete.

I think most people in OF would vote for Thomas Hamrick. Rushed for around 230 yards in the 03 game against BC in leading the Bobcats over the Cardinals. Heck of a game to watch.

[WOS92]

Kenneth "Deon" Beasley, no doubt. Coming in not far behind are Eric Anderson, Chris Cole, Kevin Smith, Jeff Thibodeaux and a host of other Mustangs.

[SteelerCzy]

I played with Brian Ward from BC in the late 70's and early 80's, he was a special talent, the complete package of speed and power.

[Guest Techsan]

Little Joe no doubt

[WOS95]

kevin smith

What ever happened to Hamrick?

[exbccards76smom]

Saw him outside of his parents house awhile back.

Steve Worster

[KFDM COOP]

I was to young to remember him but people tell me he bulldozered people.

[meat]

mayhew brothers from nederland and paul thomas from wo-s

[KFDM COOP]

Two good ones there as well. Paul Thomas took a few fingernails off when he was playing.

[Guest bleed orange]

I think Hamrick joined the service. Which branch I don't know. I think maybe the marines.

[KFDM COOP]

Way before my time but some of the old timers say Ernie "The Cat" Ladd from Orange would just step over people when he played. ::k

[cardinal81o7]

hamrick joined the coast gaurd and is in alaska, hes a good friend of the family and my brothers best friend. i heard it after that game

[WOS95]

ernie ladd was a sucessful pro wrestler too 8)

[Critter]

I would say Kevin Smith WOS, and be ready for Johnny Dishon this year..IMO he will be the most talked about high schooler this time next year (Baseball that is paving the way) Also, My days in high school it would have to be Kendall Cleveland a real power house on both sides of the ball..
