YankeeDawg Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 [quote name="~old_wildcat~" post="695637" timestamp="1257260513"] How About ERNIE HOLMES,I Believe From Newton County Somewhere..And Ernest"bubba" Bean.. From Kirbyville,Who Went On To Play For The Atlanta Falcons..Can't Remember Who Holmes Played For..I Want To Say Kansas City..Could Be Wrong On That..[/quote]They called him Arrowhead , cause of the arrow he had shaved into his hair. Man, that's a long long time ago!! I could have sworn he had time with the Chiefs also, but I guess I'm mistaken.http://www.steelergridiron.com/history/articleholmes.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_HolmesANother local who went Pro was the guy who owned Homeys BBQ and Homestyle Cooking in Port Arthur a while back. He was the nicest guy you could meet. I wanna say his first name is Paul but forgot his last name though. HE did play for KC...he was telling me and my son about it when we used to eat at his place. He made the BEST smothered pork chops in the world!! He was like 6-6 300lbs+ ..a gentle giant. He lived on the same street we did back about 12 years ago. http://www.discoverourtown.com/TX/PortArthur/Dining/40340.htmlhttp://www.discoverourtown.com/TX/PortArthur/Dining/40340.html

triskiadeka Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 FOOTBALL IN SETX is better than South Texas (at the Hogh school) Level for smaller schools...I am not sure about 4A and 5A programs. I Know the Corpus Area is HUGE, but the TALK here in SETX is bigger than the talk in COrpus...( I am speaking only of 5 years of experience in Corpus, but my 2 here has shown me so much in so short a time).
WeedBegone Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Jerry Ball---All pro --Minnesota Vikings The beast to say the least. Also a lineman from Oakland who also has a super bowl ring---played at West Brook---what is his name?

Pretty good in Boot Camp also. ;)Modified---Levias was three times all SWC and All American as a senior. i'd say thats was a good way to break the barrier. Modified again---This makes me the first "whitie" to recognize the first Black SWC and All American from SETX. I love you Beaumont!!! So where's the Karma----LOL
Old61Eagle Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 I don't think anyone has mentioned big Ernie Ladd from Orange. He played pro in the 60's I think. I believe he was from the old North HS in Orange. Maybe the 1st 300 pounder in the pro.
