JohnnyT60 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 There was a Reggie White out of Liberty a few years ago. He did go onto a D1 school, I can't remember which one. Don't know if he is in the pro's are not though. I found this: Reggie White, Liberty High School Panthers football legend, returned home and joined The Vindicator as sports reporter. The 1997 LHS graduate was the first Liberty County product to play in the National Football League, joining the New York Jets in 2000 after a successful three-year career at Oklahoma State University. Besides the Jets, White played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Green Bay Packers in the NFL and the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League.
JohnnyT60 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Looks like you owe panthaplaya an apology.
WOS92 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Bum Phillips and Wade attended West Orange, I believe.
JohnnyT60 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I beleive Bum may have attended Nederland.
Guest GoStangs Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 According to the Museum of the Gulf Coast: Coach O.A. "Bum" Phillips was born in Orange, Texas, attended high school in Beaumont, played football at Lamar Junior College, and was the head football coach at Nederland and Port Neches-Groves before taking the Houston Oilers to the AFC Championships twice.
Guest GoStangs Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Also from the Museum of the Gulf Coast: Coach Wade Phillips was born in Orange, Texas, the son of former NFL head coach Bum Phillips. He attended Port Neches-Groves High School and went on to be a three-year starter at linebacker at the University of Houston under head coach Bill Yeoman. Phillips began his coaching career at his alma mater in 1969, then coached at Orange High School for three years before moving to Oklahoma State in 1973 and Kansas in 1975.

WHFAN Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Reggie White from Liberty went to OSU for 3 years and left early. He entered the draft and went undrafted then later signed as a free agent
PANTHERPLAYA09 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Okay yall believe them but not me? I think i would know. I do go to LHS.
WHFAN Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Reggie got some bad advice to leave school early to go into the draft.I dont think he was ready for the NFL .Thats why he is working at the news paper in Liberty now
Pimp Smack Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Chad Lutrull from Lumberton played for the Cowboys for a very short amount of time.
yepyep Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Lutrull is not listed as a former player for the Cowboys. Practice squad maybe?
j_dog Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 No expert on Jasper's NFLers but these are the one I know Eugene Seale Houston Oilers Ben Bronson Ind. Colts Zach Bronson 49ers John Davis Minn. Derrick Armstrong Houston Texans And James Hadnot, RB at Kansas City for 3 years.
WOS92 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Greg Hill of the KC Chiefs did not attend WO-S. WO-S pros that I can think of: Kevin Smith, Dallas Cowboys (started on three SB champs) Chris Cole, Denver Broncos Giles Cole, Minnesota Vikings Ernie Ladd, Oilers, Chargers, Chiefs Ernest Anderson, Detroit Lions Jay Canizaro, SF Giants Bruce Aven, various MLB teams Andre Robertson, Yankees John Patterson, Nationals
yepyep Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Greg Hill went to Dallas Carter, then A&M.
Newton Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Kevin Dean - 49ers What about the Farr Brothers, the humongus linebacker that played for the Oilers?, the Illustrious Warren Wells,
L-TOWN baseball Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 yea luttrel just played a few preseason games i believe..
tam2121 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Greg Hill of the KC Chiefs did not attend WO-S. WO-S pros that I can think of: Kevin Smith' date=' Dallas Cowboys (started on three SB champs) Chris Cole, Denver Broncos Giles Cole, Minnesota Vikings Ernie Ladd, Oilers, Chargers, Chiefs Ernest Anderson, Detroit Lions Jay Canizaro, SF Giants Bruce Aven, various MLB teams Andre Robertson, Yankees John Patterson, Nationals[/quote'] Kerry Bennett-RB Wos Was drafted by the Washington Redskins, but had to retire early on because of a knee injury.
12 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Leland Douglas graduated from Ozen, went to Baylor on a football scholarship, and then played receiver for the Dolphins during the Dan Marino era. Now he coaches at LCM.
WOS92 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I graduated w/ Kerry. Was he drafted? I thought he signed as a free agent, but I guess that certainly still qualifies him. Also, Kendall Cleveland signed with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent.
mustang4life Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 GREG HILL- DEFENSIVE BACK DID PLAY FOR WOS- KC CHIEFS & I THINK FOR OAKLAND RAIDERS
JohnnyT60 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Greg Hill of the KC Chiefs did not attend WO-S. WO-S pros that I can think of: Kevin Smith' date=' Dallas Cowboys (started on three SB champs) Chris Cole, Denver Broncos Giles Cole, Minnesota Vikings Ernie Ladd, Oilers, Chargers, Chiefs Ernest Anderson, Detroit Lions Jay Canizaro, SF Giants Bruce Aven, various MLB teams Andre Robertson, Yankees John Patterson, Nationals[/quote'] Yes he did! Class of "79"
Guest GoStangs Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Greg Hill went to Dallas Carter' date=' then A&M.[/quote'] Wrong Greg Hill... That one was a RB. The Greg Hill that went to WOS was a DB, and he played college at Oklahoma State. He played in the pros from 83-88 -- mostly with KC, but he played at Houston his rookie year and played with the Raiders the year before his retirement.

Guest GoStangs Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Here's one from Little Cypress HS: Joe Bob Isbell -- he played college ball at UH and was a lineman for the Cowboys from 62-66.
