Some good ones there.

I honestly cannot see how Eddie Owens of Wheatley got left off this list. Also Ira Terrell and David Lattin.

Willie Warren and DeAndre Jordan could have a place in those list. Saw both of them play over the last 5 years.

Yall are forgetting one of the greatest scorers of alltime  Troy House 87-90.  i believed he played for leakey, blanco, and Ingram.  he may not of played pro ball, but this guy could straight up score.  He may have the record for most points scored in a career in high school in texas.

I remember House. Yes he is the all time leading scorer in Texas high school history. I believe this list takes in consideration what a player did during and after high school, i.e. college and pro.

As for House scoring, I have seen his numbers and saw him play in state tourney. I believe you put many players in his position on those teams and given the opportunity to shoot as many times as House did, you would see someone else at the top of the all time scoring list.

I really wasn't that impressed with House and his game. Played zero defense (which showed up in college) and in that semifinal I saw him play in Austin, he attempted by himself a total of 49 shots!! All he had to do was convert just 25-30% and he scores 25 or more points.

I have no problem with House not being on this list.

very true.....

Calvin Gerke from Snook 63-66....  im just throwing names out there.

Drexler was average in high school. Didn't blossom until college. It's obvious he was picked for his exploits after high school. Eddie Owens, or as we called him from the neighborhood"Mauchie," definitely should be on the list. And was also a very good college player at UNLV.

[freeze 1914]

No Ray Jackson or Jimmy King??

[BADSANTA]

What about Glendon Alexander for Newiman Smith,  Daniel Ewing Willow Ridge, Darrel Arthur, John Henson North Carolina, and Perry Jones.

[Franchiseball]

I have been to the state tourney since 95 and the most impressive person was Standley Bonewitz for SA East Central. Played at Tech after high school.

He was a nice player at Tech.

Eddie Owens was incredible at UNLV he is the all time points leader to be exact. Word is though he was one of about 4 absolute beasts on that wheatley team. I still think he should be on the list

[/quote]Eddie was the lone beast on that team and the the rest were his supporters. And his supporters were almost as good  :D
