Where and when did you play?

Beach High, '78 grad. We only played CC in 1977 in a jamboree at Miami Dade North. Williams was something to watch. Luckily, I played defense. We got out of the quarter, 0-0. They won states that year. Unbelievably talented and fast.

I've heard stories about Freddie Miles. Me & Ty's moms went to Springs with him. The older guys from my neighborhood swear he's greatest ever. Willis is also from the area and they used to say he couldn't hold Miles jockstrap...

Leroy Butler and Emmitt Smith. By the time both were 9th graders they dominated anyone on the field.

The Mad Stork. You have to be old to have seen him but dang he was wrecking crew. You had to run at him, which was a bad option, because you just could not run away from him. If young today, I wonder if he would be TE. Back in his day TEs were mostly blockers.

Spenser Tillman, Tulsa Edison. Wayman Tisdale, Tulsa Washington. Our HS basketball team played Tulsa Washington in the State Finals. We had a guy that could dunk. Wayman smashed us. I remember seeing my first alley-oop. Also Mike Gundy.
