HTaylor Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 From what I saw, they picked one person from East Texas town. So, if you aren’t the best in your school history, you don’t make the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he was the best but definitely should be mentioned I lived in palestine the year they won state champs in 1964 . I went to the game i was only 3 years old.My dad told me quiet a few stories about Super Bill ...and said he was an(quarterback) amazing athlete. Our station wagon was loaded with kids around the neighborhood headed to state game :) I slept most of time and just don't remember much at that age.

bluetopper Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Would Darrell Green qualify? Or if you want to go back a few years, Raymond Berry and Gene Stallings who both played for Paris High at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not based on the write ups in the LNJ poll/article ..... most of them include their career achievements .... I think they just threw it together and didn't really do a lot of research .... if they had, there is no way you leave out Ken Houston .... he has to be at least top 3 all-time and most of the people they included pale in comparison to him .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my oldest son was playing for Waskom, they held Craver to about 45 yards rushing and beat Harelton like a rented mule that year. Waskom went to the quarter finals that year.
