BigRedFan Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Male or female? I can think of several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS1988 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Darrin "Bay" Terry. Played at A&M, won a National Championship at Oklahoma City University, and played proffesionally in Europe if im not mistaken. Dude could jump out of the gym and shoot your eyes out. His accolades in high school are too many for me to remember. One that sticks out in my memory is he beat Larry Johnson in the slam dunk competition at the Whataburger All Star tourney. Been a long time so details are sketchy but he was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pre-game warm up was the best part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedFan Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 How about the late Don Meredith from Mount Vernon? He was good in football as well as basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSAlum05 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Lynn Royal, Willie Bean, Steve Rainwater were all pretty solid. Female I'd probably go with Stacy Stevens from Winnsboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centexdad Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I thought of Wesley and Darrin Terry immediately. Played against Terry - I am a pretty tall guy and could touch the top of the square. I went up with Terry, jumped as high as I could, and fouled him on the forearm. People probably forget that year ('87) that Queen City went 30-something and 3. All 3 losses were to Hughes Springs - 2 in district and then the regional final. Â However, the best BB player out of East Texas was Terry Teagle from Broaddus. The discussion should be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snuffy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Pat Mahomes went pro in baseball out of hs but ask anyone that saw him play hoops at Lindale and they will tell ya he is one of the best ever..He had a full ride offer to go to Arkansas and would have been on the team with Mayberry,Thurman and company. He had an offer to play football at Stanford as well. Amazing hs athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
