coachc45 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Sabine in the late 70's. Â Or Daingerfield in '77. They where solid at every position and deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 How about Bobby Taylor of Longview? Â How about Red Jones from Gilmer? Man those were some great teams...he and Danko Johnson led them. 3A State Player of the Year in football and basketball...I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunzT Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Do not think you can formulate a girl's list without Stephanie Whitmore of DF on it. Best probably not. As Good.....No doubt. And survived being raised in the Blue Front. Â Played golf with John Beasely several times in DF in the 60's. What impressed me about him as a pro athlete was he never appeared to act better than where he came from. Nice guy. His sister was one of my good friend's stepmom. Linden has a deep history of athletes and musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Over the last thirty some odd years, I remember seeing two particular kids play that when I watched them for the first time I remember thinking to myself that this kid would play for money one day ..... TERRY TEAGLE of Broaddus and CLAUDE RILEY of Crockett .... Riley had another teammate with him at post that was also a handful, but he ended up playing pro football instead.

BunzT Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 When you formulate lists of HS athletes the only standard you can use is how they did once they played at the next level. That is where my classmate Zembra Everett gets overlooked. Nice career at DF where even then FB did not let good BB players develop but set Austin on its ear when he went to St. Edwards. Set several BB conference records and then went on to do it in Baseball, even throwing No Hitters. His brother Warren played on a full ride at Arizona State. Â For the DF guys.........Zembra has moved from Calif. to Phoenix and has enjoyed a successful career in the wholesale liquor business. He remains a neat guy.

TexasPenny Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 1992 Longview Lobos 5A State Champions 6 players went on to play college basketball (not counting a guy named Bobby Taylor who was 5A player of the year but chose another route) Â Think about that for a minute. This team had 2 guys on the bench at all times that were good enough to play in college but weren't good enough to start for their high school team.

GoBigBlue Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would have to go with the 77 Daingerfield Tigers as well. I was a young 7 year old watching these guys with afros out the roof dunking on everyone. 3 of them went on to play NFL. Another went and played for Arizona State in basketball.

Lobo97 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 There are several comments that have been made regarding players that have been mentioned and how they weren't very good in HS so they aren't the best. Well, the title of the thread is, "Best basketball player to ever come out of East Texas"...not to play in East Texas. Â That said, I still stick with David Wesley and re-ask my same question I asked earlier...Is there anyone else to come out of East Texas to accomplish what he did? So far, I haven't seen anyone mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
