Smoaky Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Longview High School will retire the jersey of former Lobos multi-sport star Bobby Taylor. The ceremony will occur on Friday, October 10th, when the Lobos host Mount Pleasant. Taylor is the first Longview football player to have his jersey (#24) retired. He was also a member of the Lobos state championship basketball team, graduated from Notre Dame, and played ten seasons in the NFL. Bio on Bobby Taylor.

gtee2 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Former high school teammate of mine. Very low-key humble guy. Probably the best athlete to come through Longview sports program. Very much deserving. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Daughters Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Congrats to Mr. Taylor. On a side note. Back, I think in the early 80's there was a female basketball star at Longview (and forgive me cause the name slips me) who went on to play at La. Tech. Does anyone know if she's in coaching or what happened to her?...And would she be a candidate for having her hoops jersey retired?...Another great athlete that came out of Longview.

flanker Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Bobby Taylor was one of the finest high school athletes I've ever watched. He was a great football player but basketball was where he really impressed me. Didn't he have a brother or cousin named Taylor also that played on that basketball team with him?
