I’ve mentioned this on the board many times. I went to Huntington with Joey and Terry. Joey was Mr. HHS because he was very popular. He was friendly and mostly quiet. Work ethic was questionable at that time but he was a freak. He could have easily started at safety for Arnsparger while at LSU but he knew that his future was in baseball. I know he has a different reputation now but I’ll always remember him as that guy.

From Wikipedia:
He attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.[1] Belle attended Huntington High School in Shreveport, where he was a star baseball and football player, a member of the National Honor Society and vice president of the local Future Business Leaders of America.[3] He graduated sixth in his high school class and made the all-state baseball team twice.[1] In 1984, he was selected to play for the US in the Junior Olympics, in which the U.S. won a silver medal.[citation needed] He played outfield and pitched, winning one game.

This account of his early life suggests that he was impressive in many ways. Sad to see the struggles he has had throughout his adult life
