Mine would be Randy Livingston from Newman.

Dropped 37 against my team. Did whatever he wanted.

Any good stories?

PLayed against the five star QB Xavier Lee.

Personally though, I thought he was a bit overrated. He had two insanely good receivers and he literally just threw deep to them most of the game. They were tall and just not really coverable by our team. He was insanely hard to bring down though. Dude ran all over us.

Either way. Was the only four or five star I think we played in the two years I played at Westport.

Probably Michael Clayton who actually didn’t have particularly strong games in football or basketball.

He clearly became a superstar in college and had an incredible rookie season but he didn’t look like a future star those days.

For actual performance, I would say Big Baby Davis was dominant and more so in football than basketball. Does anyone else remember him running the ball at 330 pounds?

Brandon Johnson Alma Bryant high school.

The guy was about 220 pounds (guessing ) and was the tailback and free safety on defense.

The absolute worst to try and tackle this guy.

He ended up blowing out his knee during the Alabama - Mississippi all star game but still ended up playing fullback at Auburn down the road. Blocked for Cadillac and Ronnie Brown in 2002-2003 if I remember right.

Gerald Green - basketball

One of the first people I've ever seen throw it off the shot clock and then windmill it.


Joe Mcknight - football

Pretty sure he beat our team by himself in the 4A state championship

I saw him play at a jamboree my school played in, and we would have faced him in the LHSAA playoffs but we promptly got our asses kicked by Kinder in the first round

My HS football team beat LeVeon Bell’s our senior year 51-7. He was probably the best player overall on the field on either side, but it wasn’t “without a doubt”, and I actually thought he was a better OLB than RB, at least that night. There’s a reason that OSU didn’t offer him despite being 20 minutes from Columbus, and MSU was a late offer after the season; he only had MAC offers at that time we played.

It’s funny if you look up his HS highlight tape on YouTube compared to, say, Adrian Peterson. Night and day.
