I was the manager of my HS Basketball team...... we played against Lester Earl. He was phenominal...... our team took them to triple OT the night before LSU blew a 41 point lead to Kentucky. Rick Petino and Dale Brown watched the game sise by side in Glen Oaks gym.

Evryone agree it was the State Championship Game, to bad we played them in the 3rd round of the playoffs.

ETA; Kevin Faulk, although I had nothing to do with the football team we played against them in 93-94 his Jr & Sr. Year

I played with 2 very good basketball players in High School. Austin Nichols who had an extremely good game against LSU for Memphis earlier this year. I also played with Leslie McDonald who plays for UNC right now. The best we ever played against would have to be Lance Stephenson in some tournament in Florida. I never ever got to go up against him directly, but Barrett Jones would be up there for football.

The most impressive athlete though has to be Greg Hardy, who plays D-end for the Panthers. He came back in practiced with our basketball team and his athleticism was just scary. He would jump and grab a rebound at the top of the backboard with ease.

Josh Beckett. 1-0 lifetime record against.

I also played baseball against Drew Brees but I don't know if that counts since it's his off sport.

Played against Eddie Lacy 4 years straight and Eric Reid 3 years. Not fun. No one was close to them.

Ben Selman. RB/MLB, CF/3 hole hitter, could play any position on the court before he quit to focus on football and baseball. Lacked size to play d1

Yes.... he was a freshman.
This was Kenny Maryland Sr. year and Juan Stewards Jr year.

Kenny hit a shot from the 5 second line to send it to OT.

Against:

Butler By'note

His team beat us in playoffs, we nearly crippled him on a Kick off return, i hit him low and he flipped onto his helmet.

Had to go to the Hood to play them, dirt field, 4 inch chalk lines, game closed to public, and drug dealers finding their way in, and threatening to kill us on our side of stands. Ah, the public high teams and the PHL!

Also, forgot about Kelly Thames in basketball, he was Mo player of year and a really good player for Mizzou. Dude scored at will against us.

Played on the same HS team as Chris Conley, WR at Georgia. He was a baller for us

Played against Brian Randolph, Safety at Tennessee. He popped me a few times when we played him. He's really athletic.

Went to football camp with AJ Johnson, MLB at Tennessee. He had pretty terrible work ethic but he was a man amongst boys. He was a cool dude and I'm glad to see him do well in college

Went against Eddie Lacy and Eric Reid every year. Dallas Thomas, Brandon Bolden, and Herman Lathers. Janzen Jackson. Prentiss Waggner(did way better than i expected he would in college).

Didnt play bball, but my 2 best friends did and i always went to their games. Watched them play against Greg Monroe. Didnt look like he did anything impressive. Stat sheet was like 36 and 16 haha.

Wilfred Journet was the most dominating player i played against. From Acadiana. He single handily beat us in the semi finals of playoffs. Was a monster. Had grade issues and dont think he made it to D1 ball. Wonder what hes doing now...

I was actually matched up against Lacy and Bolden 1on1 when we played them. Lacy was the type of player that you would go to tackle and he would just slip off of you and you had no idea how. Bolden would just lower his head and flat out crush you. Plus, he ran behind Dallas Thomas, who was like 6'7 300 in high school and a 3rd round pick in the draft last year. And Herman Lathers was all over the field on D. I was very tired after playing that game
