Last "great" player I remember from Pine was a gentleman by the name of Will Baker (running back). I watched him play one night (at Pine) and he ran through the opponents defense like a man possessed! Must of ran for over 300 yards that night. He was short and stout and mean as a bull. Early 1970's for anyone with any recollection. I was a youngster and yes he was a relative (cousin). Still lives in N. La.

That's an understatement. Although, Pine usually resembles a JV squad, itself. The lesser 5A teams on the Northshore that want to boost their totals in the win column usually schedule one of the two teams in predistrict play to tune up.

However, Derrick Dillon is the real deal. A man among boys, for sure.
