Bobby Ray Tell from Haynesville

He was one of the best in HS for sure. One year I went to the Haynesville/Evangel game. It was before Evangel went to 5A but they were still really good and both Josh and Abram were playing. Haynesville was running all over the place. It was a packed crowd so me and a friend were watching the game standing behind the end zone fence. There was this ECA fan, all decked out from head to toe with ECA gear, he was practically irate by the time Tell scored his third TD. He's yelling at the Haynesville team, "Why don't y'all pass the ball!!! Y'all can't even pass!!!" My friend looks over and says to the guy, "I don't think they're too concerned about passing until y'all stop em from running." Tell had something like 6 carries for 179 and scored on a punt return. They won. I know, CSB.
