No one. My high school fricking sucked at every sport.

The only notable athlete to ever come from my school is Rick Honeycutt, he's the pitching coach for the Dodgers. He was way before me though.

Few guys I went to school with played minor league baseball and college football. Think that's about it.

We had quite a few. One guy started for three years at OLB and was a very good player for a Big Ten program. An Olympic swimmer. NCAA champion runner. Lots of guys who played D-1 football and baseball. Not while I was there but shortly thereafter, another guy is doing very well on the PGA tour.

No brainer for my HS in the 90s.
I had a locker next to her my freshman year


And
I gave him ONE ride to school his freshman year(his mom was behind us on Siegen Lane and saw me and another passenger "passing a cigarette" in the front seat).

Chris Markey maybe. Some of our other teams actually did better, so maybe there were better athletes in stuff like soccer or baseball. I'm not sure. I don't remember any names.

Russ Springer. Played baseball at LSU and in the majors, and was a hell of a high school basketball player.

Guy who went on to play defensive back in the NFL. The amazing thing is he wasn't head and shoulders above several other teammates. We had some stud athletes.
