looking for athletes that made marks at the next two levels that are from here. I'm not looking for guys that were just great in H.S. but those that made major marks in the next levels.
We know Thomas, Julius and Heath Miller are the guy now.
Who else in the past. JJ Kelly had a pitcher make a name in the Majors. things like that .
Calvan Talford (castlewood) make some huge marks in basketball in college and Pro-Ball overseas.

Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I believe Reecie Gravely from Burton was in the CFL. Man that dude was a beast!

Yes, Reecie was in the CFL and he was a beast. In practice having to hit him every week was the hardest hit's I ever took from anyone, besides the beast of a running back at St Paul names Bennie Burrell
