soooo, an "off season thread"....

Conner Stephens when he was at Ackerman and Dicenzo Miller when he was at Weir. Men amongst boys.
Honorable mention is Shane Brassell, pitcher at New Hope.

I refereed several of His games. He was one of the best HS players I saw in my 25 years. Right up there with Marcus Dupree, and Bufurd McGee . Also Freddie Joe Nunn and Omarr Connor.

He was our first baseman, either struck out or hit a homer it seemed. I remember one game either at Amory or Shannon, when the football field met up with the baseball field. He hit a home run that the ball boy picked up at the 50 yard line of the football field, just stupid. He went on to play OL for Auburn and then the Steelers for several years.

I had a cousin that played on Ridley's team in Natchez.

A guy named Lamar Sanders is the only guy from my area to go on and play at a university (Lamar). He's playing pro ball overseas in some country I can't even pronounce. Got looks from OM and FSU at one point, but I guess the small time high school ball held him back. He definitely didn't fit the typical north MS 1A high school stereotype.

The best football player I played with would be Kendrick Hollins. He was a great running back. Not sure why he didn't get recruited harder. The way I understand it, broke his neck the first game he played at Holmes CC. Didn't play after that.
I played with guys that played a while, but he was the best.
Eddie Strong dang near decapitated me on a blind side block on the sideline. Think I landed on the track. Freddie Milons was a hard little cat to catch, also.
