Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas. Class of 2000

Some of our notable athletic alums include

the star-crossed Glendon Alexander, basketball player and once upon a time NBA prospect.

Lazerius White, offensive lineman for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Adam Kessler, who held some kind of passing record for 5-A football. Can't remember what, though.

The Fightin' Trojans.

I was in the Band. Woot.

I'm an old Childress Bobcat......Class of 1960

I am trying to think of anything noteworthy to mention.  I guess the closest any other Bobcat came to fame was David Seals.  David did a little time in the big house for rustling cattle.  The third night in a row that he backed his cattle truck up the the same spot in the same rancher's pasture to "borrow" a few head of cattle he was captured.  Now that takes guts - or no brain.

I think David also played a little BB at WT.

Penn High School, Mishawaka, Indiana - Class of 1963

The Kingsmen. Several state football championships (but not when I played). Called "The University of Penn" by the locals and has an academic reputation to go with its stout athletics. Many alumni have found their way down the road about ten miles west to Notre Dame.

I have personally never regretted coming to Texas to go to college so don't bitch at me...got here as quick as I could!

So yall were really the "The Kingsmen," EagleMBA? If so, that begs the question and (most likely) a very weak attempt at a Norm Hitzghes type dad joke for this slow Monday:

Was yall's school's song:

Louie! Louie! (pronounced 'Lou-eye, Lou-eye aay', of course) ? ? ? ? rolleyes.gifohmy.gifblink.giftongue.gifunsure.gif

Ward Melville High School class of 1978 (Long Island, NY) - named for the man who owned Thom McAnn Shoes, and was a local philanthropist.

The most famous person to come from my high school (that I'm aware of) is the wrestler "Mankind" - his dad was the head of the school's Phys Ed dept.
