I lived just a few blocks away when this happened.

I miss Chicago.

I didn't get to play with this guy, but he was on my high school baseball team. I think he graduated a year or two before hand.

I also played football with the former quarterback or OU or the great bob stoops school.

Any way Kerry Wood played at mac Arthur before he went to Grand Prairie. That area of schools produced a lot of good athletes, but alas there is always politics. The thing to do then was to hold your sons back a year so that they would be physically ahead of all the other male children in the district.

So any rumors you may have heard about football or baseball in texas they are probably true. Midland Odessa, Odessa Permian, Abeline Cooper, Collyville Heritage. Those are some of the big named schools that are known for their sports, and their lopsided Jock Mentality. Collyville Heritage was barred from the playoffs because they were caught with about 45% of their athletes using a anabolic steriods. Now the big school is in Irving, the next to largest district in the metroplex.

For me highschool ruined American Sports for me, and that is why i took up martial arts. BUT! I love Hockey! Because they didn't offer that at my School! I think about it now and i wished i would have had a chance to play.
