That was so weird. They had me going for a bit then I searched and found out more of the story. Not sure how I had never heard of that previously. It read like a bigfoot sighting or UFO story but had real players and coaches in it, so I got sucked in.For those who have no clue....

Fozzy Whitaker for Pearland was absurd
Andrew Luck at Stratford looked like an NFL QB as a senior
Sam McGuffie was awesome
Marshall Henderson was fun to watch at LD Bell.
Chase Daniel, Aaron Luna, and Renfro were a fun group to watch in high school.

Steve Needham - Plano late 80’s. QB, led team to 16-0 State Championship when only two teams in each district made the playoffs. No big school/small school bs.
Marcus Stiggers - Lake Highlands early 90’s. QB who ran the wishbone to perfection. Played at Colorado when they were pretty good.
William Cole - Cedar Hill 2000’s. QB, State champion. Probably the best athlete that decade to come out of DFW.
Very. Made it to AA with the Cardinals. Daniel was also pretty solid as well. Some really good baseball in that district. Colleyville had a kid go to Rice as well. His name escapes me right now. Saw him his a home run at Grapevine over the 400’ marker in centerfield.Aaron Luna was pretty good in baseball also.
OkSaw Striggers play Flower Mound Marcus and the Marauders defense shut him down.
Spike Owen should probably be in a Texas HS HOF if there is such a thing. Spike was one of those guys we've all seen over the years. 3 years starting QB, point guard on the basketball team, and of course 3 year starting short stop and pitcher. And, a personable great kid. I'll over look that he went to UT.Saw him play many times for the Mariners while stationed in Seattle area.
Quinn Ewers???
Saw that Willowridge play at state in 2001.Those Willowridge teams were insane.
TJ - Texas
Daniel Ewing - Duke
Kenny Taylor - Baylor
Ivan McFarland - Oklahoma St
High school hoops in the Houston area from 95-2000 was lit.
