I graduated from Whitehouse in 96 and we were usually pretty shitty. Good football played in East Texas though. I haven’t been to a high school game since 2003 but a few players stood out: Rickey Dudley (TE/Henderson) - First elite player I ever saw when I was still in middle school. Went to tOSU and first round pick. Probably could have played college basketball too. McCown brothers (QB/Jacksonville) - Best QB’s in our little area I ever saw live Damione Lewis (DT/Sulphur Springs) - Played at Miami (Fl) and first round pick. Nearly decapitated one of my friends on a blind side block on a punt return. My friend actually bounced up and walked towards the wrong end of the field before his dad ran out of the stands to stop him. To this day, I think he still has a concussion. Ja’mar Toombs (RB/Pine Tree) - He was just a sophomore when I was a senior but I remember him seeking out our DB’s and our guys were running away from him. Pretty sure he had 300+ that night. Brandon Pettigrew (TE/Tyler Lee) - I grew up with and around a lot of the Pettigrews. Several of them probably could have gone further than they did... Adrian Peterson - last high school game I attended. Whitehouse might have had 30 guys on the entire roster. Held him to 189 yards and three TD’s in the first half.
