Any famous sports figures or movie stars come from your local high schools?

Lavar Arrington went to high school about 20 minutes from my house. He played running back, linebacker, and punter at North Hills High. In one game against my school, he rushed for like 300 yards. He was attempting a punt from his own endzone, the snap was bad so he took off for a 90+yard TD run. It was amazing.

Now, that would be telling, wouldn't it? Anonymity is half the fun of the internet. Send me an email if you'd like.

Pimpy:

This is kind of weird. I graduated with Ralph, and we still hang out on occasion. (We see each other 2-3 times a year.) Really cool guy, but is not involved in baseball at all anymore.

------------------
I got nothing.

 

I came to UOP the year after Olowokandi graduated.

Don't come in Bullard's house!

 

Hey,

This is pretty fun. Here is a list of people
who went to my school:

The two singers from Hootie and the Blowfish went to my HS. And in college, the Muppets dude, damn, I can't remember his name, ummm....Hansen? Steve Francis, Walt Williams, T-Mass. Maury Povichs wife, Connie something. Thats all I can think of....

Rockit

AHHH - remembered the name ... Jim Henson :-D

Jim Henson?

------------------
Stay Cool...

 

RunninRavin,

Little league football. I was in forth grade.

------------------

 

Justin Thompson and Kevin Hodges are the only ones that I can think of... and Vega.

When I say Klein, you say Oak...

The Badministrator

 

okay he's not famous yet. but look for him to go pro. Sparky Hamilton. I also have two friends who have a 3 handicap in golf at age 13. So look for them to become at least semi-pro

 

not possible...there is no email address associated with your name..

rocketspimp also went to bellaire class of 93

------------------
I think people are forgetting that we are the rockets...

WE DONT REBUILD...WE RELOAD....remember that..

 

Heeeeeey!! He said famous people, but he listed Joseph Blair in his post. I figured we were bending the rules a bit.

P.S. Etan, Wayman, and Amber(MTV, in case you didn't know), are kinda famous. Lee Mayberry was once a Rocket!(for like two minutes, but still..)



------------------
Ugh, Another Rockets off-season....I'm gonna need a keg
of Pepto-Bismol.

 

I made it available. Didn't even realize it wasn't! ----> tvsbill@hotmail.com

Its a small world isn't it?

------------------

 

grummett, you went to Bellaire too?? When?

I played ball with Cruz Jr. and practiced in the offseason with Knoblauch. Jeff Devanan(sp?) had a breif stint last year with Minnesota. I remember Kelly Wunsch from my freshman year. Ralph Garr was in the Braves minor league system. There are at least 10-20 others during my 4 years there that did time in the minors.

SamCassell, I was also c/o '93 with sirhangover, like I see he already said.

BTW, referring back to the post about the girl in Playboy that I dated...she went to Bellaire too.

------------------
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.

Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
