Sweet pic! I think we need Aeneas to break down what kind of lid Jefferson was wearing at Ridgemont back in '82...

Suicide...did Forrest make faces like this when you were blocking him back in the day??

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School

I went to POBJFKHS

The last time we were even close to a championship in NY football, Joe Namath was playing. I'm not saying we were uncompetitive but we wouldn't let girls join the team for fear of becoming bigger and more physical.

Marc Iavaroni was our sole pro athlete and he is most known for being yet another unknown coach for the Memphis Grizzlies.

When I become rich and famous then some other guy can post how inept our school was but at least the genius known as the GinGi graduated from there.
