Pro Athletes From Your High School

[Dewey2007]

This was inspired by the school jersey thread. What athletes from the three major professional sports (MLB, NFL, NBA) went to your former/current high school. Below is a list of former Jets from my old high school (Encinal High School, Alameda, California).

Without knowing for sure I think Encinal might be the only high school (or one of a very few) to have 4 alumni with World Series rings.

Tommy Harper
Curt Motton
Jimmy Rollins
Willie Stargell
Dontrelle Willis
Melvin Carver
Ray Crouse
Junior Tautalatasi
Isaiah "J.R." Rider

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School

Hi Dewey, that's a pretty impressive list. I went to a very small high school in rural Mississippi, Taylorsville High. The whole list is as follows:

Tim Moffett - WR Raiders
Jason Campbell - QB Redskins
Tim Duckworth - OT Saints

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School

I attended Newtown HS in Elmhurst Queens. Luis Del Los Santos who played for the KC Royals during the late 80's went there too.

My brother-in-law grew up in Washington Heights and actually attended George Washington HS while Manny Ramirez was there too.

Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School

Dixie Hollins High School, St. Petersburg, FL.

The only one I can think of at the moment is Kurt Abbott. Obviously he played baseball there and went on to win a World Series with the Marlins.

Only pro I know of is Wayne Embry - Cincinnati Royals, Boston Celtics, and Milwaukee Bucks. He came to visit our school in 2005 with "The Big O" Oscar Robinson.
