Re: Pro Athletes From Your High School

I graduated from Tecumseh High School in New Carlisle, Ohio:

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.

One more thing...I played against Justin Masterson in high school and I'm looking for one of his Red Sox jerseys. Let me know if you have one...murfsteve25@yahoo.com

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.

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

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

[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
