EH31 2,526 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I heard there was a guy last year from Grayson County that played for MIT. I know that isn't on topic, but pretty cool for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 this isint directed at anyone in particular but I dont think people in general realize how hard it is to make a D-1 roster, it really does take a special player, he must have talent for sure but the work ethic required is unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you have a high school that has 1000+ people and consistently fields a reasonably good football team, it's just a pinch surprising that nary a player has stuck on a roster at a place like W&M, Richmond, etc. in the last 30 years.

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 true. Desire has alot to do w/ it. Haysi has fielded some pretty good teams but not alot of college players at any level, they just dont want to go to college. There are alot of factors that go into it(im sure you all know that), it is kinda suprising tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballer 10 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Doug Reavis played at Emory & Henry as DB & Punt Returner. Still holds records for punts returned, & interception return yards. He played there from 1986-1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
