I have no one exciting in my school years but my Keets football coach, Chad Hudson, (he's now the defensive coach at Grove High School) has a Super Bowl Ring from the Baltimore Ravens. (I Think!..I KNOW he has the ring, I've seen it, I think it was with the Ravens!)
Not a bad coach either

High School Alum and both friends of my family
Gene Stallings - fmr Alabama, Texas A&M and Dallas Cowboys Coach. I believe he was Head coach for A&M before he was 30 and was also Head at Alabama. He's also been a consultant for several football teams including North Texas and Boise State and is a trustee of Abilene Christian University as well as a member of the Board of Regents for Texas A&M. He's also a crusader for Down's Syndrome and has been on NFL psa's with his son, who has Downs.
Raymond Berry Jr.- Pro Football Hall of Famer, Baltimore Colts, receiver for Johnny Unitas. In his 13 year career he only fumbled once. Funny but when he was in high school he didn't start until his senior year. His coach, Raymond Berry Sr., was coach for the same high school for years - from the 50's until the mid 70's.

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.
