It’s interesting what happened to you guys over the years, this current group of Hilltoppers were supposed to be RS’ best team ever, and competitive against anyone. I remember this group being the only team able tonplay Shelby a competitive game in middle school. They were good, and extreme talented, athletic. You smoked everyone, including all of Cleveland County, with the exception of Shelby. We beat you once in the regular season, then in the championship.
You had a young man playing quarterback at that time, he was already 6’2 then, with a rocket arm, and could run like a deer. As you already definitely know, the young man severed part of a finger in a freak accident while fishing. He gave up football, and now stands as a 6’4 freakish athlete who now stars in baseball and basketball at East Rutherford. That young man was destined to be one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, and he headlined a very talented group that was destined to have RS a heck of a team. Just goes to show that you can’t always go by middle school success. That young man gave up football, but what happened to all of that talent that came up along w/ him? There was so much promise in that group.
