Easy.............JERRY GAINES Nope going with EJ (Eric Johnson). Gonna give him the slight edge. If you saw him play in 99 you understand. EJ was 2 time all American in football and drafted in 3rd by the Indians and played on Bears practice squad. Eric was phenomenal |

Danny Tharpe,All Conference Basketball & Football 60's. Danny Tharpe was in the Class of 1964. I do not recall him playing football; certainly not All-North State Conference. 1963 and 1964 yearbooks confirm that he played basketball and baseball. |
