I know some of you guys played high school and college baseball, so who were some of the future SEC stars you played against? We knocked heads with a few that stand out. Probably the most rounded talent was Pete Young from Mccomb who went on to become a star at State. He was a year older than me, but we played against each other from Little League all-stars until he graduated. He could hit it and pitch it, and was as good as anyone I ever seen at 3rd base with the leather. He pitched 14 innings over three days to win the state championship his senior year. Tracy Echols from NW Rankin was another great one that played at State. He hit the furthest home run I ever saw hit in high school to this day. The best hitter we ever faced actually never played college baseball, but ended up making all SEC on both offense and defense at Ole Miss, and then had a pretty good career in the NFL. That was Wesley Walls and he was a man child that could literally crush a baseball. I was only a sophomore his senior year at Pontotoc and he played first base. He was 6'5" and was 245 lbs, batting in the lead off spot. We pitched to him four times in three games and he hit three home runs and a GR double. I remember reading his high school stats in the Ole Miss football program his freshman year and he hit 17 hr's his senior year, despite getting walked 45 times. He had his hair dyed bleach blonde like the West coast boys, but he could walk the walk.

Not SEC related but I played against Madison Bumgarner. Easily the toughest at bat of my life. Got a foul tip but that was all she wrote.
