Those are just the ones off the top of my head. Click that link and you can search by team.
That's where McCann, Francouer, Hayward, etc played too.
I played when I was 16-18 in 96-98 and played with and against Patterson, Boyer, Keppinger, etc.
Patterson was THE best baseball player I've ever seen in person. Maybe 5'11", 180, but could absolutely crush a baseball. And had speed too. He tagged and scored from 3rd on a short fly ball in the grass behind the shortstop against us one game. Just unbelievable skills for an 18 year old.

Didn't see any great football players in High School, but I did see Caleb King sit over in our stands when we played GAC. His leg was broken he looked like an absolute man child though.
Caleb was in beast mode at Parkview... No doubt

Ryan Perrilloux...a pleasure to watch.

I've seen a lot of great ones in N. Louisiana but I've gotta call it a three way tie for best. Robert Lane of Neville High School, he always looked like the biggest, strongest kid on the field, Marcus (pronounced Marshay) Green played mostly corner at Ole Miss but was a fearsome running back at Bastrop, Randall Mackey of Port Sulphur/Bastrop was three-time MVP of the 4-A championship game. Odd how all three ended up at Ole Miss.

i was lucky to watch dalton hilliard in high school run all over i think opelousas catholic. i could not believe just how he would just runover people or juke them out of their shoes. It was just awesome to watch him.

also saw Tanna Patrick...my 6'2" 320 lb cousin played against him...went in to stop him on a running play and said it was like hitting a brick wall...
I saw him play several times and always came away unimpressed. Athletically and physically he was in a league of his own but he only played hard about 1 out of every 10 snaps. AJ Matthews was the best player on that NJ team but being 5'8 and 230 kept the big schools away.
Football- Tana Patrick LB NJHS now at Bama and Howard Cross TE New Hope, Alabama and NY Giants
Basketball- Warren Kidd played at MTSU and the 76ers
Baseball- Rusty Greer Albertville retired OF Tejas Rangers
