Channing Crowder: Sandy Springs, GA North Springs High School. I'm sure there are others but this is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Alot or all of you may think of this guy as a cocky prick which is understandable. However, when I was around 11 or 12 he would mow the grass at my little league park around mid-day in the summers. He would take breaks and talk to my brother, my mother and I for hours or so. He was one of the most genuinely nice guys I have ever met. I don't care what he ends up doing on the field that makes him look like an arse, my perception of him being great guy will never change.

Bart Starr is from Montgomery and all the others except for Fluker are from Foley. Are you from Foley or Montgomery? Herbert Casey is more famous locally than Lester so why not mention him?
