View Full Version : Famous high school jersey numbers
Does your school have any famous/popular jersey numbers with a history to it?
What about a number nobody dares to wear? When I moved to my new middle school, for some bizarre reason, #41 was taboo....nobody wanted it....and anyone who ended up with it was considered a big sissy!....I found that to be quite odd behavior amongst my teammates.....no wonder our team stunk!........:thinking:

Sweetwater just begin retiring jerseys a few years ago and there have been two....Sammy Baugh and Clyde "Bulldog" Turner. Baugh was #21 I believe and I don't remember Turner's jersey number.

About 5-6 years ago, Cameron retired the numbers 40 and 65 after 2 boys passed away in a train accident. Jerseys have been framed and hanging in the field house since.

#7 at Everman is retired, it was Corey Fulbright's number...Fulbright was paralyzed in the 2002 state championship game against Burnet
#87 is also retired, it was the number of Craig Boatwright who died of a heart condition during the 2003 season..
Craig Boatwright
October 16, 2003, tragedy struck the Everman (Tex) High School football team. Less than a year after another player, Corey Fulbright, was paralyzed from the neck down after making a tackle in the Class 3A, Division 1 state championship game, 17-year old senior Craig Boatwright collapsed on the school track as he was nearing the end of a two-mile run to work off a punishment for a team infraction. An assistant coach and trainer performed CPR before Craig was transported by ambulance to nearby Huguley Memorial Medical Center, where he pronounced dead less than an hour later from a previously undetected congenital heart condition. A 6 foot-4, 215-pound defensive end on Everman's two-time defending state championship team, Craig was looking forward to playing for the Texas Christian University "Horned Frogs" after graduation. Well-liked on and off the field (he was a candidate for homecoming king the day after he died), Craig was also a standout shot put and discus thrower. At a memorial service in the school's packed gymnasium, coaches and players remembered Craig for his character (he donated his 2002 championship ring for an auction benefiting Fulbright) and his heart. "Even though they're telling us his heart was injured, those of us who knew him know he had a huge heart," said coach Erik McGuffin. "He had a heart made of gold."

Just so happen to be Nelson (40)and Bill Huffman's (65) numbers. Brothers who were both All-State on the State Championship Team.

In the RGV, #41 is the one no one wants. Never heard why, though.

Nothing against those guys, but to me if a number was to be retired for yall it should be Brandon Stewart and/or Jason Bragg. Those guys were the "stars" that put The Ville on the map.
