Jasper's Derick Armstrong

[Hupernikomen]

I just found out he is playing for the Texans. I didn't know that. I didn't even know where he went to college until I read his profile (Ark. Mont.) He seems to off to a good start for the Texans. Boy he was a speed burner in high school. Not quite as fast as Blanton was but he was really fast. I wonder what ever happened to the other Armstrong kid, Lance I think it was?

He made a big time catch in today's game to help set up the game winning field goal for the Texans. I believe his older brother's name is Lawerence. I don't think Lance Armstrong is related! ;)

I dunno about Lance... Heard they're making a chopper for him on American Chopper..,.

Lawrence went to a JC, then to Univ of Texas for his last two years. I think he did well in the conference those two years, but I lost track of him after that. I kept watching for him to show up at the Olympics, but it apparently was not to be. :(

By the way, Brent Hafford was said to be at New Orleans, but I have not verified that.

Lawerence that's right. He was the speed demon of the two. World class speed. Neat to see the local boys contributing. Been quite a few in the last several years. Ben Bronson, Zach Bronson, Jon Davis, Derick Armstrong, who else?

which one was the sprinter who would have ran at the 4A state meet. He was fun to watch.

I tried hard to find his times in the archives on TexasTrack.com but he doesn't go back that far. He ran meets all over, Cal., TX. etc. He was fast.
