Mt Rushmore

[coach]

Since there is a debate about Texas' Mt Rushmore i think we should do a City Mt. Rushmore. Who Is the top 4 for your cities' Mt. Rushmore?

[wildstangs]

I guess I should ask IHSstangs approval before I participate this time around. Wouldn't want him to get offended by my opinion.

Grow up kid, I'm guessing you probably weren't even old enough to follow sports when Nolan Ryan was in his prime (hell...even into his Ranger days)...so it wouldn't be fair to expect you to have anything BUT a bias opinion based on what you've been around to see. But...just for the record....Vince Young accomplishments pale in comparison to Nolan Ryan....just in case you had forgotten.

if you're creating these for your city, are you talking about high school accomplishments or do you count pro careers?

Forney has a couple of players in MLB right now, and one quarterback in the NFL.

both...like maybe he had a great career but didnt go pro you can count him or you can count someone who maybe didnt have the best career but worked his way into the colege level

Fairfield my 4 would be this...

Tony Brackens- Pro Bowler for the Jags after playing for UT and lead us to the quaterfinals in football and the regional semis in basketball his senior year. Many say he was the most dominating high school player they saw.

Winfred Tubbs- Also went to the quaterfinals in football when he played and he went on to play for the Saints and 49ers in the NFL.

Nanacen sp? Perry- Lead us to our only team state championships in girls track in the early 90's and set many school records and maybe a few state in the process. She went on to medal in the Olympics in 2000. Also a good basketball player.

Choicetta McMillian- Led us to the playoffs in volleyball and started 4 years in girls basketball and led the Lady Eagles to the playoffs every year. In her 4 years the team was well over 20 wins every year and pretty much single handedly led us to the Regional Final to only lose on a buzzer beater last year. She know plays for Hampton in Virginia.

Nolan Ryan is the one who never brought a world series title to Texas. I think his goal was to pitch a no hitter every other year. Who cares about championships when you can pitch a no hitter.

Teams win championships not one player....so one possible reason he didnt win one in Texas is because the team overall were average even though he is the best pitcher

So, following your argument, would you put Sophia Young in over Nolan Ryan?

No I didnt. The Black Hills are beautiful. Home of the Sturgis Rally. I rode my Harley thru the Badlands and thru Custer State Park with Buffalo roaming wild.
