Some names on there that my dad talked about in the 30' and 40's. Willie Thrower was a name I remember him talking about. Dad was a 1948 graduate of Turentum who if I recall was undefeated that year and had Bud Carson was on the team.

Shocked that my alma mater was represented at all. I can't say that I have followed them lately but of the 16 players mentioned, only 1 was from the previous millennium. They must be damn good lately because I know they were undefeated in '67 and none of those guys got mentioned.

Thrower went on to play for Michigan State and was the first African-American QB to play in the NFL. My uncle said he could throw the football 70 yards and no receiver could outrun one of his passes.
