Title: Anyone famous ever come from your high school?
Post by: SwifDi on April 07, 2004, 10:15:39 PM
It\'s funny, I was just browsing ESPN.com like I normally do, and reading on the NFL draft... Well we all know Steven Jackson is being labeled as the first pick of the draft, but what you probably didn\'t know, and I didn\'t even know was that he went to Eldorado High School is Las Vegas, NV.

I am still pretty shocked considering how much our football team blows.

And supposedly Jenna Jameson went to my high school too, however I\'m not too sure on it.

^ good to see your school is makin the smarts.

Men at Work. (Famous Aussie band) went to monash Uni With my mother and her brother. They were good friends too.  Apart from that i can\'t think of anyone who has been to my own school. Its only 15 years old. So i doubt theres gonna be anyone famous from it.

I\'m just speaking in general, he\'s going in the first round is my main point.

Jennifer Love Hewitt lived in the same city as I did, and I think at one point she might have gone to the same high school I did, not 100 percent sure though.

I played footbal at Maryvale HS in AZ with Frank Garcia and Darren Woodsen.  Frank was in love with my wife at the time and wrote a little love note in her year book.

Of course to this day she points out that she could be married to a rich football dude instead of a techy nurse!

Or Pro fans...he has been playing really well for the Cavs.

And as for me, there has been no one famous in my highschool at all.  We\'re just boring like that.

I went to elementary school with Chris Thomas, point guard on Notre Dame right now.  I went to the same high school that Edgerrin James and Jonathan Vilma went to.

Right now Im at Indiana University and quite a few people from there are famous, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks.  Antwan Randle El, WR of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Trent Green, QB of the Chiefs, Jared Jeffries player on the Washington Wizards, I could go on...

my school has only had two

Darrell Russel: we all know where he ended up,lol. Hes on the buccs now but hes been charged with rape and having crack so hes basically pissed everything away.

Jelani mccoy: Hes on the cavs now. But I dont think hes even on the bench, but i saw him when he played for the sonics.

But watch for a guy named Floyd North (basketball). He set a bunch of record for our school and is expected to make it to the pros.


Our rival school had both Mark Prior and Barry Zito..so they were basically impossible that year
