R.C. Thomas was a beast in high school, but unfortunately got into drugs and ended up in prison for committing a horrendous crime. So sad.

Great list. Where would you rate Steve Bird? R.C. was a beast. Calvin and Rodger were before my time. (Hard to believe)

Steve Bird would be right on the cusp of the top three. It came down to Steve, RC, Greg Taylor, Martin Pennington, Tony Lanham, Corey Reeves, Matt Bargo, Mel Chandler Sr. and Roy Kidd for that #3 slot.

One of his former teammates at Corbin wrote a book about this, "The 1980 Gray Murders".
