Highland Park

We have the state 4 A champion next door. Are we going to get anybody off that team. Looks like most of the stars have already commited to other schools.

The linemen 77 looks pretty big. HP had some real smuf looking receivers.
The QB would be nice
Both are on full-ride 'ships to UofD for lacrosse. Their grandfather coached my YMCA football, basketball and baseball teams at Robert S. Hyer Elementary in 5th and 6th grade. We were undefeated in all 3 sports in 6th grade. Their father, Mark, was our QB. We rocked.Phil_Bennett's_Mustache wrote:the smurfs you speak of are John and Charlie Dickenson. they're 5'7" 155 lbs twins. i know one of them has a full ride to the University of Denver for Lacross. i can't recall if they're both playing D1 Lacross or not. they can motor and are excellent athletes, just not big enough for college football.

Here is a pic of our 5th grade YMCA team from Robert S. Hyer with the names of the players listed below:
front row (l. to r.): Ed Gilliland, Rick Myers, Robert Hurst, Bob Dickerson, Terry Webster; back row (l. to r.) Brian Morschower, Rick Roehrig, Mark Dickenson, Matthew Nancaro. head coach Mr. Dickenson. ***Note the practice helmet in front of Hurst...red SMU helmet with the 1960s era Mustang on the side!***
Now here's a pic of our 6th grade YMCA team from Robert S. Hyer:
front row (l. to r.): Robert Hurst, Bill Blocker, Kyle Izakson, Bob Dickerson, Dan Marshall; back row (l. to r.) Rick Roehrig, Ed Gilliland, Jeff Bailey, Mark Dickenson. head coach Mr. Dickenson
Terry Webster (a fine person and now a minister!) was 'traded' for Jeff Bailey, son of former Highland Park head football coach and athletic director Herman Bailey...at least that's what we've all been told over the years. Izakson, Blocker and Marshall joined the team when Meyers, Morschower and Nancaro transferred to other schools.
Members of the 6th grade team who went on to be members of the Highland Park Scots football team in 1973 and 1974 were Blocker, Izakson, Dickerson, Roehrig, Bailey and Dickenson.
