6'2" 237 Center for a really big HS in MN, I was behind a guy that went on to play for the Bronco's, so I didn't start varsity until my Jr. year.
What position did you play in HS?
- Thread starter wartknight
- Start date
WR for a 4A school. I was decent but didn't play much. I was a lot better at rugby, where I was all-state my JR and SR years.

I went to the US Amateur tourney yesterday. Makes me hate my parents for not getting me into golf when I was a young kid. GRRRR
It would be fun to be as good as some of those kids.

Two-year starter at offensive tackle for a 4A school. We made it to the semifinals of the playoffs my senior year and I was a 2nd-team All-Stater. Never really had the work ethic that some of my teammates did, but I still had the opportunity to play in college at a Division II school (or a number of Division III's) with some FCS interest too. Turned it down because I was tired of football, so I came to ISU instead and just pursued an education.
Looking back, I wonder what could have been different if I had put more work in during high school. I wonder if I will regret it more later.

Woulda been a 3-year starting QB on the football team (2A) if I wouldn't have quit for cross country after junior high... Didn't want to get hurt for basketball and golf, my favorite sports.
XC: 4 years varsity, but hated running with a fiery passion. Highlight was running my best 5k time in my last race as a senior.
Basketball: 3 years varsity, started senior year at SG... Am 6'1", 170, average ball-handler, but good three point shooter. Highlight was making 5 threes in the fourth quarter of one game, and making a 3/4 court shot in a game that we ended up winning by 2
Golf: 4 years varsity, 3 time state qualifier... 2 time conference medalist (freshman, senior), and got 10th at state individually my senior year.
I recommend golf to EVERY high school kid that can get their hands on a set of clubs

What?! When did this happen?
Apparently they did away with it in 1989. As far as I can tell, Iowa is still the only state in the union with out it.

Was it Ben Hamilton? I don't remember if he grew up in MN, but I know he was an All Big Ten guy and played for Denver.
