Oh man, the Peebles crowd is going to hop all over this one. I'll go ahead and say Marc Kremin to start, because I've got a video clip all ready to go:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDDlQvWLmIo


Marc averaged 20.9 ppg career, 26.5 ppg as a junior, had nine 30-point games, and has 1298 career points in 62 games.

Kayla Cook (all time leading scorer [2012+], NCAA D1 player next year)
Nick Aldridge (two final 4's, 1 state title) 2011 career points
Brett Roberts (NBA and MLB)
Mike Rose - if there was a 3 point line back then... :shock:

other notables, Justin Lower, Eric McClintic , Michael Coriell , Brigham Waginger (transfer from Ironton, broke several defensive records with SW, state title)

Really all I can think of at the moment.

Josh Campbell. He was good, but certainly not the best in school history. He pretty much led the Jeeps back to the regional's single handedly. He could shoot the 3 ball

I watched Ed Spriggs a few times in high school --big boy--his senior year Jackson had a ton of heigth--I think Ed was 6-8 and Thomas was 6-7 and the rest went 6-5-6-3-6-2 for starters.

Ed even played end on the football team

Didn't Jackson have an all league center [1966] by the name of Lawrence Gangridge[spelling?????] Might have been 6-6--He played at Logan up until his sophomore year.

Are you sure Spriggs played on the FBall team ( I dont think so) but Brett (or Brent Thomas did) and I think went to UC Ed had a full ride to U of Miami (Fl) and didnt go. At the time Spriggs was the best Big Man to ever play in this area but he couldnt play with the likes of some of the big men of this day and age Its just a different brand of ball. I once asked Spriggs what his greatest thrill in bball was and he told me it was when he got in Jr. High and his shirt and shorts matched.
