Beyond legend! Hopefully, Joe Don Looney's history will come back to light.

From 1950 to ’53, Hall rushed for 11,232 yards for Sugar Land High School. His senior season was downright ridiculous — he averaged 337.1 yards and 32.9 points a game, also national records. His 4,045 yards rushing that year remain a national record for a 12-game season.

Geesh. Those numbers would even be gaudy in Tecmo Bowl.

Bear Bryant misused him at A$M, and to his credit admitted it later.

The only time my father took me to a football game was when my school "Aldine" played Sugar Land there.
He went to see Hall.

The Fredericksburg Battlin' Billies aren't any slouches either. Fredericksburg has an excellent HS football program, as does Tivy.

Nicknamed the “Sugar Land Express"..."

No, really, they nicknamed him that? Twenty years before the movie? That's wild.

My kids used to attend school there 35 years ago, but the high school was named John Foster Dulles High School. They must have changed the name after this gentleman graduated.

He played varsity all four years, a rare feat nowadays - that's why he won't ever be caught.

Ate at his place once - good BBQ but a bit pricey.

The new owner calls it Cranky Frank's now...

The map's wrong - it's on the south side of town.
