Future Quarterback

This young man was very patriotic in 1971 as he participated in the 4th of July parade in Wakarusa. At this point in his life, no one would have guessed that he would lead his high school football team to a State-Runner up finish and compete with Jeff George to replace Jim Everett in the Cradle of Quarterbacks.

Jim Everett headed for the Los Angeles Rams where he would hand the ball off to Eric Dickerson who later returned to the Indianapolis Colts. Jeff George won the position at Purdue for one year, but then transferred to Illinois.

Can you name this little fellow?

Wow..it is my old friend, Scott Crist. I remember when I saw his tricycle all tricked out like at the parade that he was going to win the competition...and he did. He always won everything. Such a great competitor, even at such a young age.
