Very cool.

Too bad LU was never really able to take advantage of having so much talent in their backyard.

The piece neglected the rest of the Golden Triangle. The voice of John Facenda who died in the eightys who was the voice of NFL films dates the piece. But, it also didn't take into the consideration other players from this area who have succeeded in the NFL.

I give you but a few for your consideration;
Joe Washington - Pt Arthur Lincoln
Matt Bryant - Bridge City High
Jonathan Babineaux - Port Arthur Lincoln
Jordan Babineaux - Port Arthur Lincoln
Garland Boyette - Orange High School
Aaron Brown - Port Arthur Lincoln
Floyd Dixon - Beaumont Bridge City High
Kevin Everett - Thomas Jefferson High (He was the player who was crippled playing for Buffalo and recovered the use of his legs.
Spencer George - Hampshire-Fannett
Austin "Goose" Gonsoulin - Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson
Gary Hammond - Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson
Greg Hill - West Orange Stark
Fulton Johnson - Hampshire-Fannett
Louis Kelcher - Beaumont French High
Bobby Leopold - Port Arthur Lincoln
Reggie Lewis - Port Arthur Lincoln
Jason Mathews - Bridge City High
Leland McElroy - Beaumont Central
Reggie McElroy - Beaumont Charlton-Pollard
Tim McKyer - Port Arthur Lincoln
Frank Middleton - Beaumont West Brook
Wayne Moore - Beaumont Charlton-Pollard
Marcus Price - Port Arthur Lincoln
Eugene Seale - Jasper High and Lamar University
Kevin Smith - West Orange-Stark
Ben Wilkerson - Born Port Arthur, Hemphill High

This is but a sample of the Golden Triangle representatives that have played or are playing in the NFL.

For NFL coaches from the area you could add Bum Phillips and Jimmy Johnson.
