All Coug Team from state of WA

[grahamcoug]

I thought this would be interesting and fun. Not intended to alienate all our great coug alums, fans, and players from other awesome places. Could have easily and might still start a different thread of an all Coug team from California or other places. The player suggestions should have played all or some high school ball at a WA high school.

Suggest as many players as you like. To start with.....

Mike Utley- offensive line

 

[kougkurt]

Chris Dyko. Offensive Line

Dyko was a good man - but your first team offensive line has to include Danny Lynch from Lewis & Clark. TWO time participant in the senior bowl and First Team All American. WSU Hall of Fame. NFL career cut short by illness.

Your receivers include Don Ellingsen from John R. Rogers High. Also WSU Hall of Fame.

Bud Roffler from LC will be one of your running backs. WSU Hall of Fame. NFL career.

Kid named Gleason from Gonzaga Prep was a pretty good linebacker/special teams, too. You may have heard of him. WSU Hall of Fame. NFL career

Yarno played defense at WSU then switched to offensive line in the pros. But I could live with him on the DLine. NFL career.

Bill Gaskin DB - Lewis & Clark - also WSU Hall of Fame.

 

[95coug]

Ron Childs, LB, Kamiakin (Kennewick)
Jeremy Bohannon, S, Richland
Jason McEndoo, OL, Aberdeen

(I don't remember any other safeties from WA)

 

[79COUG]

Pat Beach...Pullman and a long time Colt. Hell of a nice guy too

 

[COUGinNCW]

Pat, is that you?

 

[PeteTheChop]

Jack Thompson, QB (White Center Evergreen)
Mark Rypien, QB (Shadle Park)
Timm Rosenbach, QB (Pullman)
Connor Halliday, QB (Ferris)
Clete Casper, QB (Issaquah)

Lot of good choices at that position

 

[COUGinNCW]

What’s the back story on Dan Lynch playing in 2 senior bowls? Did they confuse him with his brother?

 

[79COUG]

Pat, is that you?

Lol...no. But I did line up across from him in the playoffs in hs. It was like hitting a tree trunk...

Got an extra year granted due to medical.

I believe Bob Garman had a similar situation.

Are you an old Frontier League guy or a Middle Valley er?

 

[grahamcoug]

Other offensive linemen to consider-
Cory Withrow- all conference selection
Josh Parrish- all conf
Cody O’Connell- all conf
Calvin Armstrong-all conf
Kenny Alfred- all conf
Josh Dunning- all conf
Cole Madison- all conf
Joe Dahl- all conf

Are you an old Frontier League guy or a Middle Valley er?

Mid Valley...Eastmont. Played PHS in the Apple Bowl in 77. #1 vs #2. We were up 10-0 at half. Lost 13-10.
Yes, I'm still pissed...

 

[grahamcoug]

It seems the running back position has the smallest pool to choose from.
We have Ben Roffler and Dan Doornick. Logwone Mitz was from Redmond.

Correction Bud Roffler

Brandon Gibson, WR, Rogers (Puyallup) HS

 

[CougPatrol]

Honorable Mention: Jared Karstetter

Cursed with the worst QB play in WSU history. Would have been great in this offense.

What about Delton Johnson?

 

[SDCoug]

I always liked CJ Davis. Another Curtis guy.
