All Coug Team from state of WA
- Thread starter grahamcoug
- Start date
Some great names I haven't seen, from the year I became a rabid Coug fan (as a young kid) ......Cardiac Kids of 1965 :
Doug Flansburg at WR
Larry Eilmes at fullback (remember when that was a position? LOL)
Ammon Mc Washington RB ( I THINK he was from this state, not certain?)
You need to bump one of those stiffs to honorable mention and move Dan Lynch to the first team.
That is what I was hoping for as well- some new names of players I don't have memories of. Thanks for the suggestions.
I also forgot Paul Sorenson- db
I also forgot Paul Sorenson- db
Can't really mention 4 Ks between 1st & 2nd team without including Drew Dunning (Liberty).
I knew it would be difficult to determine the difference between a 2nd team and honorable mention player. What I will do is change the 2nd team label to Others to Consider and Remember.

Hanson and Basler are probably the two easiest choices on the whole list.
Beach was a solid player while in college, but blossomed in the pro's. He somehow acquired a better set of hands when he became a pro. Was always a good blocker. Boyd was probably not our best all time WA TE, but you could make a case that he mattered more to the team his last year than any of the others.
Gotta include Parrish on the O line.
Gotta include Doornink somewhere.
Darling moved to Kettle from CA either his Jr or Sr year of HS, so I guess he counts...barely...as a WA kid. Great individual player. But LB is probably as crowded a position as QB, so it is a tough call.
Trufant, Mobley, Gregory.
Finally, I have one that "should have been", and got enough time on the field to show that he might well have made the list, though his life & career were cut short: Spud Harris. Lakes '76.
