Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert here. Well, kind of. He was a catholic school kid thru grade school and most of high school, but he couldn't handle the academic rigors so he transferred and graduated from his local public school. He didn't have to go to class there, I don't think.

I figured you would've gone with Max Choboian

I don't think I can really say for certain who is the most famous from DeMatha so I'll categorize it and let you decide...

TV- James Brown(CBS Football/60 Minutes) or David Aldridge(ESPN/TNT/Philadelphia Inquirer)

Movies- Clifton Powell(Chauncy from Menace II Society is my personal favorite)

Publishing- Jim Nelson(Editor in Chief of GQ Magazine)

NBA- Adrian Dantley(HOF) or Danny Ferry. Probably going to end up being Markelle Fultz who is projected as the #1 2017 pick

NFL- Brian Westbrook(Eagles) or Cam Wake(Dolphins)

Nascar- Coy Gibbs(Joe Gibbs Racing)

Lacrosse- Paul Rabil( Michael Jordan of lacrosse)

Track- Derick Mills(Olympic Gold Medalist)

A Regis boy!

In no particular order,

  • Obama's momma
  • Quin Snyder (Duke/ Utah Jazz, famously ex Mizzou)

Obama's momma was in 1st graduating class about 25 years ahead of me -- I was a bit ahead of Quin, but knew him well -- his dad was AD and we played some all-star baseball together

I'm sure most folks would say "Willie Robertson" of Duck Dynasty for West Monroe, he recently was honored as "distinguished Alumni"

But I would argue :

Jim Hasell - Astronaut and Space Shuttle Commander

Chuck Finely - Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels

Andrew Whitworth - Cleveland Browns

Bradie James - Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans

Jerry Stovall - Heisman runner-up at LSU and 2nd overall pick in 1963 NFL draft

Barkevious Mingo - Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots

and me  ;)

We Are West Monroe High School
