I loved when Lester and Bettis were on the Steelers. That's when they truly were a power running team. I never get to see any of these players play at my alma mater. I live in a farming community in the middle of nowhere and no one ever makes it to the NFL from my school. That's pretty cool that you got to see an NFL football player play in the high school.

Should have clarified, it was my college alma mater.  For a smaller school, there have been quite a few NFLers over the years come out of here.  Some decent to good, some backups, and some practice squad players.  Tim Lester was fun to watch.....he was in a backfield tandem with a guy named Marcus Thomas that was a blazer, Lester was the bruiser, but he had speed of his own back then.  He really bulked up to play FB in the NFL.  Hell, The Bus made him part of the trade deal from LA to Pitt, he thought so highly of him.

Fun fact, John Ross broke Rondell Menendez's 40 record at the NFL combine, who played here years after Lester.
