You win a hearty congratulations!

Actually, if you are local or can make it to a home game, I sometimes have extra tickets. Let me know!

Judges will accept that as a correct response, though, this is not Jeopardy; no need to express your answer in the form of a question.

Creed is close but not correct. I think Creed was a HS QB but played wide receiver at FU during his freshman year. After his first year he only played basketball. The correct answer is Jimmy Holleman.

I may be wrong, usually am, but I seem to remember Floyd Creed went to Batesburg-Leesville.

Well, if so, then he's probably eaten at Shealey's BBQ. MY 23-year-old self thought is was the best restaurant I'd ever dined at. (However, I might have been swayed by the all-u-can-eat format.)

I think Floyd started out as a QB.

I don't remember that Jimmy Holleman played FB.
