While I'm sitting here watching Lamar hit, I remember doing a story a long time ago about former Nolan Catholic slugger Jordan Foster. Foster put up amazing numbers for the Vikings (and against some bigtime public schools), but the story was about how no college was after him. Art Senato - then coach of the Vikings - said whatever school gets him would get a steal.
Well, Foster ended up at Lamar, and I'd say he did OK - In 2003, he had a .417 average with 96 hits and 71 RBIs. Even crazier - He had 18 strikeouts in 230 at-bats. The following year, Foster hit .363 with 78 hits. He was drafted by Detroit, but ended up with the Fort Worth Cats. -Trae Thompson
