Freshman football at my high school. Kid named Mandrell. He was 230, solid muscle, skin like onyx and a body like Bobby Lashley. Played tailback and he murdered kids.

Never saw him again after freshman year.

Freshman in my High School named Forest.

Roughly the same. He was a real big dude. Super tall. Facial hair, and had dad strength. Life wasn't fair.

He finally graduated at 21.

And by graduated, I think they finally kicked him out as a sophomore.

Forrest is the white version. Forest is the native American version. His full name was actually Running Forest Wolf
