1969: Willie Hall, a 5-10, 180-pound tailback from Clovis, was among high school football stars slated to play in the annual North-South All-Star grid clash.

Hall had been clocked running the 100-yard dash in 9.9 seconds and had agreed to play college football at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales.
