Bill McColl, Reggie Bush, and Herb Meyer were San Diegans among the names of 100 players and 13 coaches entered into the initial California High School Football Hall of Fame class, news outlets are reporting today (August 15).
McColl, whose son John has been a steadying influence during interim periods in the La Jolla High football program, and whose grandsons, David McColl (Class of 2013) and Daniel McColl (Class of 2017), have been important members of the Viking football program in the past decade, matriculated at Hoover High and went on to play for the Chicago Bears in the NFL for eight years.
We all know Bush, the running back/all-purpose player who starred at Helix High and USC before playing in the NFL.
And lastly, Meyer coached football at El Camino High in Oceanside (long before this reporter's time in San Diego). His name frequently comes up in accounts of greatness and heritage among football programs in San Diego County.
Who are some other names you would recommend for succeeding classes for the Hall of Fame in coming years?
