Before I throw out the Sunday FW Star Telegram, from it. Thomas in HS told everyone he transferred from White Deer to Pampa for "better academics", then admitted he thought he had a better chance at a scholarship at a D1 college at a bigger school.
"The opening practice (at Pampa), the head coach held a tackling dummy in a drill. Thomas hit it so hard the coach stumbled backwards and fell into a bordering street. His glasses broke. His nose was scraped. He was bleeding. He was thrilled by this player."
