Just a thought about Gary Overstreet from his outstanding performances as the Searcy Lions quarterback in 1964 when I was a senior at Little Rock Catholic High.
He was an aerial wizard who had CHS Rockets moving all about trying to contain his passes.
Met his widow at our church, St. James Catholic High, last year and spoke to her kindly about how such athletic memories remain.
She said Gary Overstreet was among the best high school quarterbacks in Arkansas during that...

He was some kind of passing quarterback at Searcy High in 1964. I did some research and Conway and LR Catholic won but not without a struggle.
