All-State Opponent Team

Over the years Oak Grove has faced some of the best football players from across the state. I have put together an "All-State Opponent Team." This is purely for fun and by no means is it the best players that O.G. has faced, but it is something to think about. I basically took every opponent that O.G. has faced and selected all the players on those teams and years that they made "All-State." This entire page is based on the Sports Writer's First Team All-State. I took into consideration...

if that player made multiple All-State teams (offense and defense, different years, etc.)
if that player was MVP on the All-State Team
if the team beat O.G.
if the player had a good game against O.G.
how successful that player's career was.
how successful that player's team was.

Players were counted if they made All-State and played O.G. in the same year. If a player made All-State twice and played O.G. both of those years, it counts as 2.

Oak Grove has faced two All-State MVP's in the same season 7 different times:

1963 - Jimmy Vidrine was the QB of #1 ranked Basile, that played the first playoff game ever in Oak Grove and (Joe or Bo) Wisner of Vidalia.
1964 - Mike Hillman from Lockport and Tony Russell from Tallulah (Hillman was a scrambling QB that could throw the deep ball, like nothing Oak Grove had ever seen.)
1967 - Alfred Beach was selected MVP as an Offensive Tackle and as a Defensive Tackle.
1988 - Chad Loup and Brad Banta from U-High (Only MVP teammates that have faced O.G.)
1996 - Corey Jones from Newellton and Mark Henderson from West Ouachita (Their teams defeated O.G. in back to back weeks.)
1997 - Scotty Lawrence from Pickering and Jerome Pickney from Port Barre (O.G. went on the road to defeat both of their teams, on their way to the state finals.)
2001 - Dimitri Carr from Farmerville and Alonzo Jackson from Haynesville (Jackson was the best high school linebacker I have personally ever seen.)
