The Highland High School gym holds a plaque with all the players who’ve scored a thousand points in their career at the school. Among the players to have done so for the Bulldogs is Sam LaPorta, class of 2019. LaPorta however might be a little more known for his play in the grid iron though, as he plays for the NFL’s Detroit Lions as a tight end. Photo from Dec. 17, 2022.
