Coach Billy Laird was a quarterback at La Tech. Coach Chick Childress earned his masters degree from La Tech. Unfortunately, Tech wasn't Division I-A until 1989, and wasn't pulling 3+ star recruits until after RHS' heyday.
Tech was I-A for Johnny Robinson's entire career (1977-80) after moving up in 1975. Matt Dunigan's career is counted as I-A since 1982 was the only year he played in I-AA.
