Three NFL players from a tiny town of 300? Meet the Bassfield Boys

HOUSTON -- On Sept. 1, there was a celebration during a Jefferson Davis County High School football meeting when coach Lance Mancuso and his staff found out cornerback Cornell Armstrong had signed with the Houston Texans, one day after being released by the Miami Dolphins.

There were cheers not just because one of Mancuso’s former players had signed with another NFL team, but because he was joining one of his best friends and fellow Bassfield High School alum A.J. Moore, a safety.

“The Bassfield Boys are back together again,” Mancuso said.
