Russ Francis never got a ring with those Niner teams? I thought he played in the same era as Michael Walter.

It turns out that Russ was a 49er between 1982 and 1987, right after the Super Bowl in 1981, and right before the Super Bowl in 1988.

He was on the team that beat the Dolphins in Palo Alto. Marino’s only Super Bowl.

He sure did, Thanks for finding that. I'm pretty sure he's the only Pleasant Hill High School, Oregon, student, to have a Super Bowl ring. 

I knew Fred Quillan and his mom -glad to see he is remembered.

Russ Francis- one of those freaks of nature that every sport he played he excelled in. Does he still hold the state high school  javelin record? My cousin played PG on the varsity basketball team with him. Saw a few games.

I've watched every Super Bowl game, went to 7, including the games these Ducks played in. So, am I happy now? NO!

Sam Crouser set the National High School Record at 255', and his sister Hailey then set the girls National High School Record at 181'. Not taking anything away from what Russ Francis did, 'back in the day.' Oregon is the center of Track and Field!
