Alan Rappold was a star running back on the 1962-1964 football teams, including the legendary 1963 State Champions. Rappold was known for his physical, north-south running style, but he was also blessed with great speed. Hampered by injuries his senior year, he entered the game versus Redemptorist for one play and scored the game-winning touchdown on an 80-yard run for 7-0 victory. He earned a football scholarship to Mississippi State, where he played running back for two seasons. Trading in his cleats and helmet for picks and drills, Rappold looked to his future by attending LSU Dental School and building a thriving practice.
