Speight's article should mention that Russell Wilson went to the same high school. However, it feels contrived to shoehorn in a statement that he was the best athlete in his high school graduating class. If you told me he was the best athlete in Henrico County, Virginia or the Richmond Times-Dispatch football player of the year, that might be worth mentioning. However, best athlete in your high school graduating class is not such a big deal for an international encyclopedia. We really need to figure out how to mention that Wilson went to the same high school.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:46, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
