OKLAHOMA CITY -- Two 1961 Farmington High School graduates were honored recently on All-Century football teams as selected by the Daily Oklahoman.

Ralph Neely was named to the Oklahoma University All-Century first team, and Bob Breitenstein received second-team honors on the Tulsa University All-Century squad.

Playing both offensive and defensive tackle for OU, Neely was a consensus All-American for the Sooners in 1964. He was a two-time All-American and All-Big Eight Conference choice.

Neely went on to star at offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys from 1965-1977.

Breitenstein, named as an offensive guard to Tulsa's All-Century squad, went on to a pro career that included stints with Denver (1965-67) in the American Football League and in the NFL with Minnesota (1967) and Atlanta (1969-70).

Also named to the Sooners' first team was Tommy McDonald, who was born in Hobbs but started as a high school athlete in Albuquerque.

McDonald, named to the All-Century squad as a defensive back, made his name as a flanker for OU and was third in the 1956 Heisman Trophy voting. McDonald, a consensus All-American in 1956, is a members of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame.

The newspaper announced first, second and third teams for Oklahoma, Tulsa and the Division II-and-under state colleges in its August 8th (1999) editon. The criteria was based primarily on the players' achievements at the collegiate level.
