Zurlon Tipton played at Parkway Christian High School from 2005 - 2008 before getting a scholarship to play at CMU (Central Michigan University) and then professionally for the Indianapolis Colts. He’s tenth all-time in the MHSAA record book for points scored on the football field (571 pts.) He rushed for a robust 5,115 yards in four total varsity seasons (2005-08) His 94 career touchdowns is 8th best in state history, his 76 scoring trots on the ground is 7th best in the MHSAA annals. He scored 38 touchdowns in his junior season on the gridiron (tied for tenth all-time in a single campaign.) He threw down slam dunks on the hardwood that were simply monstrosities...I think some of the rims in EAGLELAND are still rattling! Professor313 (talk) 23:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
