What is the history on the Rockhill area of Starkville Mississippi?
I glanced over this article and didn't see anything on Travis Outlaw the NBA player from Starkville. Maybe I missed it though. If someone knows more about him and his history with the town please add it. BryanAtkinson 05:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable People Section
I have tried to clean this section up, as a number of people were listed as being born in Starkville that were not. Also, I removed the following people:
* Willie Gallispi, NFL player with the Miami Dolphins * Brian Smith, musician * Jeffrey Haupt, painter
as I could find no non-recursive (ie., linking back to wikipedia or a mirror of wikipedia content) links to two of them (including Willie Gallispi - I would think there would be something about him on the web if he played in the NFL, but no), and the other is a non-notable professor of art at MSU. Of course, anyone with a legitimate claim to their notability is free to replace them on the list. - LeeNapier 16:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 5A ranking?
An anonymous user ( IP address 69.59.65.82 questioned Starkville High School's 5A ranking. Everything I've found on the web (such as this, this, and this) seems to suggest that they are indeed 5A ranked, but if anyone has evidence that they are not, this is the place for that discussion. - LeeNapier 15:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
