While the young men grew up playing on the concrete of Cynthia Circle, another location was used to hone their athletic skills. A big lot behind the houses was the perfect spot for pickup football games. To this day, they return home and form neighborhood games on Liddell Field.

"I played Liddell Ball," Tullius said. "We have this Liddell field where we played every day. We all just played. I remember I was always the little one, along with Press. We would be wide receivers and run down the field. We would never get the ball much. But playing with them taught me to be tough and to never give up."

What also makes this group special is four of them went on to compete at the collegiate level. Jade hung up the shoulder pads and played baseball for OU while Jake was a walk-on for Sooner football. Press is in the midst of his redshirt freshman season at Butler County Junior College.

Zac began his career at Wake Forest where he redshirted in 2002 and played as a backup in 2003. He then transferred to Butler County and passed for 3,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. After leading Butler to a junior college title, he transferred to the University of Nebraska and in his first season threw for 2,653 yards and 19 scores touchdowns.

"I went on a road trip with the Taylor family to watch Zac play OU last year," Tullius said. "It was so funny that he lived three houses up from me and here he was talking to ESPN's Kirk Herbstreet. That might be the first pro athlete from Cynthia Circle."

Tullius has a chance to make it five for five when he completes his senior season at NHS. Right now he has a chance to do something none of the previous four quarterbacks could do. With their win against Lawton Eisenhower Thursday, the Tigers improved to 8-0 this season and are two games away from finishing the regular season undefeated, which no NHS squad has ever done.

"That would be a great thing to do," Tullius said. "When Zac was quarterback they were like 3-8. But I couldn't take the credit because my team has always won games. We lost one game since we played JV."

Tullius' success reflects not just on him, but also the quarterbacks who came before. It would be a perfect finale to something that began more than a decade ago -- if it is the end.

"Sam is the end of the road," Julie said. "But, there is a boy that just moved on the street. He is 6. So we will have to see about him."
