Mickey McCarty, a multi-sport standout at Pasadena High School and at TCU who was drafted to play pro football, baseball and basketball in 1968 and who twice survived heart transplant surgery, died Wednesday after a nine-month struggle with pancreatic cancer.
McCarty, 63, who lived in League City, was one of Greater Houston's best athletes at a time when the area produced such standouts as Ken Spain, Norm Bulaich, Loyd Wainscott and Chris Gilbert in the mid-1960s.

A 1953 graduate of OHS, Watkins roamed the halls at 13th and Dotsy when the names Byron Townsend and Hayden Fry weren’t memories of days gone by but recent reminders of the 1946 Bronchos state football championship.
While in college, the coaching bug also bit Watkins, starting him on a path that would become a lifelong passion. That path will take Watkins into the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor.
