Ray Burton, Jay class of '84


Ray Burton, class of '84, was the most exciting anchor leg in the mile relay that Jay has ever seen. If there was EVER anyone within 30 meters of Ray when he got the baton, he was guaranteed to track them down. Ray UNBELIEVABLE and Ray actually made track more exciting than any other high school sporting event! Needless to say, Ray won the district championship in the 400 and led Jay to the track district championship. Ray was consistently one of the top sprinters in the city as well. He blazed in the 200 meters as well as the 400 meters. Ray Burton was no one sport star, though. He excelled as Jay's starting running back and could score from over 50 yards anytime he touched the ball. Jay's vaunted Starburst kickoff returns with 3 of the fastest guys in the city, Ray Burton, Scott Ankrom, and Carl Booker, was a site to behold.
