Brett Favre in High School
Here at Packerville, we have over 600 images of, or relating to, Packers’ legendary quarterback Brett Favre, and so we will share some of them from time to time. Today, we have a photo of a young Brett as he appeared when he played for Hancock North Central High School in Kiln, Mississippi. Besides quarterback, Favre played strong safety, punter, and placekicker for the team coached by his father, Irv. Following his senior season, he played in the Mississippi high school all star game. Favre also had his high school jersey (No. 10) retired in April of 1993 — and he was further honored on May 8, 2004, when the school’s football field was renamed “Brett Favre Field,” complete with a life-sized statue at the stadium entrance.
