Best HS athlete of all time

Since this is about high school football:

Watching LeBron play football was a treat. All-state receiver his soph and junior yrs. Wonder how he would have done as a 6-6", 225lb receiver.

Danny Ainge was one of the greatest athletes to ever come out of Oregon. If memory serves he was all-state in baseball, basketball and football and maybe more. Parade all-american as a Jr in football. Two sport pro athlete in basketball and baseball (MLB and NBA). NBA head coach. GM of Boston Celtics.

We can now add another NBA title to Danny Ainge as the Celtic's GM.

Danny Ainge is the only person to be a high school first team All-American in football, basketball, and baseball.

Roger Maris, from N.Dakota (I think) seemed to have a pretty good resume in both football and baseball. Aint sure about other sports.
And, I know Jim Brown excelled at either Rugby or LaCrosse in college. (I know this is a HS topic. Just dont know if he played another sport in HS)

In all reality, to pick "The Best" would be only slightly easier than hitting a Sidd Finch fastball. Or finding Scott Berg.

Jim Brown was an All-American mid-fielder in lacrosse at Syracuse.
