Manuel Hendrix (born October 20, 1964 in Phoenix, Arizona) is a former American football cornerback in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college basketball at the University of Utah. ==Early years== Hendrix attended South Mountain High School where he was named all-state in basketball and football. He was a four-year starter and two-time captain for the University of Utah basketball team under the coaching of Lynn Archibald,〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19970531&id=gx5OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=C-0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3369,8793688〕 finishing his career ranked eighth in scoring with 1,493 points and fifth in assists with 409. Hendrix helped the Utes to the NCAA Tournament in 1983 where they eliminated UCLA reaching the Sweet 16, and again in 1986 where they lost to North Carolina in the First round.〔http://articles.philly.com/1986-03-14/sports/26081661_1_bradley-utes-manuel-hendrix〕 During his senior year he was named team MVP and second-team All-WAC.〔http://articles.latimes.com/1986-03-05/sports/sp-15522_1_wac〕 He is perhaps best remembered for hitting the winning shots in back-to-back games in the 1985 WAC Tournament, specially the one against Wyoming University.〔http://www.deseretnews.com/top/472/9/Mannys-miracle-Utahs-top-10-conference-tournament-games-of-all-time.html〕〔http://articles.latimes.com/1985-03-07/sports/sp-34644_1_basketball-tournament〕 Hendrix possessed elite speed and put it on display during halftime of the intrasquad spring game in 1986, when tired of the taunts from football player Del Rodgers (a 1982 third-round draft pick), accepted his challenge to a 30-yard run and beat him barefoot. They would then run a 40-yard race where he won running the last 5 yards backwards. In 2005, he was inducted into the Crimson Club Hall of Fame.〔http://www.utahutes.com/genrel/042105aaa.html〕 In 2006, he was inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame.〔http://www.utahsportshalloffame.org/honorees/hall-of-fame.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manny Hendrix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
