I'm visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and the new grandson (our 1st ) in St Louis. We were at a big Walmart store out in Maplewood when I saw a rather tall young lad checking out in another line. He looked familar, but I couldn't place him. I rememebered this morning. His name is John Manning, and he's a freshman BB player at SLU. He played his HS ball at Chantilly HS in NVA. I reffed him a couple years at the D3 camp in Richmond. If memory serves, somewhere in my officiating archives there exixts a dvd with me working a game with the Chantilly varsity.
Yes, it's a small world. Here's what I found to be interesting. Check out Coach Rick's comment -
