Hoppy was the best! Hop always took us kids to the away high school games. All of us kids on amboy.I recall going over to the house and he'd let us listen to his bearcat scanner. Also being bat boy on 3477 team that hop coached. If my memory serves me right we were 21-0! To Mrs Brickner, Cindy&Freddy, and Beaver may god bless you and give you his peace during these difficult times. Stephen Salay and Family
