Think about Mr.Ball especially now that two of my grandsons are playing football where I used to coach with him. Many, many great memories. Love that man to this day.

Mr. Ball was my other father. He coached me in little league football and watched me play sports all thru my career. Other than my dad there is no greater man I have had the privilege of knowing in my lifetime. When he passed we lost a great man and I lost a great friend. RIP Mr. Ball.
