Bragging on or showing pride of these young soccer players who succeed in soccer and later as grown adults in life is a joy that I have repeated constantly to the readers. Of the hundreds of players that I have coached and enjoyed, there is a spiritualness that has not been mentioned....but is real. Most of these former players have done well in their lives, and I enjoy sharing their lives with the readers.

A few young men have gone on and shared their spiritual work that I need to mention to you also. Understand, if I have not shared your religious work in these paragraphs, it may be because of lack of memory or not being told . I would love to hear of my soccer players' work in church or missions if I have overlooked you...!!

Andy McCaskill became state player of the year in his senior year in approximately '95. He played for me back in his three years of eligibility (in the late '80's into '90). He and wife Susan served as missionaries after college probably in the late '90's...maybe up in the early 21st century. I found out about two years ago that Andy and wife are now teaching (I think) in Richmond. Aaron, my son, and wife have served in Kazakhstan in '07 and plan to go back this year...(contingent)... Greg Moses of the 2000 team has served and plans again this year working with youth and soccer in South Africa. Chad Morris works on Carson-Newman campus as advisor and is newly married. Darryl McCallum is now a pastor based (I think) in Christiansburg. Craig Janney is married and pastor in NC. Mark Givens and brother Kent are in the Harrisonburg area...one a youth pastor and one working for Campus Crusade.
(Again, these are sketchy details and my apology.)
