| West Point's Michie Stadium |
I had the honor to
see Syd Abernethy play my senior year in high school in Croton and his senior year in
college at the Naval Academy in a quarterfinal NCAA playoff game at West Point in 1981. Before that
game, I had never heard of him. In addition, it was my first time seeing an African American in game, and one who clearly was one of the best players on the field and one who played my position
too—attack. Many people don’t know I was an attackman in high school.
