Our beloved coach Adrian aka the Silver Surfer. Just as the surfer shows up on a planet, a few days later the planet is gone. Adrian shows up at a tourney, and after a few days the tourney is gone....and usually he is the champ.
But now he may be forever known for his leap into the over head light, chandelier.
On the game's last play (i think this was to get into the field of 8) Adrian's team made the game winning play to perserve the victory. Everyone was either playing or scrimmaging. I was playing fellow 49er fan Mark Francis in a 9er vs 9er game while being filmed by the professional cameraman Doug.
There was a chair behind Adrian. First he let out a loud yell, or scream that caught most coaches attn. He then used the chair to catapult himself into the air, but the light was right there and his head hit the dome like cover. It was knocked off and crashed to the ground making a rather loud shattering sound that scared just about everyone in the room including me.
As I turned I saw Adrian kinda ducking over, holding his head, trying not to get the glass on him. I was reminded of ole Chocolate Thunder Darryl Dawkins..when he shattered the backboard while being a member of the 76ers. But this was different, and you could see by Adrian's expression that he wanted to be somewhere else...............Wanna Get Away! Southwest couldn't of did it any better!!!
Thanks Silver Surfer for a story that will live on forever!!!!
