He will be watching this event with a big smile on his face. My Mother, Father, my children and I truely miss him. I had hoped he would be like a father fiqure to my kids as we lost their dad/ my husband in November. Tony and I grew up on a great street in Yorba Linda...we were close and with our busy lives as adults we kinda lost sight of what mattered and that is to keep in touch, see each other often and say "I LOVE YOU". I will never get that chance again so I tell you all not to forget those things! I hope that If I can help in any way with this event that someone will contact me. Thanks Coach Sink and Coach Kiernan...our Family is very appreciative. Lisa Matson-Neal What a Honor…my brother was a great man, coach, brother, son, uncle, father and husband!

They put the game on MLK day and invited OLU to play Villa Park and Rosary to play Foothill. The goal is to sell MD out for Tony. Coach Kiernan and Coach Sink would love to make this an annual event.

Who is organizing the event? Is going to be an annual event? Tony was a special guy and will be missed. Thanks to whoever made this happen. Glad to see my dear friend being honored with this event.
