DETROIT — Not long after John Brown arrived at Valley View Sports Park in El Dorado Hills, California, the opposing coach approached him about his youngest son, Amon-Ra St.
Brown. It was around Halloween 2008, and as the 9-year-old St. Brown went through warmups for the Yorba Linda Bulldogs, Canyon Hills Panthers coach Brian Liles revealed a secret to John. «We nicknamed your son Freddy,» Liles told Brown. «Who's Freddy?» John responded. «His name is Amon-Ra.» • Inside St.
Brown's drive to be great • Obsession for greatness fuels Crosby • Will Commanders shake up roster? • Bucs aim to end skid after hot start • 2-6 Patriots trying to 'figure it out' • What's next for Vikings with no Cousins? «In practice, as we were getting ready for you guys, we called him Freddy because all the kids are afraid of him, like Freddy Krueger,» Liles said.
For Liles, it's a memory he'd like to forget. St. Brown dominated the Panthers that day, playing tailback, slot receiver and middle linebacker.
