Semi OT regarding Retherford

[goethe14]

So does Benton or Line Mountain claim him as a native son and a NCAA champion? Both?

Not touching this one with a 10-ft pole ... only will point out that there are Penn Staters high up on both sides of that issue. I don't know if the hard feelings still exist, but sometimes it's better to not poke the bear.

good one.... I still get a chuckle for the reasoning Zain's father gave for switching schools...

I would imagine so since Zain says he hails from a pumpkin farm in Benton PA. If I were to hazard a guess, it would be that we'll never again hear the words "Line Mountain" uttered by a Retherford.

My aunt Sally claims him as a fellow Benton resident.

Love seeing national champs from PA towns like Murraysville and Benton (Herndon would be fine with me, too)

Sure want to see Yatesboro, PA added to this list.

And props to Abbottsown, PA for producing a fine young man and great competitor.
