Just a smidge two decades difference but a degree of separation w/my fellow Raleigh @ArmyWP_WSoccer cadet-athlete. What was once CASL now @NCFC_Youth and who was once my old club coach was Mel's HS @leesvilleroadhs coach.

The loss of Kevin Todd today will be something the soccer community mourns for a long time. He was a class act, the epitome of sportsmanship, a wonderful coach, and humble man. His players and students will miss him, as will I. 💔
