You may or may not know that I am currently assistant high school principal and baseball coach at Walnut Ridge. Coach Scogin would drive us nuts with the repetition of drills in practice. I have now become that guy and it is because of Coach Scogin. He instilled in me and many others the work-ethic needed to be successful in life. Trent, I still remember you leading us out to Vanilla Ice when you were a little kid. You guys are in my family's prayers.

Chicago, IL Thursday, August 5, 2010 Mom, T-Man and Michelle,There are so many memories to tell. From teaching me family had no shade of color to saving the allowance that was given. From the days of fishing together and even the days he stopped by to see me while I was sick and out of school. He was a father figure for me at very young age. I can remember the days of Frazier, Smith, Neal, Young, and just tagging along anywhere my family was going.
He will be truly missed by so, so, so many. And to think, I didn’t know who Terrence Trent Darby was until Coach played the cassette.
I’m only a phone call way.
Love,
Stephen Blackman
