My very good friend, Ben Pinkerton, was inducted into the Blacksburg High School sports HOF tonight. Ben graduated from Blacksburg High in 1996 as an All-State goalkeeper and state champion. He went on to play soccer for VIrginia Tech and after graduating from tech, was a goalkeeper coach for unc charlotte and then nc state. Ben died nearly 2 years ago at the age of 37 after battling colorectal cancer. He's survived by his wife Karla and 3 year old son Daniel.
So proud of my friend Ben tonight.
