As in Alema, one of Manti's Uncles, (mentioned by Craigo in one of the threads about Manti), that used to coach at Woods Cross high back in the early 90's? If it is I remember a funny & sad story about him when I was a student there. He was the announcer in the gym at the game between WX and Bountiful at WX and was getting belittled in horrific ways by some of the Bountiful parents. Much of the scorn was racial and profanity filled. Finally the uncle of one of the star players from Bountiful yelled something to the effect of 'go back to Africa you ______-darned coconumt picker!' And then proceeded to come down to the scorers table to confront Teo. The guy puts Teo in a headlock before Teo knew what was going on and Teo just stood right up with the guy hanging on, turned around, held him pushed and held him with one hand and one punched him in the face with the other. The man fell straight backward and hit the back of his head on the bleachers unconscious.

Needless to say fights erupted...in the parents section including other faculty and several more parents. The game was called with a few seconds left and WX won.

If it is the same Teo family....bless their toughness (to withstand such comments the entire game) and strength. If if it's not...hey it was a good story right?

Go Cougs!!!
