DETROIT -- Not long after John Brown arrived at Valley View Sports Park in El Dorado Hills, California, the opposing coach approached him about his youngest son, Amon-Ra St. Brown.
It was around Halloween 2008, and as the 9-year-old St. Brown went through warmups for the Yorba Linda Bulldogs, Canyon Hills Panthers coach Brian Liles revealed a secret to John.
"We nicknamed your son Freddy," Liles told Brown.
"Who's Freddy?" John responded. "His name is Amon-Ra."
