Chops ties the knot!

Blue Devil all-time games played leader Kyle Adams, a.k.a Chops, tied the knot in Dunkirk this past weekend, marrying the former Amy Pencek. Chops also served as an assistant coach for the Devils for four years.

Chops is one of the most loyal people I know. He was also my first-ever recruit at Fredonia State. He set the tone and played the game the right way. He deserves a lot of credit for raising the standards for our program.

Both he and Amy are teachers in the Dunkirk School District. Our team has helped out Kyle the past two years with his after-school math program, and Kyle has worked our summer camp every year since he graduated.

Other FSU teammates there were:
Brother Tommy Adams (Best Man), Dave Ickowski and a bearded Bryan Recchia (wedding party), as well as Phil Gavin (retired rapper), Noah Huard, Mike Austin and Dr. Shane Morrison. Matt Baudo made it up the night before, but could not make the wedding.

Mario Muscarella and Jim Quinn, who both teach in Dunkirk, were there as well. They graduated a few years prior to Kyle's freshman year.

Of course, Mario brought up the infamous "Sellmeyer Hangup", Nick Fiorella getting cheered after getting hit in the head by a pitch, and the "This is why I play baseball" quote. Good times.
