It was a cold and foggy mid-September Sunday morning at Griff's house. And so, after breakfast, a question of whether to go back to the bedroom or to watch the second half of Huygens victory over Humboldt arose. There was, however, time for both before the NFL appeared on the Sunday afternoon television screen.

Game film rolled an hour or so later in the beach house living room. Griff fast forwarded past the Huygens short-lived first possession of the Second Half, and past the Humboldt first possession field goal.

"Since B2 was back in the lineup as the Second Running back, I put Gerry's younger brother Marvin ‘Marv’ Sun in as kick returner,” he said to Caydance.

The game film rolled. Humboldt's kick landed in the hands of precisely positioned "Marv" Sun. Marv started running. Although not as good as his brother at running complex routes, Marv was faster. But Humboldt had more depth in their roster, and five Special Teams big men were headed down the field.

Along the sideline -- as in practice Griff had advised -- Marv kept running. The area's record of Chinese expulsion still lingered, and no local members of Gerry and Marv's extended family were in the stands that afternoon. But for any coach, the moment when his team's Kick Returner broke clear was memorable - and often replayed in memory and film. On the Huygens vs Humboldt film, Marv was running clear.

“What happened to the huge Humboldt tackles? “ Caydance asked

“What you don’t see because Sally’s film concentrates on the runner is that Special Teams Coach, Robbie O'Arragan put Damian, Darnell and Noah in the Kickoff Return team.”

The game film rolled. Still standing, Marv ran into the End Zone. As the Huygens campus newspaper would later report, Marv’s 87 yard kickoff return was the longest kickoff return by a Chinese running back in D3 history.
