It was a chance for kids with the Boys & Girls Club to hoop with marines, sailors and the men's and women's basketball teams with the Academy of Art University.He came ready to play basketball, and one of the first things he noticed was the USS John P. Murtha.Kindred Heard is a master chief with the Navy. He said he grew up going to the Boys & Girls Club, so being a part of this was important for him.
"Many times, they may look at this ship like it's larger than life, something from Transformers," Heard said."Any time we can bring this down to their level, we're human. We came from where you came from; we can give kids a neat perspective.""It feels good because I grew up around older basketball players, it always felt like I'm trying to be like them one day. I'm just glad I can motivate these kids," Metcalf said.
When kids got on the court, some surrounded Metcalf asking him how old he was and asking if he could help them dunk the ball. "The fact that I can come out here, lift a couple of kids up, show them what it's like to dunk, makes me happy," Metcalf said.Man arrested for stabbing 3 people, assaulting one in San FranciscoJocelyn Moran is back in the Bay, where she grew up.
