Special Football Jersey Stolen
WEST VIRGINIA...
Until a couple weeks ago, a special blue and gold football jersey hung in the game room of Mac-Reedo's in Huntington. Coming from Harrison High School in Harrison, Ark., with the number 62 and "B. Reed" on the back, this piece of memorabilia stuck out in the bar surrounded by decades of relics from Thundering Herd athletics. Serving as a memorial to Brian Reed, the late nephew of Mac-Reedo's owner Connie Reed, the jersey was the centerpiece of the game room named in his honor. Despite the sentimental significance, Brian's jersey no longer hangs above the pool table in the bar, as it was stolen the weekend of the Marshall-UAB football game. Brian was killed in a single-car accident the night after his graduation from high school in 2009.
