I'd been watching Murray for a while and knew his hometown, but somehow I never made the connection that he was from the town where a gunman killed 16 5-6 y-o kids back in 1996. In fact, Andy was an 8 y-o student at that school at the time.
ESPN did a nice piece on the hope for turning around the association for the town that they ran during the Wimbledon coverage yesterday. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/ten...ory?id=4290989 |
Yeah, yeah, you watch Murray solely for his artistry with a magic wand.
