This man does not have a scowl on his face. Rather, this man is pure concentration!
While you and thewebguy get to socialize prior to game time, this man is getting the lineup from each of the head coaches and writing them into scorebook.
While you and thewebguy stand up and cheer the player introductions, this man is ensuring that the starters he has marked in the scorebook are the players being introduced.
While you and thewebguy show your support for the home team that just completed a fast break off a missed opponents shot, this man is busy marking down the rebound, the assist and the player who scored the basket!
While you and thewebguy disagree with the referee's call and let him know about it, this man is calmly reviewing who has the next ball possession and ensures that the time keeper has everything ready to go for the out of bounds play!
While you and thewebguy get up after the end of the quarter or half time to stretch our legs, this man is busy tallying up statistics.
While you and thewebguy roam the basketball floor after the game to congratulate the players, this man is performing a final tally of the stats so Coach Bisutti has initial data to review before the end of the night!
This man is an unsung "hero" within the Zutti Zone Team!
This man is Chris Cordi. The Official Scorekeeper of the Dublin Scioto IRISH Basketball Team!
Chris has been with the program for as long as thewebguy can remember! thewebguy will state that Chris probably has been the official scorekeeper since the school's first year in 1995-96!
From time to time thewebguy will look over to Chris and seeing the look on his face tells me that he knows exactly what is going on and what the situation is and how it affects the scorebook!
Chris Cordi knows the role of the scorekeeper and how important it is to remain focused and stay on top of events going on in the game.
Chris has seen a lot of basketball games and he has seen a few scorekeepers that do not share his passion to remain focused and do the job that is in front them.
IRISH Fans, the next time you see Chris Cordi prior to the game or after he completes his duties behind the scorers table, stop him and say hello and thank him for a job well done!
