ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would say to Chance is thanks for everything. That's pretty much it.
CHANCE started playing football, when he was 6 years old Pee wee football and played in grade school, middle school, and high school.
ReplyDeleteHe started as a youngster in Pee-wee wrestling and wrestled all through high school.
He also played basketball and baseball.
He got real serious about baseball the last 2 year of high school. Palisade (during the spring) he played an outfield position on thevarsity team. He was trying out for the pitcher position. When they clocked Chance's pitch—he had a fastball of 92mph; not real accurate, but fast the coach realized he might have some potential as a pitcher.
Chance was awarded a posthumous promotion to Lance Corporal shortly after his death.
In addition, a baseball field constructed in Camp Ramadi was dedicated Phelps Field.
Hi chance you seem like very out going person and popular at all sports athlete in high school. I'm very inspired by what you done to protecting the freedom for this country. You deserve the huge respect in every day in life or death. I thank your parents for rasing such a wonderful son.
