So get this. It seems Liberty High alumnus Quincy Amarikwa's soccer career at UC Davis — and his subsequent success — came about somewhat by accident. Aggies coach Dwayne Shaffer told it to me like this: He stumbled upon Amarikwa at a club tournament in 2005 in San Diego. The tournament had run very late on a Friday night, until about 10 p.m. Shaffer was watching a game, but he kept hearing the roar of the crowd coming from another field and every time he looked over there he saw Amarikwa in celebration with his teammates. It caught his attention. He walked over to watch Amarikwa play and was totally impressed. Three days later, he said he had Amarikwa visiting campus in Davis and committed to play for the Aggies. Isn't that something? Now look where Amarikwa and UC Davis are both at as a result. Amarikwa among the best players in the nation and UC Davis among the best teams in the nation in only its second season as a Division I program. Now, as incredible as that...
