Thought some guys may be interested in this.
Doing a little research on Memphis and discovered my old friend Chris Ball is the DC there...he is the son of Jack Ball (HC at Webster Groves and later at Northeast Missouri State)...and Chris played HS football for Webster Groves and played collegiately at Missouri Western.
Ball began his coaching career at Northeast Missouri State (1986-87) and Akron (1987-88), before joining Mike Price’s staff – his first at Washington State – in 1989. He also coached at Coffeyville Community College (1990-94), Western Oregon State College (1995-96) and Missouri Western State (1997-98).
A St. Louis, Mo., native, Ball played his prep ball at Webster Grove High School and went on to have a standout collegiate career at Missouri Western State College in Saint Joseph, Mo.
Ball starred in the Griffons secondary from 1982-85. His 12 career interceptions are the sixth-most in Griffons history, and his five picks in 1984 led the team that season. In 1985, Ball earned All-America honors.
