Hometown Vollono Returns to DC All Grown-up (Relatively speaking)


Where Are They Now: James Vollono
If you haven't heard of James Vollono, and you're a female, consider yourself lucky! Longtime family friend of Ahern, James Vollono is returning to DC this weekend. Conceived and raised in Kensington, MD, James attended Holy Redeemer grade school in Kensington, MD and has been involved in football pretty much from the womb. Coach Vollono, pictured above at 12 years old, played football for Maplewood sports association. The highlight being the beltway championship at Byrd stadium, where he will be returning this Saturday as a coach for UNC Chapel Hill. In this legendary Maplewood game, Vollono, the team's center, lined up in an odd formation where he was the last man on the line. James snapped the ball to future Univ of Maryland football star, Scott Mcbrien, who quickly threw the ball back to Vollono for a gain of 8 yards. All 34 people in Byrd stadium (which includes the Byrd stadium cleaning crew) went crazy.

After dominating the QB position at BCC High school and running back position at Catholic Univ, (and excluding a 3 year stint of partying incessantly which even I do not recall), James dived into his passion of coaching. Vollono has coached at Navy sprint football, Annapolis high school, Georgetown University and is currently a special teams grad assistant for the Tarheels. Ahern will be attending the UMD/UNC game and will be setting up an autograph booth near the main entrance for all fans. Welcome back to the DMV, James. See you on Saturday. Go Terps!

How do I get my mint condition limited edition Vollono cover "Football" issue autographed!? I think I'll get more for it on Ebay if it's personalized.
