3 Minute Interview-Swift

Published



Skeeter Swift, 62, grew up playing basketball and football in Alexandria at George Washington High School, where he was best known for drop-kicking a field goal to defeat Annandale in 1965. He later went on to star in basketball at East Tennessee State University (he’s in the school’s Hall of Fame) and played professionally in the now-defunct American Basketball Association. On Tuesday, Swift will be back in Alexandria giving a pep talk to kids at The Charles Houston Recreation Center and another talk Thursday for inmates at the Alexandria jail.
