But Ken Dempsey, then a young assistant coach who recruited him out of Toms River North, and former Monmouth head coach Wayne Szoke have no idea where Blackwell is nearly a quarter-century after moments like his put-back at the buzzer to beat Pepperdine in Malibu.... After committing to Monmouth, Blackwell played his senior season at nationally ranked Oak Hill Academy, with Dempsey regularly flying from Newark to Greensboro, N.C., before making the 77-mile drive to Mouth of Wilson, Va., to visit his prize recruit."
