Darren Brummel of Hull noticed her right<br />
away.<br />
The freshman girl with the red hair<br />
in the hallways at Trinity Christian High<br />
School in Hull. She also had the spunky<br />
personality to go with it.<br />
Finding out Dana De Boer of Hull was on the basketball<br />
team with one of his sisters, Darren had an<br />
idea.<br />
“That’s how I got her number, and I shot her a text,”<br />
said Darren, now 20, of how he introduced himself<br />
to Dana his sophomore year in high school. “Trinity<br />
is kind of a smaller school. We didn’t have a lot of<br />
classes together, but we saw each other in the halls<br />
and that’s where I found my attraction to her.”<br />
But Darren was kept at bay.<br />
“I wasn’t allowed to date until my junior year, so<br />
I didn’t show any interest until his senior year, my<br />
junior year,” said Dana, now 20. “The summer before<br />
my junior year, I found out he played baseball and<br />
started talking to him more. He had lost his braces<br />
and baby face and had really matured overall as a<br />
person.”<br />
Darren took another shot, asking what Dana might<br />
like to do if they went on a date. She chose golf.<br />
