Serviceman Father of Seton Hall's Shavar Reynolds Makes Surprise Homecoming

Seton Hall Pirates freshman guard Shavar Reynolds thought he was in the middle of a routine film session with teammates Friday.

Little did he know he was about to receive an early holiday gift.

Per the Pirates' official website, Reynolds' father, Shavar Reynolds Sr., had served in Greece with the United States Navy for the past 11 months before returning to New Jersey on Friday.

The master-at-arms chief went directly to Seton Hall's campus after landing at Newark Liberty International Airport, and he and his son enjoyed an emotional homecoming as Reynolds' teammates cheered.

Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard honored the returning serviceman's request by ordering pepperoni pizza and wings for the occasion.

Happy holidays, Reynolds family.
