MOORE -- Anthony Miner may be short.

And yeah, he's pretty shy.

He's not big on girls, either, "cause they're 'icky.'"

But when it comes to selling popcorn, Anthony Miner brings his A-game.

In fact, he's in a league of his own.

At the age of 11, Anthony holds the title of Top Popcorn Salesman for the Last Frontier Council of Boy Scouts -- the central Oklahoma scouting organization that covers 24 counties across the state.

Say, about 30,000 scouts.

And, popcorn-wise, Anthony outsells them all.

He does it the old-fashioned way. No special gimics. No unique sales pitch. Just a lot of walking, talking and more walking.

"It's hard work," he says. "I walk around a lot with my mom. We just walk around to different houses."

His results are impressive.
