Bowers’ football formula at Draft proving successful
So go ahead and meet Josh Wilson, J.D. Rines and Chris Mahanes. Three of the 28 Cougars that worked hard and, with the exception of that Wilson game, worked right. All three are going to play football in college with Rines (a four-year starter) heading to Ferrum, Mahanes (another four-year man) heading down the Valley to play at Shenandoah and Wilson, a kid who never played football until this season, heading to Bridgewater. Yep, that’s what happens when you work hard and, more importantly, work right. Right?
And another thing: Wilson, never expecting to play college football, will be joining an Eagles team that’s already secured a quarterback from Augusta County. The QB’s name? Jacob Hutchinson from Riverheads. Nice.
From frequent Daily Pooch Punt visitor Jim Critzer, Waynesboro’s baseball skipper: “Joe [Lucas] didn’t have his good stuff today,” he said after the Little Giants edged past Fort Defiance 1-0 on Tuesday. Really? If seven strikeouts and scattering five hits in a shutout win isn’t Joseph Lucas’ “good stuff” then the Southern Valley District may be in some trouble. Because, and let’s face it, I don’t wanna see his good stuff from the batter’s box.
Oh, and look:Waynesboro is 3-0 in the district. Maybe Critzer wasn’t kidding when he said the Little Giants have the capability to reload instead of rebuild.
Seriously, there should be a law against being this good of a coach in two sports. If there isn’t, let’s look into it and call it the “Coffey Rule.”
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, let us present to you exactly what a young Little Giants’ girls soccer team needed — a 3-0 win over Spotswood.
And finally: “We were afraid of [Lucas’] curveball and we let the fastball go by us,” said Fort Defiance skipper Vic Spotts.
Which leads us to T-shirts that must be made for Lucas and the Little Giants: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
