Daily Pooch Punt: 4/10/2007

Andy Sherrill, Todd Phillips, Nick Gore, Tim Brown, Blair deCourcy, James Lucas, Keith Miller, Joel Robinson, Ander Ross and Jay Thompson fell short of giving Waynesboro its first Group AA boys basketball title in 16 years last month – making in to the Final Four in Richmond. But the Waynesboro City Council is bestowing an honor on the group of players – at tonight’s city council meeting them will declare Tuesday, April 10, 2007 “Waynesboro High School 2006-2007 Boys Basketball Team Day” in the city, which begs the question: Why do this during your night city council meeting? Should you make April 11 their special day, so they can enjoy more than just a few hours?
Hey, I’m just askin.

And another thing: With barely enough players to fill out its ladder last season, the Waynesboro girls tennis team won only two matches all of last season. This year, with a full-squad and few more waiting in the wings, the same team has won four matches in four tries. Hmmm, you see what participation gets you?

Paging Waynesboro football, Waynesboro football. Paging Waynesboro football, you might want to learn something from the girls tennis team.

Do what now? “Each year I get a new pair of pink underwear and after we do good and I get that first win, that’s what I wear,” says Riverheads pitching phenom Annie Sandridge.

Gotta beat the big boys: Just when you thought Stuarts Draft soccer was poised and ready to take control of the Valley District, some team called the Little Giants steps in and says “not just yet.”
The Cougar nation shouldn’t worry too much, however. Anything can happen in the Valley tournament (and with at their second meeting with Waynesboro, this time at home.)

From the “I-don’t-give-a-crap” file: I left work early last night and caught the last hour of what used to be my favorite Monday night pastime – pro wrestling. Of course, I haven’t watched pro wrestling in years and, thanks to Jerry “The King” Lawler, I may never watch again all because of this line: “If Shawn Michaels’ eye swells shut, that’s really going to put him at a disadvantage.” Really? Ya think so, King?

Finally: That’s it for April 10, 2007, only 115 more days of being a bachelor for this sports editor and rookie blogger.
