Daily Pooch Punt: 4/11/2007
So, Steve Isaacs is the new football coach at Waynesboro High School.
So, what can we expect this upcoming season?
So, he said he wasn’t going to make any predictions on wins and losses.
So, he wore a purple tie to his first news conference.
So, he caught himself saying “our” when talking about his old school — Western Albemarle.
So, he plans on talking with the coaches in the Waynesboro Quarterback Club Little League football.
So, he says his version of the Little Giants will be fun to watch.
So, he says that will bring the fans back out.
So, he plans on keeping the single-wing in one form or another.
So, he says the single-wing isn’t a formation, it’s a concept.
So, he has a state title ring the size of Expoland on his right hand.
So, he says he plans on staying at Waynesboro for a while.
So, he says getting the athletes to come out for the football team will happen.
So, once again we’re waiting.
So, is he the one?
And another thing: So, you know how you can tell when your softball team is a powerhouse. If you’re Turner Ashby, it’s when Stuarts Draft coach Michelle Campbell is pleased that her team only lost 13-0, credits strong play by her defense for keeping it close and says she was happy that they held the team to a 6-0 lead heading into the sixth inning.
Don’t laugh: So, a certain sports editor nodded in agreement. That’s not bad for a young team playing a state powerhouse.
Yeah, but: So, somewhere Fort Defiance coach Max Hill is laughing. You know the Indians? The team that handed the Knights their first Valley District loss in 87 games.
It’s called revenge: “We got off to a fast start and that’s what we want to do — control each game,” says Waynesboro baseball coach Jim Critzer. Looks like it worked against Rockbridge, now hopefully it will work against the Wildcats in the Valley tournament this year.
And undefeated dynasty in the making: The Little Giants’ boys soccer team is 7-0, so is the JV team. Looks like we got ourselves a dynasty in the making. Now all they have to do is make it out of the Region II tourney to solidify that statement.
Totally not sports related: I was sitting at home thinking last night (which explains why I’m tired) that’s it’s only 114 days until this single sports guy is a married sports guy.
So, what I’m saying is: Pray for the future Mrs. Sports Editor. Let’s hope she doesn’t mind watching her husband play video games for five hours a day.
Which leads me to: Less than a week after FINALLY finishing Final Fantasy XII for the PlayStation2, I’m going try to roll through it again and go through all the side quests.
The kicker: The first time I play through it took 143 hours of play time. Can I have six days of my life back, please? (And why am I willingly giving away another week or so? Discuss.)
And finally: Let the debate continue. Since my wrestling comment yesterday, I’ve gotten several e-mails from these darn “kids” saying how much the new “DX” kicks butt. Sorry, folks, when it comes to my wrestling I like my WW with and F, not an E. I like my Austin Stone Cold. And, most importantly, I like more than two members in DX. And if you’re not down with that, I got two words for you – See you tomorrow. (OK, that’s three. But I’m a writer, not a mathematician. That’s Steve Isaacs’s department.)
