LHS Bulldogs & Friends take to the Diamond for one final event

I arrived at Bulldog Field a little earlier than usual to make sure the Wranglers had some music to listen to during practice. Ryan Carroll ended up beating me down there by a few minutes and it gave the two of us a few minutes to visit. Ryan and six of his Bulldog mates had just finished competing in a Virginia State baseball event up in Woodbridge. The tourney was a double elimination format and District 3 was the name that our players played under. We have included the baseball cards of the 7 Bulldogs that made the trip (Billy Foley was injured but still part of the club) and Ryan mentioned that 7 other athletes from Front Royal and Broadway were on the team.
The coaching staff included Josh Wood, Mike Leake and Zack Leake. The D-3 team kicked off the week on Monday by catching a Potomac Nationals game and then followed it up with a pair of wins on Tuesday. Wednesday saw the team suffer its first loss by a 6-5 score to Dale City but the team woke up (Stayed at the Bestwestern Inn-Woodbridge) with one more chance to advance on Thursday morning.
A team representing Va. Beach bested our locals on Thursday but we here at ATV-60 still salute the efforts of our Bulldogs! Ryan added "It was the most fun I have had with a group of players on a traveling team."
We welcome comments from any of the other 'Dogs or parents and if anyone had a camera up in Woodbridge please let us know.....

Central High School - Coach Jerry Walters & The Falcons Family Tree- Pics 1ST

After spending a couple of hours with Mr. John Galle of the Shenandoah Valley Herald in Woodstock I made the two mile drive over to Central High School. The Lady Falcons were playing Broadway and one thing you can always count on at Central is the chance to visit with some folks that will make you feel right at home. Tonight was no different, except the opportunity to trade stories with none other than Valley Coaching Legend Jerry Walters. On our site Jerry is also known as Jeff''s Dad but for tonight we will call him Coach. Coach spent 34 years working the sidelines at Central until his retirement following the 2004-2005 campaign. While I have known Coach for a few years, it wasn't until Thursday night that I was able to spend what I would call one on one plus time. See, Coach is a magnet to folks in the gym and each one of them brings another couple of stories to the forefront. I can honestly say that I felt privileged to get to spend the evening with such a quality pe
