Life is moving kinda fast these days for Lawrence Nesselrodt as the Skipper of the Waynesboro Generals has just recently gotten married and made a career move. Lawrence has moved from being an assistant Coach at West Virginia State over to the top spot at West Virginia Tech.

In a league that is full of special people, I would argue that Lawrence is the VBL "MVP" for all of the things he does for the Waynesboro Generals and the community of Waynesboro. "Big Picture" is the face of the Generals and I for one hope when the dust settles that he will return to Augusta County for the Summer of 2009.

You could ask any number of people that are closer to the Generals than me about just what Nesselrodt brings to the table in his role with the team. A good place to start would be with some of the former Generals that have played under the Skipper in the past few seasons. I recently was able to sit down with Generals assistant Derek McDaniel and talk with him about how much Nesselrodt means to the community.


"Everything that Lawrence does here in the summer is for the betterment of the team and the town," McDaniel said. " I was the one that went to Jim (Generals owner-Critzer) about Lawrence when he became available."

Both of the schools are a little removed from our Valley so I will try and bring the move into focus...

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
