I have always said that you can judge the importance of a sporting event by the number of media types in attendance. The battle for 1ST place in the Shenandoah District (Girls) was held Friday night with Stonewall Jackson traveling to Swoope for a game with the defending State Champions- Buffalo Gap.
__________________________________________
Four or five newspapers and two television stations were in the Bison gym for the contest. At the end of this I will have a number of links for you to click on to get a "Gamer". Bill Meade was writing for The News Virginian, Shaun Cox for the Staunton News-Leader, John Galle for the Shenandoah Valley Herald and our buddy Chuck McGill of the Northern Virginia Daily wanted some knowledge on the game as well.
The game was the most entertaining game I have watched this season as both teams came out on fire. Enjoy a few of the pics and after a few hours click over a check out the recaps...

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.
