Spending some quality time in Quicksburg, Va. with the Generals

Welcome to downtown Quicksburg, Va.

I spent the evening sitting with both Jeff Burner and Jason Lutz watching the game. The two were kind enough to continue to give me a History lesson about Stonewall. Today that included the story about Mr. Hines of the famed Hines Block sitting area in the Generals gym.
Mr. Jim Hines was a teacher at the Quicksburg school for 37 years until his recent retirement.

Mr. & Mrs. Burner always on hand to support the Generals.

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.
