Lunch with Bill Meade's Pigskin Panel of Prognosticators

Image
STANLEY,VA- We had a great deal of fun this season with our participation in the Page News & Courier's Pigskin Picks and today we celebrated the year with a small banquet. The gathering took place down at the HAWKSBILL DINER which is located in the suburbs of Downtown Stanley. Randy Arrington is the Editor of the PN & C and hosted the event along with Sports Editor Bill Meade. The two hours were very enjoyable and all that attended would agree that is was a nice way to wrap up the 15 week contest. ________________________________ During the 15 weeks we posted the games on our site and encouraged folks to play along at home. I wanted to say thank you to Generals Sign Guy Mike for having fun with us by sending in his picks each week and to others that sent them in from time to time. Now that the contest is over we can talk about the competition end for the first time. ________________________________ The panel consisted of 7 slots made up from people here in Page County, V...

Road Trippin' with Bill Meade and the Luray Bulldogs... Luray @ Eastern View (Culpepper)

Image
The cell phone rang Saturday morning at 10:54 A.M. and it was none other than Mr. Bill Meade of the Page News & Courier. It turns out that Bill was going to be heading across the mountain to Culpepper later Saturday to cover the Luray Boys Basketball team. Luray was scheduled to face the Cyclones of Eastern View High School. EVHS is playing its first year of sports after opening this fall over in Culpepper County. I informed Bill that this is the Sunday that we give Christmas gift bags to our customers and that we would be prepping them all day but if we were at a stopping point by the 6:00 P.M. departure time I would be up to the ride. A few minutes after 5:00 there is a ring of the door bell and it is Bill asking if he can be of some help with the treats. Mr.Meade pulls up a chair and starts on the pile in front of him with no questions asked. Now, there is two ways to look at that- Bill is just that nice of a guy or he was just desperate for some company... Those of you th...

Luray's Jenny & Willie Logan...

Jenny Logan is now playing her basketball for the Lady Eagles of Bridgewater College but her younger brother Willie is still wearing the colors of LHS . Jenny made the trip over as did Mom & Dad to watch the action. This gave the opportunity to invite Jenny to become a ATV-60 Correspondent from BC where she rooms with none other than Ms. Katie Baker of Strasburg . I did get to share with Jenny the story about Coach Burner (Stonewall Jackson) having a defense he calls the "Jenny Logan Junk Defense". Pretty cool to be so young and have a defense named after you. We hope Jenny takes us up on our offer...
