Don&#8217;t care what Southern Valley school you go to or which school&#8217;s colors you wear. 

When it comes to being a fan of high school football you got to love how Dae&#8217;Quan Scott plays the game over at R.E. Lee. Touted as one of the most talented football players to take the gridiron in 2008, Scott did little to dispel that hype in his team&#8217;s opener on Friday&#8212;scampering his way into the end zone four times against Fort Defiance and keying a 40-18 victory over an overmatched Indians squad that never backed down.

Give Tom Cummings this much&#8212;the man that chose to head right into the maelstrom and take over Fort Defiance&#8217;s wrestling program after the questionable ousting of Terry Waters decided he was going to say all the right things Monday. 

Hours before heading to Fort to meet a concerned and angry Indian wrestling family (and you can&#8217;t blame them for being either now can you?) Cummings told sports reporter Corine Gatti that he was going to extend an &#8220;olive branch&#8221; to Waters. 

&#8220;Terry has a great feeder program with the Battlefield Wrestling Club. That&#8217;s what makes our high school programs and youth a success,&#8221; Cummings said. &#8220;Maybe, I can offer him assistance, or vice-versa.&#8221;

OK, just a few (OK, maybe plenty of) questions for Fort Defiance principal Larry Landes and AD Jack Tucker.

Mainly, why?

Why would you fire wrestling coach Terry Waters? Seriously, why?

What, was the seventh winningest coach in the state of Virginia not good enough for you?

Or did you want more than two state champs?           ]]></description>

High school sports always throw them at you, these things we call &#8220;great stories.&#8221; Some get put into print and placed on the Internets. Others go untold to the general public, only talked about amongst those who know.

So let&#8217;s keep it our secret, OK? Let those hoity-toity big-city papers keep high school box scores buried on B10. Those guys have bigger fish to fry.

Let them opine on how the return of the Lakers and Celtics to the NBA Finals is the greatest thing since bread and its eventual slicing.

We&#8217;ll disagree and point over to Pickle Nuckols&#8217; return to the Buffalo Gap football field in 2007 and say, &#8220;Whatever. Beat that.&#8221;           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
When Waynesboro slugger Jay Thompson&#8217;s name was announced over the public address system on May 30 in the Region III semifinals in Amherst, Jefferson Forest took notice. 
Cavalier fans shouted, &#8220;move back the outfield,&#8221; or &#8220;pitch around that guy, he can hit.&#8221;

Little Giant catcher Kendall Wolfe guards home plate with all his heart, usually soiled with dirt and sweat pouring off his face.
Through the season he has picked up a few lessons and is learning to control his throws when runners are in motion and threaten to steal.
The Little Giants are making their second in as many years to Calfee Park to play in the Group AA Final Four against Powhatan. Last season they were ousted by Hidden Valley.            ]]></description>

They have the bats that have punched holes in opposing pitchers this season. 
Eric Hall and Derek Hall made the offensive sledgehammer that kept the Little Giants rolling this season. Many of the Giant players played together as youngsters and by the time they reached their freshmen year in high school, they had an idea about each others personalities and who can do damage on the diamond.

Back in May I asked if it was OK to start using &#8220;state contender&#8221; and &#8220;Waynesboro baseball&#8221; in the same sentence. I mean, the Little Giants had just swept the season series from the Valley&#8217;s Evil Empire (Turner Ashby) and were looking pretty darn good while doing it.

So Waynesboro heads down to Abingdon tonight for its Group AA quarterfinal game. If you don&#8217;t know where Abingdon is at, think the farthest place you&#8217;d travel to watch a high school baseball game, then add about another 30 miles. Yep, it&#8217;s that far.

Waynesboro coach Jim Critzer said his team is evenly matched in tonight&#8217;s Group AA quarterfinals against Abingdon.
&#8220;I see a lot of similarities, they&#8217;re not per se a dominating team,&#8221; Critzer said. &#8220;They know how to comeback, they showed that against Hidden Valley on Friday night. They have a couple of good pitchers and when one is not pitching, the other one plays short stop. It&#8217;s pretty much what we do with [Jeremy] Hahn and Joseph [Lucas].&#8221;

The standard bearer for Waynesboro this season was &#8220;never surrender.&#8221; Freshman Drew DeMoss discovered that during his short tenure wearing a Little Giants&#8217; jersey. Last Thursday, DeMoss stopped the bleeding in relief and closed the door on Jefferson Forest 10-8 for the Group AA berth. He will join the hurlers Joseph Lucas and Jeremy Hahn. Those three arms are expected to carry the Giants in their bid for a return trip the Final Four.
DeMoss is enthralled by the prospect of going all the way in his rookie season.

&#8220;I joined track two years ago. I really wasn&#8217;t into it that much,&#8221; Fenske said. &#8220;But I really started to love it &#8211; especially the high jump. I finished last year in ninth place, so to place first is really exciting.&#8221;

At Waynesboro High School, boring quotes aren&#8217;t the norm. Sure, a few Little Giant helmsmen (and women) keep a copy of the Coackspeak Dictionary on the back of the toilet. 

But Steve Issacs will always tell you what&#8217;s what. Secrett Stubblefield is, well, Secrett Stubblefield. And baseball coach Jim Critzer&#8212;though his tongue is not as Tobasco-laced as it used to be&#8212;will still toss some chipotle your way every now and again. 

After Thursday&#8217;s 10-8 win over Jefferson Forest to lock up a second straight Group AA berth, however, it was a player&#8217;s quote that stood out. Stood out so much, in fact, that it never made it into print. It took a few listens, a luxury not afforded on deadline.

FISHERSVILLE &#8212; Everything clicked for Goochland in its 6-2 Region B semifinal win over Wilson Memorial on Wednesday.
&#8220;It all just fell into place,&#8221; Goochland coach Ron Spessard said.
The Bulldogs were able to take control two minutes into the game when forward Luke Gall sent one into the net. The Bulldogs&#8217; fancy footwork enabled them to win a majority of the one-on-one plays, however the Hornets&#8217; defense was missing their key fullback, Kyle Inlow, due to illness.
