Sports Desk: NV's Bower is Wolverine of the Week; Hudson from O-M goes into the Hall

Who ordered this weather?” I asked. “Two Fridays in a row and possibly another predicated for this coming Friday as well.”

“I didn’t,” said JL. “It’s too hard to get around to BOGO sales.”

“So the weather is a money saver for you,” I said.

“You don’t have to be so smug about it,” said JL.

“The biggest shame is it is postponing all of our sporting events,” said Decatur Spence.

“The main word there is Postponing,” I said. “The games will be made up at some point if possible.”

“I thought we were going to have meetings where we could eat something,” said Legion Steve.

“I picked up a jar of pickled something or another for you to munch on,” I said.

“It’s the another that I’m afraid of,” said Legion Steve.

“It’s frog something,” I said. “I just can’t read the label.”

“What’s smug?” asked Big Red. “You can’t talk to my friend like that.”

“I just did,” I said. “Let’s call the meeting to order.”

“We can’t,” said Legion Steve. “Patty Cakes and P. Buckmiller aren’t here yet.”

“Patty Cakes is caught in a snowdrift,” I said.

“Her car?” asked Decatur Spence.

“When you’re one of the famous Twin Towers, you don’t need a car to get stuck in a snowdrift,” I said.

“You can’t talk about her like that,” said Big Red.

“It’s all in fun,” I said. “Patty Cakes knows that.”

“I’m here,” said P. Buckmiller.

“Where have you been?” I asked.

“Had a meet in Centerville,” said P. Buckmiller. “Russ the Bus hit a head wind on the way home. Slowed us down a bit.”

“Any nominations for this week?” I asked.

“Clay and Toby are playing well for the NV boys,” said Legion Steve.

“The whole eighth grade girls played well,” said Decatur Spence. “They went undefeated this season. First time in a long time.”

“Maddax is playing well for the NV girls,” said Patty Cakes. “In fact, all the girls are playing well.”

“How about the mat team?” I asked.

“Elliot, Austin and Jory continue to wrestle well,” said Big Red.

“How do you know about wrestling?” I asked.

“I don’t,” said Big Red. “I just overheard some talk about it. It’s your column, so you need to pick who you think is a good nominee this week.”

“Alright then,” I said. “Let’s see what I can come up with.”

The weather is changing; it’s cold out there,

The wind is blowing fluffy snow everywhere.

The gym is packed; you can feel the heat,

Wolverine Pride is hard to beat.

I think this week we’ll go with some round ball,

Where we’ve had several athletes stand tall.

I could name a boy or name a girl,

There are plenty, my head is in a swirl.

I’m looking at stats, and one stands tall as a tower.

Our Wolverine of the Week is Toby Bower.

Hall of Fame

Let’s go back a few years into the early 1970s,” I said. “It’s time we honor another Bulldog.”

“I probably played around that time,” said Patty Cakes.

“Yes, you did,” I said. “This Bulldog was a two-time all Little Eight baseball player and made second team all-conference in basketball.”

“No clue,” said Patty Cakes.

“This weeks Hall of Fame inductee is O-M’s Warren Hudson.”
