Yesterday evening, I watched a good 8th grade contest. Coach Dwight Thacker, a salty ole one- armed Devil, with 37 years of Coaching experience was leading the troops. Well, he was giving instructions to a big kid, and one of the Dad's alarmed us in the stands, "Look that kid is going to thrown up on Coach Thacker. Well that kid kind of humped over a little, kind of like an old Persian long-haired cat fixing to up-chuck a big hair-ball. At the last second, Thacker, cut his speech, wheeled the kid around, to avoid a funny but embarassing moment!....We laughed big time in the stands...About 5 minutes later, Thacker, hollered at the kid to go back in the game and the kid said, "I'm sick at my stomach" to which Thacker screamed "Well, I am sick at my stomach too!"...I guess every boy that has played ball for the old One-Armed bandit; has some kind of story to tell. Coach Thacker plans to retire from Coaching next year-kind of an end-of-an-era....
