stratford coaches and land they live in

I challenged Stratford to get over 30 views and 37 , so I will continue to write. I mean 37 isn't bad, it isn't 120 like I got for a Tattnall story, but it isn't bad, and it makes me write again. I mean I still have others to write on, and I am covering Stratford soccer tonight, so here it goes.
Jamie Dickey and DeWayne Lawson can be thanked by me for leading the charge of more readers. But I know that will end when I am not writing Stratford stuff. Or, maybe not. A writer(blogger) has to reel in his audience and that's what I am doing (hopefully)
I am mad right now because I was blogging and all of a sudden half of it was gone. So I guess that I will start over. I was writing about Cass Cassell and his wonderful wife April. I will admit that April coached under my brother at Monroe Academy for many years, and she was just so young back then and she thought she still has some athletic ability. I am thinking that was maybe 20 or so years ago and somehow it ended up that she thought she could beat me in a footrace,up the basketball court and back down the basketball court. Unfortunately for her, she underestimated the athlete that was hidden behind the girth, and I soundly defeated her. And I continue to bring it up to her every time I see her, usually in front of large crowds.
I first got to know her husband when he became head coach at Westfield. I knew this guy had coached in the GHSA for years, and you could tell he knew what he was doing. He was coaching girls basketball and had a good team. Well the average attendance at a GISA girls basketball game is usually about 50, (on a good night) and early in the first half, a call went against the Hornets and all of a sudden a sound I had never heard echoed through the building. "GOD BLESS A MILK COW !!!, Huh ? Huh ? What the crap does that mean and who yelled that out. Well since no one in the crowd claimed it, it obviously came from one Cass Cassell. That is maybe the best line I have ever heard yelled during a basketball game and its one the officials have no idea what to do with. Can you warn a coach for  blessing a cow. "OK coach if you bless cows one more time you are out of here. No it just doesn't happen that way.
I guess soccer comes next. Hopefully I will be writing about a W
