You’ve GOT to write a post and tell this story.

If we’re dropping names, please don’t forget my fellow Virginian and the GBYLA’s full-time league executive director, Hunter Faulconer (UVA grad and HS All-American from St. Anne’s-Belfield in Charlottesville). In ’98 and ’99, I coached the only middle-school team in the state (there was a high-school JV team as well) because their coach had a fellowship in Australia. We traveled to Nashville, Atlanta, and Chattanooga for games. Then I got married, fell out of the league, got divorced, then started coaching again two years ago when a team showed up in my neighborhood park (Birmingham Magic club; defunct Hayes High School team that was scattered to Ramsay, Woodlawn, and Carver). Last year I was at Oak Mountain Middle School with Hunter (who was helping this community start their programs), and this year I’m with Altamont’s boys varsity program (conveniently located between my neighborhood and where I work). Look for Huntsville to continue blowing up as the game spreads outside the Birmingham metro area. Chris Cos runs the Bamalax select program and word on the street has it that Andy Bonasara (coach at Birmingham Southern University) is running a SECOND select program in Birmingham. BTW, I should send a shout-out to the dudes in Prattville (outside Montgomery) and Dauphine (outside Mobile) who are growing the game!

A guy by the name of Chris Cos (Hoover) in Birmingham relly pushed lax in the area about 7 years ago. With the help of Tom Lewis (Mountain Brook) and the Birmingham Men’s Club team they have really grown tremendously. They made a good effort to get involved with both college teams, Alabama and Auburn, and I know alot of players from those schools and the HS kids play with the men’s team during the summer, so alot of these kids are paing lax year round.
