This reminder that this Saturday local Professional Bullriding hero Chris Shivers from Jonesville will mount &uot;Little Yellow Jacket&uot; the Bull in a television feature.

The bull is supposed to be as good as the rider in this case, if not better. But you’re monkeying with the fightin’ side of the Miss-Lou when you’re acting like Chris might not be able to ride any bull. All kiddin’ aside, Little Yellow Jacket has a reputation good as Chris’.

At any rate, if you like the PBR Circuit, remember it’s on NBC at 3 p.m. and coming from Colorado Springs, Colo., April 19. Bullriding fans, and just plain Miss-Lou fans will want to check this one out. Yep, Chris Shivers is the Miss-Lou man of the hour!

Canada sent its links hero down to Augusta to showplace Canada in professional golf’s biggest show. That would be Mike Weir, plus &uot;our’ man Tiger Woods, who not unlike what happens all along with links contestants, played good but not good enough to grab his third straight green jacket.

It required a seven-under to tie for the lead in the pretty and &uot;green&uot; Masters, and Weir was up to it. Come here, Green Jacket. Mike won a cool $1,080,000! He can go all the way through Canada on that! And he might need that green jacket in the cooler climate.

Weir, again, was up to making crucial putts Sunday in Augusta. Isn’t that usually the story? Over the final seven holes Weir stood over crucial putts. All seven dropped; ice water! Len Mattiace held Weir’s feet to the fire, but the &uot;Weir&uot; and tare finally got to Mattiace. Money bags Weir.

Roy Garcia and Henry &uot;Doc&uot; Woods &045; truly a legendary pair of coaches in Natchez &045; are close to being inducted into Mississippi’s prestigious Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame. The date will be July 11, and I’m personally giddy about it.

Coach Woods has been around awhile, and coaching excellence long ago became his trademark. He was a track coach’s coach whose squads won 641 meets over his career for an 82 percent winning mark.

While coaching at Sadie V. Thompson, coach Woods’ track teams won a staggering total of 641 meets. That was over a period of 40 years and it included boys and girls track meets. At Sadie V., he was District Coach of the Year 13 straight years. Then he just kept on winning at Sadie V. Coach Woods always had it and so did his track teams. Hats off to a good ‘un &045; Henry &uot;Doc&uot; Woods.

Don’t sell coach Garcia short, either. The little man with big leadership qualities &uot;warmed up&uot; three years at Greenville St. Joseph then devoted his life to Cathedral school some 35 years.

One naturally thinks football and basketball when the word &uot;coaching&uot; comes up, but Roy Garcia coached it all at CHS. He coached tennis, football, basketball, golf, softball and track there. And coached well, I proudly remind.

Tennis was his tall suit, however. In the 70’s at CHS, coach Garcia fielded championship tennis squads one right behind the other. No wonder CHS’s gym is named in his honor.

Two greater coaches than Woods and Garcia could not be honored with Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame induction. No way. Congratulations to both.
