The
Prater’s Creek High Polecats have run up a 10-0 record, relying on the arm
of left-hander Jeremy
White, who has eight complete game shutouts. White worked real hard and got
that D average in his schoolwork he needed in order to play this, his junior
season. At yesterday’s game, against the Liberty Red Devils, there were
scouts from 22 different big colleges and 14 from the major leagues.
But Jeremy is not letting this success
and fame go to his head. “Nah, my mama and daddy won’t let me get a swelled
head”, White told the Gazette. “They make sure I do all my chores and do my
homework. I gotta keep the barn shoveled out and I gotta keep that D average. I’m working real hard in math. My
teacher is showing me how to figure out my ERA and my batting average.”
The Polecats are at Riverside High’s
Reservation tomorrow. The game will be a matchup between number 1 and number
2 state ranked teams, and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
Riverside High School is fast
becoming more of a bitter rival to the Polecats in all sports than Irmo
High. Jeremy’s father told me that “them Riverside boys better just stay at
home in Sugar Creek listening to them there I-peds! We gonna smoke ‘em!”

White is not the only famous athlete these days at Prater’s Creek High
School. None other than Emma Watson, Hermione of the Harry Potter movies, is
participating in an exchange student program and is attending Prater’s Creek
High this semester. The British sixteen-year-old is also playing on the Lady
Polecats field hockey team. The team is in their second season and, like
their inaugural season, all home games are sold out. With Watson on the
team, ticket holders have been offered as much as $1,000 for a single game’s
ticket. Myrtle Hanson got mad at her husband, Doyle, a season ticket holder,
ogling the plaid skirted young ladies and sold his tickets for thirty
thousand dollars on eBay. The season tickets have a face value of $30.
Towel boy,er man, Chester Smith says “I just like to wipe the sweat off of
her brow. Sold one of them towels on eBay for $2500!”

Banquet
The Greenville, SC Chapter of the National Wild Turkey
Federation will hold their annual Hunting Heritage Super Fund-raising
Wednesday, March 28 at 6 PM at the St. George Hellenic Center.
This is the third year of the Greenville chapter and also the third annual
banquet. The event starts at 6 PM with cocktails, live and silent auctions,
and bluegrass by Prater’s Creek’s own The Drovers Old
Time Medicine Show. Dinner is at 7:30 PM.
The NWTF banquets are where you can buy exclusive merchandise and have a
great time with friends. All the while, you will be raising vital funds for
wild turkey conservation and important programs that introduce the outdoors
to women, children and the disabled.
Grandpa, of The Drovers
Old Time Medicine Show, says, “we always have a good time playing for
those folks. You couldn’t meet a bunch of nicer people. Game wardens,
hunters, and a lot of real nice stuff for auction, and given away in
raffles. Rifles, decoys, hunting clothes and boots, ATVs, all sort of
stuff!” Uncle Carl says “I’m gonna win me a
rifle raffle one of these banquets!” Cousin Ray
says, “the big dinner is my favorite prize! I win every year!”
Dalvin says “I like the auctioneer, I’d like to
be one myself. ’10, 20, 30, 40 Do I hear 50,60….Sold for $60!’ See, I could
do it!”
