Former BCA coach motivates everyone
HARD WORK

Recent Winder-

School gradu
ates Dalton Carter
(TOP) and Travis
Demeritte (LEFT)
were both selected
in the Major League
Baseball draft last
week. Carter was
selected by the
Cincinnati Reds
while Demeritte
was taken in the
first round by the
Texas Rangers.
Both are expected
to forego college
and begin playing
professionally.

Smith said it is ironic the
way Carter was noticed by
the scouts.
“Travis was under the
microscope all year and
he handled that pressure
extremely well,” the coach
said. “For Dalton, it was a
case of being in the right
place at the right time. It
is something Dalton has
Stoudenmire, who previ
ously coached at WBHS in
the late 80s through the early
90s, said it will take some
time for the current wrestlers
to get adjusted to his coach
ing style.
“When we starting doing
summer work at Apalachee,
it took a year or two for
the wrestlers to realize the
benefits of it,” Stoudenmire
said. “It will take some time
worked very hard for.”
Smith said Monday while
nothing was official, he
believes both Demeritte and
Carter are going to sign con
tracts with their respective
professional organzations.
“I am so proud of them
for everything they have
put in,” Smith said while
in Mississippi with the
to get everyone on the same
page. Working this summer
allows the wrestlers to know
what I expect. It’s definitely
a good chance to get a jump
on what we will do during
the season.”
Stoudenmire will coach
wrestling exclusively at
WBHS, similar to his role
at AHS. He replaces Jason
Austin, who directed the Mat
Bulldoggs for the past two
Diamond Doggs for a sum
mer camp. “Our players who
are at this camp now can see
what happens when you put
in the necessary hard work.
It all goes back to the dedi
cation in practice and the
work in the weight room.
Dreams can happen if you
work for it. It's something
which should motivate us.”
seasons. Stoudenmire actu
ally coached Austin as well
as WBHS wrestling assistant
Kevin Senior during his first
stint at the school.
WBHS officials are still
in the process of hiring a
new varsity boys basketball
coach and a new athletic
director/assistant principal.
I t’s funny how things work
out.
When I first began working in
a sports writer-coach environ
ment with Nick Pou, it
could be said I struck
out. I had attempted
to contact the new
Bethlehem Christian
Academy baseball
coach leading into
the 2012 season, but
despite several swings,
kept coming up empty.
Eventually, I knew
something had to
change. I wanted to
provide coverage of
his team, but I needed
to be able to talk with
the young head coach.
Finally, we got things squared
away and a strong working rela
tionship was formed.
By the time the 2013 sea
son arrived, our paper was
the only one covering BCA
baseball. Eventually, others
would join the party, but the
Barrow Journal was there every
step of the way for the Knights’
historic state championship sea
son.
In the two years covering
BCA. Pou and I became friends
I’d say. I certainly had no trou
ble getting in touch with him
Coach
from IB
May will teach middle school
physical education in his role at
BCA.
BCA headmaster Rhonda
Whiting said she was happy to
have May as part of the school
and its athletic program.
“Colby not only brings to
BCA a strong experience level
in baseball, he also brings
the academic and servant
heart component that is part
of the full mission of BCA,”
Whiting said. “He was named
to the UGA Athletic Director’s
Academic Honor Roll and to
the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Serving others is a key compo
nent at BCA and Colby during
his career at UGA was named
to the SEC Community Service
Team as well. BCA is looking
forward to Coach May joining
our family.”
May is a graduate of South
Effingham High School where
he played for Tony Kirkland
and earned four varsity base
ball letters and one football
letter.
He batted .451 with eight
home runs and 36 RBI and was
All-Region as a senior.
anymore. Texts, emails, phone
calls and in-person talks were
now the norm. When his team
was playing on the road, I could
always count on infor
mation about how the
Knights did.
Pou immediately
connected with the
young players at BCA
and helped mold them
into winners. He would
be the first to tell you
that it takes talent to
be successful in base
ball. No doubt that’s
true. However, don’t
underestimate the role
Pou had in taking the
Knights to the top of the
mountain this spring.
A parent from an opposing
team said he has never seen a
baseball coach who brought as
much knowledge to the sport as
Pou did.
“In watching him, I see
how a coach is supposed to go
about his business,” the parent
said. "You can’t help but be
impressed with him."
Pou has decided to move on
to the next chapter in his coach
ing career and while it was not
a surprise, it was somewhat of
a letdown for yours truly. Pou’s
enthusiasm for what he does
had an effect on me. While I
did not play on his team, just
being around the coach helped
re-energize me in what I do for
a living.
Yes, following a winning
team is always more fun than
watching one struggle, but there
was more to it than that.
Pou is clearly in the right
roles of teacher, coach and men
tor. He has the right approach
in what he does and he will
certainly be missed by the BCA
baseball program and the entire
BCA family.
I look forward to seeing how
Pou does in his new challenge.
My money says he will do well.
Perhaps I should guarantee
he will succeed again on the
grounds I will eat my hat if he
doesn’t. That guarantee from
a previous column brought a
laugh from the coach.
Baseball won’t be the same
without watching Pou at his
craft next season, but he has left
BCA with a legacy which will
last from now on. Good luck
Coach and keep sending those
updates.
