Two things make this even better:
1) Beaver High's nickname is the Dusters.
2) This lead quote...
“We had kids sick in there,” Hooker head coach Bud Valerius said. “I really think they did a good job gutting it out.”

Bud Valerius also would make a pretty good porn star name.

This was an AP hede from last night but still quality. The hooker hede gets my vote.
