Wrapup:

*********
Wilson's home diamond was officially named "Bo Bowers Stadium"
and dedicated on May 12, 2005 in honor of former coach Charles "Bo" Bowers'
30+ years of service to the WMHS baseball program, including 29 as head coach
(1972-2000) when he guided the Hornet varsity to over 350 wins. He was honored by the VHSL and Va. High School Coaches Association
for induction into the state High School Hall of Fame in October 2006
taking his place among the state's elite. He was also selected the next
year for the Athletic Hall of Fame at Virginia Commonwealth University. Now
retired, coach Bowers lives in Harrisonburg.
The facility received a much-needed facelift in 2005 for the first time since 1988. This project was spearheaded by community
leaders Wendell Coleman and Jeff Moore.
During a 17-year span (1990-2006), Wilson teams had
earned 270 victories and lost only 104. Wilson
Memorial remains one of only three Group A schools to have won the state
baseball championship more than twice since 1970. J.J. Kelly-Wise has nine
and former Region B school Goochland won its third in 2006. Under the
long-time tenure of coach Bowers, the Hornets captured the titles in 1977,
1980 & 1990. They also qualified for state play in '91, '98, & '99 and
again in 2002.
