From throwing bags between games at River City Social to taking down the King Seat at his first ACL Regional! 🏆 This Player Spotlight goes to Brody Woodard. He showed us all what true sportsmanship, poise, and competitive fire look like at the Richmond Regional.

Brody might not be a household name for a lot of you playing ACL locally or regionally just yet, but he will be. I’ve known Brody for a while through playing social leagues with his family over at River City Social. For years, I’ve watched this kid grow up, just throwing bags between games, mixing it up with anyone willing to play, and soaking up every tip he could get.

When I saw him walk into the Baggin Rights Regional, I knew his game had been rapidly improving, and I was really curious to see how he’d handle the pressure of his first regional. Well, he didn't just handle it—he came out firing. I was watching the stats: he drops a 7.4 to knock down his first opponent, then follows it up with a 7.1 in his second game before he finally matched up against Lynn and me.

And I’ll be honest, at one point, Lynn and I had them down 18 to 8. We were in control. But then, we hit an absolute wall and could not get off 18. And here is what stood out to me more than the stats: throughout that entire comeback, Brody was relentlessly upbeat. Even down by ten points, he was constantly encouraging his partner. At one point, he actually turned to me and said he thought Lynn and I were the team to beat. I chuckled a bit, and he asked me who I actually thought the best team in the room was. I looked right at him, pointed to another team across the way, and said, 'Honestly? I think you might be the team to beat. But you’re going to have to beat them to win it all.'

And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. Brody rallied, took the King Seat, and ended up facing that exact team in the championship. Watching him walk out, his smile was as big as that trophy.

Brody showed a level of poise, sportsmanship, and pure pride that, frankly, quite a few grown players could learn a thing or two from. So, a massive congratulations to Brody from the entire Throw it Back crew. You earned it!

Oh, and Brody? One more thing... I absolutely cannot wait for our rematch."

Let’s talk local B**r League social co****le. Because midsummer, a new contender popped up on the radar, and they are doing it exactly right. I’m talking about BadassSports&Rec. This isn't your stuffy, high-stress grind. This is a true b**r league geared entirely toward social interaction, tipping back a few cold ones, and flat-out good fun. Lynn and I have thrown in this league for its first two seasons alongside our usual crew of misfits—the same group we’ve been playing social leagues with for eight solid years. Here’s the breakdown. Bad Ass runs a seven-week schedule, capped off with playoffs. You bring a team of six or more folks. Every week, you play five , 15 minute rounds, consisting of two games per round. Best of 10 wins the day. The beauty of it? You’re in and out in about an hour. They have built a format that accommodates absolutely everyone—from the absolute beginner just looking to drink and hang with friends, to the advanced player wanting some live reps. And let me tell you, one of the things that seriously impressed me was the equipment. We are talking custom, competition-level boards. They aren't cutting corners just because it's a social league. Now, those first two seasons? We were grinding it out in the great outdoors, throwing right there in the parking lot at Industrial Taphouse West. But as we look down the barrel of fall and winter, I just got the word: they are taking the operation indoors, and they are moving to a spot we are all incredibly familiar with— Huddle Up Sports Bar right in Ashland. High ceilings, plenty of room and most importantly, rain is no longer a factor. Mother Nature is officially benched. They’ll be running these leagues on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Which brings me to the real reason we're talking about this today. I am throwing the gauntlet down. It would be absolutely awesome to see some of these local RVA clubs—I’m looking directly at Baggin Rights Co****le, Hot Boys, Top Gunners, Poolside Baggers, and Caroline Co****le League —get out from behind those keyboards, step up to the boards, and throw down for seven weeks. Let’s find out who the best of the best really is. You never know… Throw it Back just might bring a little something to the table, too. We may be cooking up an OG team I think can stand with the best of ya. Tuesday nights would be perfect for all you Big Dogs to come out and prove it before heading over to Caroline on Wednesdays. That is, of course, if Ashland isn't quote-unquote "Too Far" for you. So let’s go, get your squad together, get signed up, and let’s figure out who the best club in the RVA area really is.

Let’s get into it, because a lot of questions were answered for me this weekend.

I know what we were all thinking: Will there even be an ACL season? What’s going to be the local impact with all the noise and drama surrounding the league right now?

Well folks, we just had our first regional right here in Richmond, Virginia—something we have been wanting and waiting on for years—and it delivered. Huge shoutout to Jamal Moore and Baggin Rights Co****le League for making it happen.

We showed up, and let me tell you, the venue was fantastic. We’re talking climate-controlled, lit up perfectly, with 26 brand-new boards lined up in flawless rows down an artificial turf field. The vibe? Incredible. We had new faces, we had familiar faces, and everyone showed up with one single goal: to play.

And what about all that league drama? Crickets. I didn't hear a bunch of chatter about it at all. The only real difference this year was paying right there at the venue and walking out with cold, hard cash if you won. Now, I don't win anyway, so it was business as usual for yours truly!

Let’s talk results. Doubles kicked off first, and Team Harris took home a solid 5th place with a 2-and-2 record in Tier 4. My girl Lynn Harris? Throwing straight fire. And I actually managed to do a bit better than my average!

Tier 4 singles, on the other hand... that was a slightly different story. Lynn balled out and finished 4th. I finished a very underwhelming 16th. Hey, we can't all be heroes.

But stepping back, I feel really, really good about the state of this ACL season. This first regional felt like it was run by a director with years of experience, and we are already looking forward to the next one.

I will leave you with this one crucial piece of advice—a lesson I learned the hard way this week: Do not play co****le on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday before a big Saturday regional. At least, not if you're an old man like me! My arm was cooked.

But as for the ACL season? I think we’re going to be just fine. Play on, players. and thanks SEVA Co****le for making an awesome bag and supporting the Richmond ACL Regional and us

Does Caroline Co****le still haunt *your* dreams? Because for a long, long time, it haunted mine.

Let me take you back about eleven years. I had just moved into my hood, and it was a hood full of guys who played co****le every single weekend. Out in the street, over at the pool, it didn't matter where. I didn't actually play the game at the time, but I figured it was a great way to meet some cool guys, drink a few b**rs, and hang out. I was basically the last kid picked at kickball, but I played with them every weekend and honestly just had a blast doing it.

Well, these guys were good and still are to this day. And one day, they decided to drag me up to play at the Caroline County Moose Lodge.

Now, back then, I didn't know there was such a thing as the ACL or ACO, or that competitive co****le was as big as it was. So here I am, stepping into Caroline, throwing maybe a 4 or 5 PPR in a room full of guys who seemingly never, ever missed. I think I went up there a total of four times before the humiliation just completely took over. Even today, that lodge is known as the house where the big dogs play. People stay away because, quote, "they are all *good*."

And I stayed away too. I was terrified of facing the humiliation as that guy who was throwing 4s at the Caroline blind draw back in 2017.

Fast forward to last Friday. We were in an absolute drought of co****le. We got rained out on Wednesday, there was nothing happening on Thursday, and our absolute last ray of hope for Friday at the East Richmond Moose announced they were moving their play to... you guessed it... Caroline.

Once again, Lynn and I are in the car trying to talk our way out of it. I'm explaining my absolute horror to her—the tight quarters, the noise, the fact that everyone in that building throws 13s. But we were thirsty to throw some bags, so we walked through those doors anyway.

And you know what? A lot of the guys from when I was there in 2017 were still there. They remembered me—which was exactly what I feared—but they actually welcomed us. They greeted us right away. Megan remembered me and couldn't believe it had been nine whole years.

We played, and we had an incredibly great time. Lynn finished 5th for her first time ever in that building! As for me... well, I went 0 and 2. But hey, I didn't throw 3s and 4s! Faced with all the anxiety from my past visits, I actually think I played pretty well.

I left laughing, and honestly, a little upset that I had let my nightmares keep me from coming back for so long. The Caroline Co****le League and the Moose Lodge is not the place of horrors I built it up to be in my head. Don't get me wrong, they are all still *scary* good, but the people there are some of the nicest Co****le OGs around.

I hate that I never gave it another chance sooner, but we will absolutely be back. And who knows, maybe it's time I drag the guys who originally drug me up there back as well. Maybe it's time they go back and experience the house where the big dogs play. Caroline Co****le League, SEVA Co****le,

Hey everybody Jon here. I have to be honest, I am still amazed by this. I really am. We have got to talk about what happened when Lynn and I went down to Emerald Isle.

Look, you guys know Lynn and me. We throw a lot of bags up here around Richmond, but blind draws... they are still slightly out of our comfort zone. It's a confidence thing, more or less. Walking into a strange location, right into a local scene where you don't know a single soul—it's tough. We were at the Emerald Club, and Crystal Coast Co****le was hosting. I kid you not, I think we tried to talk ourselves out of it at least three times. But we finally just said, "Let's go."

And I am so glad we did, because here is the kicker: **The blind draw was FREE.**

You heard me right. Absolutely free to enter. The venue itself put up the prize money, and the final payout was determined by how many players showed up to throw. The Emerald Club simply wanted the business. They wanted bodies in the door, they wanted people grabbing drinks, and they wanted a good vibe. And it worked perfectly.

There was zero drama. Nobody was groaning or rolling their eyes about drawing the out-of-town vacationers as partners. Honestly, I have never felt more welcome at a blind draw anywhere.

Sam Shipp over at Bust You Up Co****le. He started doing this thing years ago, and I still think about it because it is just brilliant. As someone who has spent years directing events and managing leagues, seeing this model in action really makes you pause.

Imagine that partnership. A venue puts up maybe two hundred bucks on a weeknight to guarantee a crowd that is going to increase their bar sales all night. From the player's perspective, it costs you zero dollars to throw, so what do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing. It pulls people in who might otherwise sit on the fence—like Lynn and I almost did.

It really begs the question: Are the Emerald Club and Crystal Coast Co****le doing it exactly right, and the rest of us have been doing it wrong all along?
