Edwai'd Jr. has beep coming up with plays with little buttons and plastic foot ball figures since he was a child. ‘When we were little, when everybody got gifts fer Christmas they’d give me different col ored buttons and football men and basketballs because that’s what I epjoyed doing,” he said. Even though he could see the writing on the wall to be a coach, Edward Jr. or “Little Buck” said it took him a year oi* so to heed the calling. ‘T tried to fight it, but I came back and start ed doing it and I love it,” he said. Edward Jr. said his only coaching influence come fiom the senior Joyners and he can see their stjdes in his. The fire comes fiom his dad. From his uncle, there’s calnmess. “If you look at what they’ve both done and the situations that they’ve overcome, they’ve both done great jobs,” Edward the younger said. “If I ever get my own opportunity I can mirror at leeist some of what they’ve done.” JCSUs head women’s coach Vanessa Thylor already thinks Edward Jr. is on the path to succ^s, “As a coach he’s very vital to what we’re doing with the women’s program. We’re kind of like salt and pepper we work well together,” she said, “If I didn’t have him with me it would be extremely hard, I don’t think we would be where we are today as a program.” The senior Joyners said watching their sons take part in the family business is inspiring, “It’s always inspiiing to see young people fol lowing in your steps and doing well,” Steve Sr. said. “It makes me feel extremely proud,” Exlward the elder said. But Edward Sr. doesn’t expect an all-Joyner coaching staff “I’m about ready to retire,” he said. “But I wish it possibly could.” Virginia State’s cheerleaders, the Woo Woos, have much to cheer for in the Trojans’ 78-69 win over Fayetteville State in the first round of the men’s tournament PHOTO/WADE NASH FRANKLY SPEAKING AT CIAA ESPN basketball analyst and talk show host Stephen A.
