In today’s print editon of SWoCo, we ran this photo by John Tyree from the Cave Spring Middle – Hidden Valley Middle volleyball game and asked: Who’s the guy in the lobster hat?

Well, silly us!

Today, we get an email from Lauren Nepper who tells us: ” I am here to tell you why that guy is wearing a lobster hat and zebra socks. He is wearing those things because he told us (the volleyball team) that if we won one of the games that he would wear the hat and soces for the rest of the game. Oh and by the way he was the volleyball coach for Cave Spring Middle School. Thanks for putting this picture in!”

And thanks, Lauren, for letting us know!
