How about the best of the defensive lineman names-BJ Hammer, not to mention his younger brother-Blair?

Hurrt is tremendous for a linebacker. Hammer sounds a lot better with BJ than Blair, IMHO.

Rowan linebacker Moe Ghotok (Go-toc)  With a name like that, what else would he be? 

gordonmann

King's quarterback: Olayinka Soda

For some reason, it's tough say his last name without the first when doing play-by-play.

K-Mark:
For 7 straight seasons the Hammer brothers spent their games in the opponents backfields terrorizing quarterbacks and running backs for Wabash.  I don't think the opponents much cared whether it was number 91 or number 54.  Between the two, they compiled 103 tackles for loss and 55 quarterback sacks (58 if you include the 2000 Aztec Bowl and the 2003 Charity Bowl in Vienna Austria).  The sacks are evenly split at 27.5 a piece.  Few Wabash fans will forget BJ's 15.5 sack season in 2000, or Blair's "Great Sack Attack" in the playsoffs against Wittenberg in 2002 - a sack causing a fumble with Wabash scoring on the next play, followed on Wittenberg's next offense play by another sack, with Blair grabbing the ball from the quarterback, and  "rumblin, bumblin' stumblin" in for a touchdown all within 40 seconds.  The one season that they played together was for the Little Giants and they combined for 20 sacks.  Although, there was one high school game where Blair's high school team was visiting Terre Haute South Vigo High School and at least the spectre of BJ was in the game.  Blair had multiple sacks that evening, and each time the Terre Haute field announcer (obviously a Wabash fan) would duly announce "Sack by Beee Jay... Hammer" in the style of the Wabash field announcer.  At then end of the game, Blair said that he kept looking for his brother.  At the end of the day, opponents didn't care which Hammer had "hammered" them, they just felt like they had been run over by a truck in a red jersey.

I may have posted this before - and maybe not. However, it is worth reposting if I did. When I played HS ball we played Shelby High School every year. They had a DB and NG named Shawn Bonecutter and Brad Butcher respectively. No joke - I still remember hearing the announcer calling out "tackle by Bonecutter and Butcher".
