Or getting an opportunity to work with sophomore Nikki Jenkins after coaching Jenkins' mother, Carolyn, at Fauquier. The other thing I like is they might not be the greatest athlete, but they're having fun. The joy they have coaching helped the Walls attract their two daughters to the program, senior Kye and freshman Caitlyn. Their son, Josh, ran for his parents his junior and senior years. He also ran cross country for his father as a senior.
Some coaches do it just to do something, but they enjoy it.
They like working with kids. I guess they just have fun, that's what it's all about. Besides coaching and teaching, the Walls spend a lot of time working on their farm, West Ridge Farm. They bought the 130-acre cattle farm near Catlett in 1993 after taking over its management in 1984. The family raises beef cattle, with 68 registered Angus cows and calves on site.
