Corona High baseball coaches have been joking about seeking an NIL deal for sophomore pitcher Chris Woodson regarding his hair that moves in many directions while blowing in the wind as he tries to keep his hat on. <\/p>\n
Think former NFL star Troy Polamalu, who has been featured in Head & Shoulders shampoo commercials showing off his hair.<\/p>\n
When Woodson and Corona Santiago\u2019s Striker Pence were facing each other on Wednesday, it was the battle for hair supremacy. Pence still has blond hair sticking out from the back of his hat after he recently got his hair cut.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and his dad are both bald and both had hair when we were young,\u201d Corona coach Andy Wise said of Woodson. \u201cWe\u2019re both not letting him cut it. It\u2019s flowing. He has a 4.0 GPA and is an awesome kid that everyone loves.\u201d<\/p>\n
During his days coaching at Granada Hills, starting in the 1970s, Darryl Stroh used to require players to cut their hair to a certain length. Think Army.<\/p>\n
As long as Woodson isn\u2019t distracted, Wise is fine with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe yourself kid,\u201d he tells him.<\/p>\n
