When it comes to Joplin quarterback Always Wright, the Eagles are never wrong

Special to the News-Leader

OZARK — He has the best name in Missouri sports, and it looks like he can add one of the best offenses to that resume.

His name is Always Wright, and he’s looked just like that this year. He’s the quarterback of a Joplin offense sitting at 3-0 after a 42-7 defeat of Ozark, and two signature wins over Webb City and Nixa.

Wright said the unique name has never been an issue. He’s had a few jokes made at his expense, but nothing he would qualify as malicious.
