Volleyball 🏐 Central : Callie Harris and the Lady Panthers roll out their fall schedule 📅
Vicky Town, in a word, is magical 🎩 and yesterday we were blessed to have her join us at Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 practice…
Vicky Town has been blessed 🙌 with a special gift 🎁 and those who interact with her rejoice in the fact that she chooses to use her powers for good !
Vicky is keeping busy this time of the year as the Fair is drawing near ➕️ there are plans for a two day event on The Hill in early November ( 6th & 7th).
I first met Vicky a year ago when Coach Vickey Ritchie invited her out to entertain our group of folks, so I had the benefit of knowing what to expect, but it was still a priceless experience to see 👀 the pure joy that appeared on the faces of everyone inside the circle 🔵.
Vicky also triggered a Vickey moment that will lead to a spinoff story about Mr Samuel Collins that will be shared later.
While I pride myself on being able to create a memorable moment, Vicky has the ability to reach inside and bring a story to life right before your very eyes 👀.
It is my understanding that the dessert 🍨 will take place after the performance of the children’s version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Whether you see her at the Fair or in early November down on Main Street, if you have an opportunity to see Vicky work her magic 🎩, you will be better for it !
Getting ready for a new week, and there are some dates sprinkled across the calendar 📅. We start off with the Morning 🌄 Brew !
Proverbs 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
This Thursday night, we will be back in the gymnasium on The Hill as Cindy Edwards and Company will be hosting our second and final volleyball 🏐 scrimmage.
Friday afternoon will take us down to Dodson, North Carolina, for a cross-country kickoff event that includes all four of the teams that Shawn Montgomery is responsible for this fall.
Saturday night 🌙 will include a stop ✋️ at Bill Worrell Field as our baseball coach, Casey Burcham, is hosting another combination Home Run Derby and Alumni Game.
Sunday afternoon, it is back to Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 for the next Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 practice.
Currently sitting a few stories behind, including one on :
Get out there and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
Here is the unique stat that might very well stand the test of time !!!
Yesterday afternoon, when a St Louis Cardinals rookie hit one out of Wrigley Field in his first three MLB at bats, it was quickly announced that was the first time in t.
he history of MLB baseball ⚾️. We have been playing the game for quite some time ⌛️ so that is quite impressive……
.
I immediately thought about how coololm it would be to receive a paycheck for doing the research and fact-checking for a living. Then I switched over to thinking about any fun Fact that I was familiar with that might stand the test of time.
Chris Dodson, pictured above, has captured SEVEN State Championships at Spotswood High School. He has been flirting with number eight for a bit now with his Lady Trailblazers.
Alan Knight, in the middle of the photo, also has SEVEN State Championships at Page County High School. Knight has been flirting with number eight over the past few years as well with his softball Lady Panthers.
Back in the day, Dodson was a student in a class being taught by Knight at Page County High School. I will leave it up to the two legends to discuss how the class went for the student and the teacher.
So, I think that we might have the only teacher – student combination that went on to collect 14 rings 💍 across four sports. Dodson 6 in Girls Hoops and 1 in Boys while Knight has 4 in Volleyball 🏐 and 3 in softball.
Dodson also just joined Knight in the no longer teaching but still coaching category. Both men will continue to chase #8 ( or 15, depending upon how you are counting ).
I consider myself fortunate to have spent time around both ends of this dynamic duo !
This is what you do ahead of a Doctors visit, and you have four months of bad decisions to atone for…
Treadmill visit 4 of 4 (60:01) took place in Laurel Fork, after practice…….
Four hours, four venues, three states, and two tired legs 🦵. Plus, the 2 hours at Hillsville Elementary School with Vickey.
It is certainly a first-time day, and here in a bit, there are a couple of stories to write ✍️….
Editors note 📝📋, next time, don’t cut it so close….
