Five Good Minutes with Alan Knight and his Lady Panthers Softball program, after a wild one versus East Rock 🪨 on Thursday afternoon

The first time around for Coach Knight and Company against neighboring East Rock created the question of how many times in 45 years has PCHS been on the wrong end of a run rule shortened game ?

East Rock 🪨 scored early and often on its way to a lopsided 15-2 victory at Alan Knight Field just a few weeks ago. Yesterday proved to be a different story as the Lady Panthers jumped out to a big lead and held on for a thrilling 14-11 road victory.

The home team trimmed the lead to 12-11 with a big rally in the bottom of the sixth before Page County answered with two insurance runs 🏃‍♀️ in the seventh to secure its second victory of the week.

No rest, though, as Rappahannock High is the opponent today as Page County looks for a three game sweep of the week !

Earlier in the week, PCHS won a pitchers duel against Strasburg 1-0. The Lady Panthers only scratched out two hits against the Rams 🐏 but fortunately, one of them cleared the fence for the games only run !

Stay tuned !

Welcome 🙏 to Friday of spring break week, where it’s Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ and anything else that makes it to the Inbox 📥

Pop Quiz : Which part of this story is cooler ? The fact that three players from The Hill who played under two coaches as Cavaliers are now playing as teammates on a team ranked in the Nation’s Top 20 !

It’s a trick question because everything about this story is AWESOME !

Sophomore Lance Burnett recently took over the top spot in All-Time wins at the school 🏫 and now the program sits at #14 in the Country !

Burnett played in the final season of Kevin DeHaven being at the helm while Reece and Berrier graduated 🎓 from the first year of Casey Burcham as Head Coach.

Upcoming schedule for the Muskies, and you will notice games slated for both Dublin and Pulaski !

Congratulations, fellas, and thank you for representing Cav Nation in such a great manner !

Only 30 days left until I reach the ultimate goal of 1,000 straight days of creating kindness !!!!

It’s time to get in the Trax and head to West Virginia Tech University for our weekend series, and I will take a step back and reflect on the thought process which led to being stuck in the most bizarre traffic jam yesterday afternoon.

Dude just wouldn’t move out of the way.

The five minutes of stoppage time led to looking at my phone at the 11,000 + pictures stored on it.

The one of Macie Adkins and Emma Leath was near the top. Plus, there was a note 📝 on my green bar where Brittany Kinney let me know that the young lady standing next to Adrienne the other night was Karmen Smith.

Per the norm, my stories are created with just a handful of people in mind. What happens from there just depends on what the recipient chooses to do with it.

So, Karmen, Macie, and Emma were written about because I didn’t know how to move a small cow out of my way….

Three more Carroll County High School success stories and one more opportunity to show appreciation for everything that Principal Chuck Thompson & company do on a daily basis !

Now, if someone reading this knows someone connected to the FBLA of Carroll County, I hear they have a big weekend coming up and I would love to chronicle it from Beckley.

It’s time to get the drive started and know that I thought about having the two stories being one and calling 📞 it the one about the Cow 🐄  but thought through it!
