Morning πŸŒ„ Brew

Brittany Kinney and our JV Girls Soccer ⚽️ team get their feet wet tonight when they travel down I-81 to Abingdon for a match with the Falcons.

At Cavalier Park, Terry Warf and his JV team are set to play at home FOUR times this week, beginning with a double header today versus Tazewell High School. The first pitch is set for 5pm, and we will be rolling out the 2026 version of our Foul Ball contest that will run throughout the two five inning contests.

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us;

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Today kicks off a crazy week for us as we have multiple times to be at Cavalier Park βž•οΈ two cannot reschedule out of town appointments and the Lady Blue Devils are heading out to Sacramento for a Sweet 16 showdown with #2 LSU.

Don’t forget that the Boys Soccer teams play at home on Thursday evening as well.

Just like Sgt Pepper, we’ll get by with a little help from our friends !

Have a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ!

Next on the list of folks that were busy this weekend is Coach Vickey and our Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ program ! Fun events on both Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon !!

Crazy Socks for the Walk πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ!!

A big weekend for Carroll County Special Olympics! 29 on the New River Trail for the first CCSO Walking Club of the year on Saturday, and 33 in the gym for today’s basketball practice (β€œSpring Has Sprung!”)

    Next Saturday, CCSO will travel to the VMI basketball tournament up in Lexington (and have a small practice on Sunday).

It’s great to see strong turnouts for both events !!

The Good Book says to Love ❀️ thy neighbor….. the start of our Women’s Basketball πŸ€ doubleheader begins in neighboring Chapel Hill !

Things that make you realize that you are wired a little differently…..

Living in a World 🌎 where you don’t believe that it’s okay to ” Hate ” anyone or anything, we open our Sunday back on the Campus of UNC – Chapel Hill.

Going all the way back to the early 1980’s, I have always had an appreciation for all things Tar Heels.

Being responsible for the newspaper πŸ“° circulation on the campus for the Greensboro News and Record was a starting point to be followed by spending a semester on the same dorm floor as two kids with the last name of Jordan and Perkins. Chapel Hill is a special place with Franklin Street being a must stroll when you are here.

Moments away from the Tip of #5 Maryland and #4 UNC. Maryland was one of us for a long, long time before they bolted to the Big 10 a while back. Should be a great game to watch amongst the powder blue seats πŸ’Ί.

More to follow….
Next Stop βœ‹οΈ, 4pm
Let’s do this !
Dueling Jump Photos πŸ“Έ

Media TO at 4:26 (1), Terps 10, Heels 6

Early observation – Maryland appears to be 1 step quicker in the early minutes. Heels success has come from driving πŸš— to the glass.

Solid crowd in the Gym with the breakdown being roughly 80/20 in favor of the home team. Both teams have their Pep Bands in the house.

Brenda Frese runs a great program up in College Patk and has been doing so fir a long, long time βŒ›οΈ. She won πŸ† a Natty back in 2006.

Carolina has awakened now, and so has the crowd! End of 1st, Heels 22 – 17.

Brenda calls πŸ“ž a TO at 4:58 as her Terps are now down 11, 34 – 23.

Halftime score – UNC 42, U of M 33 (12:53)

In just a few minutes, the third team in the Triangle πŸ”ΊοΈ will tip off up in Ann Arbor versus #2 seeded Michigan. North Carolina State 🐺🦊🐺🦊🐺 looking for the upset πŸ˜‘πŸ‘€.

It’s time to make the 11 mile trek over to Cameron Indoor Stadium now while listening to the second half of the Wolfpack game.

2:11 pm – time to head over.

2:59 – safely in the parking garage on Science Drive. Michigan dominated the 3rd quarter and is bringing the Wolfpack season to an end. Solid season for NCSU and the entire roster is eligible to return.

Just over four months ago, we boarded a flight ✈️ to Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡· for the season opener of the Lady Blue Devils. The opponent that night πŸŒ™ was Baylor University. Here we are today, looking to advance to Sweet 16, and once again, it’s the Baylor University Bears 🐻 standing in the way.

Starting lineups in 20…

92 – 63 was the final score of the Michigan victory over the Wolfpack.

The announced crowd at Carmichael was 2,470. Would have thought that it was higher by a significant amount.
