March 8th at Caraway is the first of many trips to the race track for our CCHS Sophomore !!!
What could possibly be cooler than a Dakota Walls race 🏁 car? That’s easy, two of them !
13 College Softball games in one location, spread across 4 Days leads one to ask, is this Heaven ? No, just the Campus of Utah Tech University ! Welcome 🙏 to the Beehive Classic 2026 !
Excited about this..
The State of Utah has seven D1 Colleges spread across the Beehive State. The next four days are going to be all about Softball at Karl Brooks Field.
Three games Thursday, four on both Friday and Saturday then it wraps up with two on Sunday…..
This will just be one ongoing post 📫 on this…
1st Pitch – 9:58, Game Time temp 55°
Play Ball !
Opening game has the Big 12’s Utah Utes as the home team and the Southern Utah University Thunderbirds as the visitors.
Utah plates four in the bottom of the first inning. The Utah get four runs 🏃♂️ on six hits, each of which was a laser shot.
Really appreciate the 16 Palm 🌴 Trees that surround the outfield fence !
The Ladies in Purple have arrived ! The Weber State Wildcats play ▶️ in Game 2 at 12:30 pm
Can’t help but think about both Rick Nester and Alan Knight are in the middle of tryouts back home.
End of 3rd, still 4-0
Middle of the 5th and the Utes still protecting their 4-0 lead (11:11 MT)
SUU has held their own since the bottom of the 1st, now Top 6, still 4-0.
Thunderbirds hit a solo bomb 💣 that landed in the top of one of the Palm 🌴 Trees ! 4-1
Mid 6th, 4-1 and the temperature 🌡is rising. 64 on its way to 80.
11:43 – off to the 7th inning….
Thunderbirds have been down to their last strike three times and each time they extended the game with a single! UU goes to the bullpen. Anither base knock and RBI…we got ourselves a ballgame.
Another pitching change….
Game 1 of 13 is in the Books 📚! Utah 4-9-0 over SUU 3-7- 0 ( 2 hour, 01 minutes)
11:59
1st Pitch, Take #2 – temp 70°, time 12:38 MT
The Utes bats remain hot 🔥 and they lead the Wildcats 7-1 in the fourth inning
Sitting behind the left field fence for Game 2 and just had a 2-run Homer land just over my shoulder…9-1 now and I should have caught that one.
Headed to Top 5 (1:55), Utes leading 9-1
2:01 pm – Utah Tech players are in the Hpuse
Mid 5th, same score. Quick observation, the Utes looked a foot taller than the T-Birds 🐦 and the same is true for the Wildcat players when they stand next to the Utes.
2:11 – 9/10/1, 1/4/0 is your 5-inning final under the 8-run Mercy Rule.
3:00 – Game 3 start time, final one of the day. Four each on both Friday and Saturday then two on Sunday.
Anthony Barnes announces his End of the Season Basketball Banquet 🏀 information!

Having a Banquet at the end of the season is the norm for High School and College Sports teams. There is something special about how Coach Barnes holds his, might be the Church ⛪, might be the agenda 📋 or it might just be a Family 👪 thing!
When you don’t have the Proper MOJO to chase your Goals for the Day, do it anyway !
After creating today’s Morning Brew, I told myself that the 15,000 steps 🚶♂️ weren’t going to just magically appear on the counting App.
One hour later, 6000 down and just 9000 to go. God’s scenery 🙏 helped the cause !
Just 3 random shots taken along the way.
We have reached February 26th and we can celebrate the fact that March just sounds Warmer !
We currently have 12 teams being formed right now under the watchful eyes 👀 of dedicated Coaches ! 8 Varsity and 4 Junior Varsity teams that call our four outdoor facilities Home.
Exactly half of them have Tommy Thompson Field, two play at Bill Worrell Field, two play at Cavalier Park and the final pair at the Wilkerson Tennis 🎾 Courts.
Casey Burcham and Adam Nester run our Baseball program.
Shawn Montgomery and Jon Delp run 🏃♂️ our Track and Field teams.
Forrest Johnson and Jeremy Puckett run the Boys Soccer program while Adrienne Harris McGuire and Brittany Kinney share the Pitch on the Girls side.
Rick Nester and Terry Warf have the two teams that call Cavalier Park 🏡. Mr Warf stepping in for Alexis Dalton.
That brings us to the Tennis 🎾 courts where last year Martin McKenzie and Christy Shupe led the Girls and Boys teams. Not sure yet of the official status of those two spots but hopefully will very soon.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Out here we have three things to keep an eye on today
Utah Tech is hosting Day #1 of a four day Softball tournament called the Beehive Classic. It begins at 10am each day and will include a Triple Header of action 🎬!
Once the Softball is over, Kira Lawson and Duke University Women’s Basketball will be hosting Florida State.
The nightcap will take place inside Burns Arena as the Trailblazer Men continue their pursuit of the WAC regular season crown 👑.
Should be a healthy and active day out here and here’s hoping 🙏 that each of you have a Blessed 🙌 Day!
