Prayer Circle πŸ”΅

We actually won the battle of points, just not in games.

What could be for fun than Volleyball 🏐 Math ? It’s as simple as 4/3/2/1 = HUGE WEEK for our Lady Cavaliers !

[4] Over the next four days…. In the span of just over 72 hours…

[3] Three matches will be played ▢️ by our [2] two teams, making it a crucial period for our [1] program !

The journey begins with the trip up Highway 100 for the rematch with Pulaski County. We split with the Cougars when they visited The Hill earlier this season.

No rest for the weary as the teams will return to The Hill for the night, wake up to attend classes, and then head over to Bassett High School 🏫 for yet another early season rematch with the Bengals. Both Cindy Edwards and Nikki Heflin coached their ways to a sweep back on The Hill.

Wednesday night πŸŒ™ is the break in the week, and then we welcome πŸ™ the Lady Buffaloes πŸƒ to The Hill on Thursday night !!! The dream here is that our incredibly jacked athletic director, Kevin DeHaven, shows off his muscles by cranking out the second set of bleachers to make room for the overwhelming crowd !!!

See πŸ‘€, that line works better if you say shows off his guns, but any mention of that in relation to a school 🏫 is the wrong path to go down.

In a perfect world 🌎, our Lady Cavaliers finish Thursday night at 10-2 and then celebrate πŸ₯³ on Friday night by attending the football 🏈🏈🏈 Homecoming festivities !

Dublin, Bassett, and finally back to The Hill….piece of cake πŸŽ‚….

Let’s Do This….

Monday wouldn’t be Monday without our Morning Brew !

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Cindy Edwards and Company will make the short drive πŸš— up Highway 100 to Dublin tonight to take on the Pulaski County High School Cougars.

The action 🎬 is set to begin at 5:30 with the JV match.

Have a Blessed Day πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‡πŸ™

The time has arrived to roll out the knowledge about our plans for the Alumni Game next Sunday afternoon !

The home team will be made up of Lady Cavaliers Softball players currently involved in our program. Freshman year through Senior Class.

The visiting team will consist of 13 former players who have worn the colors over a number of years.

During the pregame window πŸͺŸ of noon to 2 p.m., we will have the race 🏁 cars of both Trenton Newman and Dakota Walls on display and available for photos πŸ“Έ.

The photo of Dakota Walls and the Alumni group from last year belonged to the gracious Velvet Leonard !

There is no charge for admission or for the players who are set to compete. But in case you get hungry / thirsty, the Concession stand will be open for business from start to finish.

The game will be a seven inning contest, and Head Coach Rick Nester is treating the day as a pre-season opportunity to see πŸ‘€ what his Varsity and JV squads will look like.

Six Lady Cavaliers moved from the column of current players to alumni after last season, so there are larger than normal spots on the Big Club up for grabs.

The game itself will get underway shortly after 2 pm, once the introductions have been made and the National Anthem performed !

A fun day is planned for all, and the day should be a great step forward !

There might even be a Kevin Burress sighting !

Our eight week winning streak begins in just a minute… Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ practice !

  This might be the first time in our partnership with Vickey Ritchie that we ended up in the Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 gym on eight straight Sunday afternoons !

The law of averages will end the streak at some point, but not today!

” Once upon a Boo Ridge ” is today’s theme, and we have a building full of energetic people looking to enjoy each other’s company.
