Long time, tennis 🎾 coach and even longer friend Bill, ” Pappy ” Meade checks in with a unique story from the courts!
Bill Meade coaches the Boys 👦 Tennis 🎾 team at Staunton High School 🏫 and it’s always refreshing to hear from our long time. Friend and this morning he told a fun story about his teams match at Rockbridge High School.
His team was playing down in Lexington at Rockbridge County High School.
They dropped their previous match 5-4 at Alleghany High School a few days earlier and were locked 🔒 into another close battle with RCHS.
The match was all square at 4-4, and the deciding set was as back and forth as one could play. Eventually, it became too dark for the Student Athletes to see the ball , and neither team brought their glow in the dark balls, so the match was halted.
Que the famous Tom Hanks line in the movie, A League of Their Own –
Are you tying ?, There’s no tying in Tennis!!!
The match will be resumed when the two teams meet up later in the season at Mary Baldwin.
It is always great to converse with a Man 👨 who identifies with so many things that we hold near and dear to our efforts !
Thank you, Coach, for giving of your time and effort to lead our youth !
It’s Saturday morning 🌄 and we have some pretty neat people involved with some pretty neat things. Kristy Jones (funny Lady with Smart Kiddos), Marion Harris, and Vickey Ritchie are each checking ✔️ in ➕️ our Golden Bears 🐻 are playing baseball ⚾️ over in Indiana
Each of these four events will have their own post 📫 once they conclude !
We are starting a walking club for ccso today. The first walk is at Dannelly in Galax at 230 on the New River Trail. It’s world down syndrome today, so if y’all come, wear crazy socks or mismatch socks, we’re taking a picture.
Marion Harris is on his way to UVA – Wise to watch Callie Harris play Hoops !
About the funny Lady with two smart kiddos:
CCHS & CCMS have joined forces to compete in Gate City’s Scholastic tournament! Kristy had a 4:45 am. post 📫 on social media that made me laugh.
Carroll County Softball had their bats swinging Friday night in Dublin, but sadly, so did Pulaski County as the Lady Cavaliers fall 17 – 9.
Dublin – Head Coach Rick Nester spent the off-season working on having his team be more aggressive at the plate, and you can put a check in that box as Carroll County High School scored nine runs against a talented Pulaski County team on Friday in their 17-9 setback against the Cougars.
PCHS fans have seen this group of Seniors ( 8 out of their 10 players) wreak havoc against their opponents across their four year playing careers. Friday was no different as the home team deposited five home runs over the fence, allowing them to fend off a scrappy effort from the Lady Cavaliers.
Addie Greene spearheaded the offensive attack for CCHS as the Junior collected four of the teams 11 base hits. Emma Harman joined Greene in the multi hit club with two and five Cavaliers added one apiece in the season opener.
” We put the ball in play from start to finish,” said Head Coach Rick Nester. ” We played well in the field , just ran into a team that hits it hard and often.”
Raylee Goins finished with a team high three RBI, and Brooke Webb drove in a pair of runs as well. Greene and Madison Coleman both helped a teammate find home plate with the other two runs scoring on a one of four PCHS errors.
Carroll County plated three runs in the first and third innings to take leads, but each time, the home team answered with a Crooked Number of their own.
One member of the team will have a memory as freshman pitcher Ava Beamer was supposed to start for Head Coach Terry Warf and the Junior Varsity but needed to be moved up due to an injury precaution. The youngster pitched the sixth inning for Nester in relief of Harman and Greene.
” I think that Ava was a little bit nervous about going out there,” added Nester. ” But once the inning started, she was able to get us three outs.”
Pulaski County won the Junior Varsity game 13 – 3, with that game being played around the corner from the high school. Warf and Company have a busy, busy week ahead of them as they are slated to play four home gamgames at Cavalier Park. The stretch begins with a double header versus Tazewell on Monday afternoon at 5pm.
Carroll County Middle School 🏫 Softball truly hit the ground running with a 14-0 victory over visiting Fort Chiswell.
Varsity Softball returns to action 🎬 on Wednesday at Fort Chiswell High School, and then it’s back to The Hill on Friday for the home opener against Pulaski County.
” It’s a quick turnaround in regards to playing Pulaski County again,” noted Nester. ” But hopefully, the timely hitting will go our way next time.”
