Today is the day that our Carroll County High School sports season concludes, and I am honored to be spending it with Head Coach Shawn Montgomery and Junior High Jump specialist Brenden Fariss on the grounds of Liberty University.

We will meet back up just before 11 am. and be with our duo until the completion of the 27-person competition.

We have our normal guest partners wrapping up their morning uplifting, and we begin with Brother Osborne

John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Later on this morning, Howard Mayo will check in with his Motovational Nugget of the Day as well.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌

It’s that time of the year – the next stop ✋️is Liberty University and the completion of the Box 📦 Set of 👕👕👕👕. Brenden Fariss is heading to LU to represent our Track 👣 and Field program ! Running post until 2 pm Friday – 24 hours with Coach and Student Athlete !

Here is the link to the ongoing coverage of our Track and Field teams ! We will be updating it all day.

Donna Nester is incredibly busy in the springtime ! It’s not easy to be the Team Mom to her husband’s ball club, being proud of her son’s Junior Varsity Baseball team and his role with Varsity ball as well.

Add in the love she shows toward her daughter – in- law, Kayla Nester, who runs at 100 mph, 24/7. The next bonnet 👒 Donna wears is Grandma to three adorable grandchildren. Other than those things, life is just a day at the beach ⛱️ for my neighbor.

The one thing that Donna has to do is remember to breathe and every now and then enjoy the life that she has cultivated.

We like to let Coach know that he married up by a wide margin, and he nods in agreement every time !

Incredibly nice lady who plays a much greater role than she realizes !

Thank You, Ma’am , for being you for so many.

Tammy Tobler will forever be tied to Cavalier Park, and rightfully so. The connection between Tammy and the program began with her late husband, the beloved Jeff Tobler.

Yes, that is how it started, but now Tammy is firming up her own legacy as she continues to love ❤️ and support Rick and Donna Nester ➕️ the young ladies who wear the jerseys. Each season, Tammy is faced with a difficult decision on whether to commit another season, and each time she finds the room in her heart, we are all better for her continued kindness.

Crazy colored socks and adorable nick names are just two of the ways that Coach Tobes is still with us. Secretly, Tammy has said she is going to stay with us until she wins a Foul Ball contest.

Kevin Burress and I are rather immature for our age and are always in need of adult supervision. We both feel blessed 🙌 to have our Team Mom watching out for us !

There are a number of similarities between Morgan Osborne and Ava Beamer. The two youngsters are both right-handed pitchers for Carroll County, separated by one grade.

Another connection is the relationship they have with their fathers 👨. Morgan has been through the emotional ringer this season as someone who is young shouldn’t have to work through injuries like the ones that Miss Osborne has faced this season.

Faith and Father’s would be a nice tag line for this story and as they say in life, what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger !

I have to add the family photo 📸 that I use every morning in our A.M. Brew. Neat family, Top to Bottom, those Osbornes are !

0-0 is the score right now in the third inning as Brother Osborne is pulling for his Red Raiders. I am also pulling for TT tonight, but for a different reason. If the Longhorns wins 🏆 it means the season is over. We need one more game !

Please 🙏 note 📝 that the capsules are written in the order that a photo makes its way to me.

Five down, who knows how many to go ?

Going to begin this one by sharing the thoughts of Brooke’s Step-Mom…

Being just the bonus of Brooke Webb but watching these girls play…. I think that a possible great story would be one on Natalie Burris and the value of a catcher. 

Pitchers always seem to get lots of credit but a good catcher can make or break them. 

Personally I use to sing professionally and I would always get the credit while the accompanist never receives anything…all while knowing who ever was accompanying me could make or break a performance.  Just like a catcher could really make a pitchers look bad.Just a random thought from an impartial game watcher 💙

  Thank you, Ma’am

Now, on to Denise Webb. She reminds me  a great deal of my own mother 👩, who passed away way too early at 69 years of age. Bea Carter was not going to apologize for the depth of her love for any of her five children. That should be the case for all parents but Denise is proud to be the President of the Brooke Webb fan club. I am proud to be a card-carrying member of said club.

Four years of watching 👀 Brooke play volleyball and softball made it very apparent that the educational force was strong with this one. I thought she was ” sneaky smart,” but towards the end, sneaky was removed from the name.

How smart is she asks the crowd ? She has received a ride to Virginia Tech University, not for softball or volleyball but for her brain. I knew it was big but now I know it’s BIG 🧠🧠🧠🧠!!!
