Tuesday, March 10th has arrived and its time for our Morning 🌄 Brew ! Here’s what is on tap for today….

Lady 👩 Cavaliers
Let’s Play Two today !
This message last night brought a smile to my face ! Clearly, the right two or three people shared a story last night.
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Home 🏡 date 5 of 16 for our Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball team is up in the State Capitol within sight of the Golden Dome. What was called Power Park forever is now Go Mart Park.

It’s always a treat to announce when it takes place in a professional Stadium 🏟, as will be the case today for our Mid Week date.

Hopefully we will see some photos 📷 from Cavalier Park tonight 🙏 and we are set for the season opener next Wednesday versus Galax High School

22 teams are listed above and I have to laugh about just how many of them are part of the story.

Lake Taylor was set to be my High School when Dad was stationed in Tidewater and then we bought our first home across town and I attended Norview. Princess Anne would have been the Senior year but retirement took us to the Midwest.

Skyline High School has a Grandson of ours and Luray was home for a long time and three Granddaughters are set to attend there. Don Ehlers is still the Athletic Director there and has double duty with both teams in the building.

Clarke County, Handley and Central Woodstock were both schools that I covered for the Northern Virginia Daily.

Fort Chiswell and Galax are our neighbors and Abingdon is representing our Region.

We played Hampton every year at Norview and the Crabbers were always loaded with talent.

We played at Green Run High School their very first season in existence (1979-1080).

I think that is 14 out of 22, some with serious connections. So there will be some scoreboard watching 👀 later this week !

Both Coach Mayo and Brother Osborne sent in their thoughts as I was creating this = its going to be a Good Day !

Have a Blessed Day 🙌🙏 !!

Super Bowl for 🧠s, we call that Super MACC and here’s what we can tell you about how are young but knowledgeable Cavaliers did against others from the rest of the Commonwealth!

The five categories that the teams compete in are as follows :

Last week the teams in the Western side of the State competed with the top two finishers advancing to the Championship tonight in Blacksburg !

Mrs. Kristy Jones was in the building and was kind enough to share her Photos 📷 with us and the results from the matches.

Let’s see 👀 how we did….

All Around put up a good fight but Blacksburg will advance to the finals. Trenton Newman, Garrison Wheatley, Bradley Dalton, & Jacob Talbert played the entire match, no substitutions, & should be proud of all their hard work! This team had an amazing season winning not only their region but also the Western Tournament!

   Carroll Science pulled out the win on the very last question!

         Time for social studies :

Halfway throught social studies & we are up by 5

Auburn squeezed out the win but the Cavaliers fought hard.

The A in ASPN stands for Academics and that is why its joyful to have the opportunity to share anything that doesn’t take place on a ball field with our readers !!!

Thank You to the Teachers who give of themselves for this group and Congratulations 👏 to each Student that participated along the way !

Finally, Thank You 🙏 to Trenton’s Mom 👩❤ for being a Proud Parent !!!

We will wrap things up with a capture of Science in the closing seconds !

Science is going into overtime!

Carroll lost by 2 points in overtime…

Here is the Thing about the Spring : We have 15 teams that fall under the Umbrella 🌂so things can get pretty interesting at times !

12 High School teams in the Spring ➕ my responsibilities with West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ ➕ Dakota Walls Racing ➕ Vickey Ritchie and our Special Olympics Basketball program.

That makes it 15 before you add on anything else from the Area, the Duke Women have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of six games remaining and we have tickets 🎟 for each one.

  Still hoping 🙏 that Alyssa Ervin and Furman University will have one more opportunity to lace up the sneakers 👟 this season but we won’t find out for another week yet.

Tonight wraps up the MACC competition and I’m looking forward to interacting with Kristy Jones one more time on that.

The three ways that I can make life better for someone is A. Using my space to help promote their efforts. B. Using my imagination to create a story for them C. Use my voice to announce an event.

I’ve come up short on the ultimate Goal of creating a safe space outside of Social Media where a person can click on and read only positive words about the subjects listed above. Didn’t get there but that doesn’t mean that you stop trying hard to support those who wish to be supported.

Tomorrow afternoon will be a great example for me to use as a fork in the road example – Coach Nester is hosting a scrimmage versus George Wythe at Cavalier Park. But its my understanding that you cannot announce during a scrimmage so does that mean going to Charleston, West Virginia Tomorrow for the Golden Bears double header make more sense ?

But its Charleston and not Beckley so its a 6 hour loop versus a four hour loop….

So just know that our goal remains to enjoy where we live, love thy neighbor and lend out the Skill set as often as possible.

If you like what you read here, tell a friend or two.. If not, then its easy enough to avoid.

Thanks for reading 📚 and Go Cavaliers, Go Golden Bears, Go Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 and Go Kira Lawson & Duke !
