Welcome to another edition of a San Juan Island 🏝 Morning 🌄 Brew ! Our lead is a 9am basketball 🏀 game down in Auburn,  Alabama…

Big, big test for Alyssa Ervin and Furman University this morning !
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

It wasn’t always fun and games here on Friday Harbor – History 101 begins with a story about a Pig who, by the way, would dispute the fact that it was a bloodless war !

This was ” The Pig 🐖 “
This is where you go to learn all about the Pig and the standoff between USA 🇺🇸 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧.

Everything took place just before Canada 🇨🇦 became a country as England didn’t want to let go of its hold just yet.

Again, the Pig might disagree…
If you want to be further involved with the story, use the two fingers’ effect to spread out the flyer shown above.

Here below, the next photo 📸 shows just was in dispute with the Red Line being what England believed, and the Blue Line is the United States version. If there had been a WAR, we would have lost and by a wide margin as England had war ships off the coast. It would have been brutal.

115 years from beginning to end in regards to Canada 🇨🇦 truly getting its Independence from the King 🤴 and Queen 👸. Patience in play here !

Both Camps are now protected as part of the National Historical Park with plenty to see 👀 and places to hike.

Now, in my twist to the story, the Pig 🐖 family hired a great lawyer and received a treasure chest of a settlement. The lawyer was the great, great, great grandfather to Travis Osborne, and here is one of those pigs living the dream today !

Life is Good !

Bryce Smoot has a new address, a new coach, and teammates but he is still the young man we all watched 👀 grow up on The Hill !

The Roster :

Name Position Classification Height #


Amarri Wilcher Combo Guard Sophomore 6’1 3


Travell Almond Combo Guard Sophomore 6’3 2


Robert McKinney Shooting Guard Sophomore 5’10 1


Jalen Deloatch Point Guard Sophomore 6’3 11


Antron Gray Point Guard Freshman 6’0 22


Jahmarion Walton Forward Freshman 6’5 4


Bryce Smoot Shooting Guard Sophomore 5’10 10


Jeremy Allen Shooting Guard Freshman 5’11 13


Christian Jordan Combo Guard Freshman 6’1 0


Nicolas Carter Forward Freshman 6’3 14


Xavier Holmes Combo Guard Freshman 6’4 5


Brandon Gibbons Forward Freshman 6’5 23


Steven Stinson Forward Sophomore 6’6 32

While the challenge is greater than with both Elijah Cox and Alyssa Ervin, we will do our very best to keep up with Bryce Smoot during basketball season !

The basketball program at the Community College in Suffolk is relatively new, and the game by game information is not as easily accessible. But with that said, the effort will be put forth to keep up with the All-Time scoring leader in Boys Basketball 🏀 history.
