” Gone Fishing 🎣” is the mental sign I envision hanging on the imaginary door 🚪 to Vickey’s office.
I will have to find a filler for the time, but whatever it is I come up with, it won’t be as fulfilling.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Thank you, Brother Osborne !
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
Nick Cushman and Deana Burcham just finished coaching up our Middle School 🏫 Softball team, and in a word, their efforts were electric. In a time where finding energized young coaches is a challenge, having two of them working together in one season and one team is amazing.
Middle School Softball coaches tend to have a short shelf life because, more often than not, it is a parent(s) of one of the players who will step up and take the responsibility while their daughter is on the team. That was the case once again this season, and our program was blessed to have an injection 💉of youth in the dugout.
The top three spots in the Lady Cavalier program belong to Rick Nester, Travis Leath, and Terry Warf. Each of these men has been around the sport for quite some time now and has an abundance of knowledge and coaching skills. The Dynamic Duo has ” It,” something that they don’t carry on the shelves at Wal-Mart. The sport of softball is most certainly about a ❤️ for the game, and it can use all of the high-energy newcomers that are willing to make the sacrifice.
Thank you, coaches and Mrs Cushman, for the effort this season !
The other night in Abingdon, Head Coach Casey Burcham did everything he could to protect the right arm of his staff Ace, Peyton Spencer. Spencer had just faced the Warriors of Magna Vista days before, and a baseball pitcher is significantly different from a softball pitcher in regards to arm use.
His teammates like to call him D1, and when Burcham signaled to Spencer to take over from short stop, our Cavaliers were on the edge of the cliff. The homestanding Falcons already led the game 4-0, and the bases were loaded with nobody out.
With our season certainly on the brink, D1 went to work and produced five minutes of remarkable baseball ⚾️. Strikeout, strikeout ( needed 4 strikes), and strikeout to end the threat with the score still 4-0.
Conner Reece lifted a 2-run bomb 💣 to cut the deficit in half, and once again, our Cavaliers had energy in the dugout. The Cavs would end up falling 4-2, which leads to the question about where the gunslingers moment should be placed on the Mt Rushmore of Cavalier sports ?
If Carroll County had completed the rally and punched 👊 their ticket 🎟 to the State Tournament that night, the five minutes would rank up there with Tiffany Moore and the catch or the end of the Girls first Basketball 🏀 State Championship. I am not sure what an athlete can do to be considered more clutch than our Junior righty.
Win that game, and the lore lasts 50 years with the size of the crowd growing every time the story gets told !
Mr Spencer, a giant tip of the cap to you, Sir !
Meanwhile, here in Asheville, the Greensboro Grasshoppers are spoiling the night for a sold-out crowd on free jersey night.
Final Score, 15 – 4.
