Update to the schedule for today : Junior Varsity Lady Cavaliers 👩 Softball is set to host Bassett High School 🏫 in a scrimmage at Cavaliers Park here in a bit….
Stephen Puckett and Travis Osborne are teaming up to help make the Middle School 🏫 Softball dugouts shine !
Any day that allows me to make reference to both Stephen Puckett and Travis Osborne in the same story is a great one in my World 🌎.
Cutting across The Hill on my drive back from West Virginia, I ran into Travis on a ladder and with his work clothes on. Sadly, I cost him some daylight as we swapped a few stories about life. He mentioned that when he reached out to Mr. Puckett to confirm the proper colors, the answer he received was, ” If you are willing to donate your skill set, I will provide you with the paint. “
It was time to get back to Laurel Fork in order to get Lin to her next appointment so we said our Goodbyes 👋 with the promise that I would swing back and capture his artwork !

Year 18 here at West Virginia Tech University Baseball is well underway and the team has won three of four heading into today.
By normal standards, the changes for today are minor in nature as the park remains the same and the opposition is the same. The lone difference being instead of playing one nine inning game we will play a pair of 7 inning affairs starting at 3pm.
What triggers a relationship / partnership that is closing in on two full decades ? An opportunity to work with someone who takes what they do every bit as serious as myself. Those things are truly hard to find.
