72 hours of volleyball 🏐 begins tonight, and we will have it at five very different levels & in five separate Gymnasiums !

Tuesday evening will involve matches at Luray Middle School 🏫, Duke University, and two at Patrick County High School in Stuart.

Wednesday night, will see πŸ‘€ D2 Ferrum College play a home match at 6: 30.

Thursday night, matches will be held at both Signal Knob Middle School ( Strasburg ) and on The Hill as the Glenvar Highlanders make their annual trek down from Salem,

A total of eight matches will be played in just over 48 hours, and the connection to each one will be considerably different. In two of the matches, it will be about playing the role of host for both Nikki Heflin and Cindy Edwards. Thursday night will be extra fun for me because of the Glenvar – Carroll County match-up ! It will be the fifth of 10 nights πŸŒ™ spent in the home gym this fall.

But there is plenty to keep an eye πŸ‘πŸ‘€ on between now and then !

In Luray, Virginia, two of these young ladies will be making their Middle School 🏫 debut for the Bulldogs ! Both Melody and Ana will be in action 🎬 for the first time on a school team βž•οΈ it turns out that Madison, the youngest one, has a soccer match immediately after in which she will be coached by our Son, Chris. !

Peter Muhlenberg will make the trek across Massanutten Mountain ⛰️ tonight with the match starting at 4:30 !

Down in Durham, North Carolina, Duke University finally gets to play inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Lady Blue Devils went 4-1 over two weekends on the road and will host Charleston Southern at 6:00 pm

Tonight, the Lady Cavaliers will play their first actual road match of the season over in Patrick County ( Stuart). The varsity team has played two home scrimmages, two home matches, and then a five match marathon over at Patrick Henry – Glade Springs.

Our team sits at 6-1 overall after their second place finish in the Rebel Classic !

Our Junior Varsity team sits at 1-1 and should be hungry for playing tonight after spending time at the Flea Market parking cars πŸš— to raise $$$$.

Wednesday night at 6 :30 pm, Half Pint Harris, pictured above with her two sisters, will once again take to the court at Schwartz Gym.

Francis Marion University ( Florence, SC) is a very familiar school name from our time spent down at USC – Aiken. The Lady Panthers sit at 3 – 1 on the freshman season for Miss Harris.

Now you know the eight matches and the connection to them. The amount of coverage will be directly connected to receiving some assistance from others, but it will be a fun attempt just the same. Patrick County High School gym is where cellphone service goes to die, so anything from there will be delayed a smidgen.

Let’s play volleyball 🏐, or in this case, let’s watch and announce volleyball.

No point spreads, no drama, just parents and grandparents watching from the stands and cheering for their favorite player(s)!

The Labor Day weekend show still has one more window πŸͺŸ for some extended family time & one more edition of our Morning πŸŒ„ Brew!

In the shadows of the giant Buc-ees sign for the next couple of days…
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

1 Thessalonians 5:16Β Rejoice evermore.

Keep an eye πŸ‘πŸ‘€ out around The Hill because rumor has it that we have a 6-1 volleyball team roaming around !

I hope that everyone can spend the day with someone who is in their inner circle πŸ”΅ and that the Flea Market continues to provide a means of support for oh so many.

Have a Blessed Day πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‡πŸ™

Check it out ! Volleyball 🏐 in Prime Time on a Sunday night at Wrigley Field in Chicago !!! Sad ending for a grand night.

#3 Kentucky is leading #13 Penn State 2-1 with Missouri versus #1 Nebraska waiting in the ondeck circle.

The camera πŸ“· angles are trying hard to show the environment that has been created at the friendly confines.

Volleyball 🏐 is longer just something that people do in hopes of staying fit in the off-season of another sport !

Fox has the broadcast tonight, and it will be going on for quite some time now…

Lady Cavaliers

9:28 ET – Kentucky closes out Penn State, 3-1.

Nebraska and Mizzou around 10pm

The 15-minute piece on the day that Nebraska played a match in front of 92,000+ was inspiring.

1st serve right around 10:15 p.m

Like ants 🐜 at a picnic, all of the players are working to dry the court after three points of the late match.

17-minute delay as they attempt to dry the court after just two points.

11:00 pm – 42 minutes in, still in 1st set as once again they work on the court.

Tough break for sure, but they are using every means possible to correct the problem.  The current break will last a minimum of 15 minutes.

Sadly, what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime evening has been cut βœ‚οΈ short.

Starting the event a few hours earlier might have been the best answer, but I will leave the second guessing to others.

I’m just glad that nobody was injured, and the fans were able to watch Kentucky and Penn State.
