Boys and Girls Track 👣 and Field traveled down to Glade Springs today, and I feel comfortable with the idea that Coach Montgomery will send it the results once he has them.
The troop is gearing up for their Big Trip and Coach walked me through the weekend plans.
Drive over on Friday, get set up, and scout out the course before hitting the bunks.
Saturday morning 🌄 starts the competition, and it’s wall to wall throughout the day as units from across the country make the trek.
Saturday night in the area and then returning on Sunday. The Sunday departure time is based on whether the team lands a Top 5 finish. If they were to do so, they would stay a bit longer for the awards ceremony.
Twice in the past stretch, the team landed Top 20 finishes ! When you consider it a national competition, that is pretty impressive !
Carroll County dropped a hard fought 7-3 decision to Chilhowie last night 🌙 and we ran a story about it minus ➖️ any quotes from Coach Nester. The team was late getting back, so we connected this morning.
Thought one made me smile – ” If you were just a fan of Softball, it was an enjoyable came to watch.”
” We received solid pitching all night, and I was pleased with our defensive effort from start to finish. “
” We were able to match their offense in regards to hits ( Carroll County -10, Chilhowie -11), but they were able to bunch theirs up at the key times.”
” No time to dwell on it because we have to travel to Stuart now to face another quality opponent.”
