A tri-fecta of games in Strasburg Saturday night – Pics Later

Head Coach Suzanne Mathias and her Rams are hosting James Wood in a softball double header beginning at 5:00. Right next door will be the finals of the Strasburg Hard Ball Tourney between Buffalo Gap & Jeff Smoot’s home standing Rams.

      Strasburg captures the Ram Hard Ball title and there will be plenty of pics up later today of both Strasburg & Buffalo Gap…

In search of Mr. Jim Sacco – Did we find him ?

After going 0-2 at Draft and Wilson, we went in search of our good buddy Jim Sacco over at the News Virginian. We love talking sports with Jim but our mark stood at 0-3 after we couldn’t find Jim either. We received an inside tip that he was moonlighting around the corner so we grabbed the camera and went searching for him.

Could this really be him ?

 In the reporting business you have to be sure so we called out to Jim for verification . The next pic shows him singing and dancing in joy so maybe we had found our guy!

 On a serious note we did head back to the newspaper and found Mr. Rob Sisk at his desk and managed to talk Generals baseball with him for an hour or so. Always a treat to visit with Mr. Sisk and look forward to reading the paper tomorrow.

The Rain wouldn’t go away so we had to get creative here at ATV-60

We try our best to mix things up here at ATV-60 and since we spent Thursday night in Shenandoah County with Central we figured we should head south.

      The hope was to catch the Little Giants @ Stuart Draft but the weather eliminated that option. Our next goal was to try and visit with Coach Derek McDaniel over at Wilson Memorial.

     We searched high and low over in Fishersville but there was no one to be found there either. Check the next post for how the story ends.

Next time you are at Wilson you should take the time to read about the accomplishments of Coach Bowers.

Spending an evening with the Falcons in the Nest and the fellas from the NVD

 From 5:00 until 10:00 P.M. a misty rain fell across the ball diamonds in Woodstock but that did not prevent the Falcons from hosting the teams from Sherando. Tommy Keeler had the softball duties and Dennis Atwood covered the baseball game. Check out both gamers at www.nvdaily.com later.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with Strasburg Today

I first noticed something was wrong in the Ram family yeaterday when I read Katie Baker’s notes on Facebook. I knew something was wrong in the extended Strasburg family but I didn’t know what until today.

I will add the link here to the story that Chuck McGill wrote for todays NVD (www.nvdaily.com ). Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ram family in hopes of a speedy recovery.
