I wanted to take enough time to list the three sites that are part of our Non-Profit Organization, OneofUs.Care
You are reading this on the site that is built for as much coverage that we can provide about the Student Athletes that represent Carroll County High School. We fund this site out of our Non-Profit and it shall always remain a free site that is intended for the residents of our home County and family members that live elsewhere.
The second site is the actual OneofUs.Care site which we use for the foundation and the third site is www. aroundthevalleyin60days.blogspot.com

The third site acts as a go between for the Organization and the Sports Report or as I like to call it – a look inside my brain. The goals we are trying to achieve will take a while but fortunately my Wife and I are in this for the duration.
Some of the other’s things we are connected to include being part of the West Virginia Tech University baseball program, the Appalachian State University Field Hockey program and the Page County High School Softball program. There are a number of sports programs that we are connected to with the latest addition being the Athletic Department at Carroll County High School. The participation to the Golden Bear Baseball program goes back to 2008 as does the PCHS softball. Two of the three sites are built on sites I created roughly 15 years ago when we resided in the Shenandoah Valley.
I started writing back in 1978 and while I didn’t make my money with a pen or a keyboard its where I have found the most joy. I believe that the number of publications I have written for is somewhere in the 20-25 range with my favorite being my own sites because it allows me to choose the topics. One writer from a competing newspaper when I was covering Sports for the Northern Virginia Daily in Strasburg, Va. asked me after a game we both covered, ” Why do you try and cover every game like it’s the 7th game of the World Series?” The answer is because it is that important to the people I write my stuff for – the Student Athlete, the Parents, the Grandparents and the Coaches.
It’s that level of dedication to my thought process that will have me get in the car and drive to Covington here in a few hours. Yes, there should be very little drama in the Girls Varsity Basketball game tonight against Alleghany High School but if our Coaches, players and a handful of dedicated family members make that trek then they deserved to have it written about. The last trip up there ended with a pair of hard-fought exciting wins for our Boys Varsity and JV teams that thankfully people can still read about on our site.
The drive up tomorrow will be easier because of the performance of Marion Harris last night down in Abingdon!
