What do you mean that Beckley is not on the way to Alleghany High School?

Raise your hand if you’re Carroll County High School fan and you can’t wait for the next trip up and over to Covington….

If you give it some thought I am sure that others schools feel the same away about traveling to our place but this is our story so I’m not sure we really care about that part of things ?

Google Maps answered the question this morning as to how much longer my trip would be if I stopped by the Baseball ⚾️ office in Beckley on my way from Laurel Fork to Alleghany High ???

We (West Virginia Tech Golden Bears 🐻 baseball) open our season this weekend down in Johnson City, Tennessee and I needed to play catch-up before the weekend gets here.

I will be heading over to Alleghany shortly to do my normal Live Blog of our Girls Varsity Basketball 🏀 game but I wanted to share a last thought about the Swim 🏊‍♂️ meet coverage from last night provided by Marion Harris. Here’s another reason the effort was priceless – last week I attended one of our meets up in Daleville and quickly realized just how different Swimming 🏊‍♂️ is from say, Basketball.

Basketball is a very public event that takes place in a Gymnasium full of people and the Athletes wear jerseys with their numbers on them so they are easy to identify. The environment involved with a swimming 🏊‍♂️ (I can’t help myself, I love that emoji) meet is the complete opposite.

While I was able to take some photos and tried to describe the atmosphere it was far from “covering” the event. For someone to truly accomplish what Marion did last night 🌙 they would either have to be a Parent or a Coach that is already involved with the team. To try and get the same level of coverage from outside of the group would be incredibly difficult.

The other option would be to just try and find the results and do a Copy and Paste. This can work too but not nearly as well as what we teamed up to post did!

Anyone that enjoyed the Coverage from last night please mention that to Mr. Harris next time you see him.

I need to get some baseball ⚾️ stuff done so I can get over to AHS…..
