Today’s Photo 📷 with a Twist

BIg shout out to one of the greats or as I call her “legend”.  She is a great example of a true Coach.  This young program has been under her direction from the beginning.  Her and her staff coach everyone to their potential and places them in spots to shine bright!!!  Last night her swimmers at regionals broke 15 different personal best times.  She sets an atmosphere of structure for success but each one is loved by the staff and the team enjoys one another.  She has taken players from all sports during their off season and have made them better for their main sports.  She understands the swimmers in and out of the pool and expects nothing but their best at all times!!  Thank you Joi Honaker Ogle for what you do for our swimming program and our community!!

Normally I place a picture 📷 here but in its place today is a Message from Marion Harris to the Coach of our Swim 🏊‍♂️ Team. I don’t have to wonder for a second about how heartfelt ♥ the message is because Marion was sending me information about the Meet for hours after the fact.

He just sent me another message as I type this out saying that 10 of our 17 Swimming 🏊‍♂️ Cavaliers have new Personal Best times after last night’s event.

Because I have to display a sense of humor about the Post from last night/ this morning…

As I move forward with our vision to provide Carroll County High School with an online Sports presence for years to come, I now have a poster child example of what it would look like.

Late last night I received an email with the results of the event. It would have been so easy to stay at home in Laurel Fork and just do a copy and paste of that email. But wouldn’t have done justice to the Student Athletes that performed for CCHS all season.

Tough part is that Swimming 🏊‍♂️ without a doubt is the most difficult High School Sport to cover because of the levels of the competition. The Personal Best aspect in its self brings to light the difference between the sport and the others our Cavaliers participate in.

Where the humor comes from is that we stuffed so much information into the Post that its looks like a Fourth Grader but it together. But is has feel to it that I hope that will be enjoyable.

For one night 🌙 it clicked just like I envisioned it could work. One parent took the lead and went way beyond what I could hope for and a second parent shared the moments of Celebration that are Priceless.

Then after the dust started to settle Marion took the time to pen 🖊 such a Beautiful Thank You to Coach.

I am not sure if we will get to the end vision of Radio coverage of events, Podcasts, Coaches Shows and commentators describing the action for the games on the Network folks watch now without sound.

But for a night 🌙 we teamed up with the Student Athletes that gave of their time and energy and created coverage that might not have existed otherwise.

I have to stop now because Marion just sent me four more things for the Post from last night.
