Alleghany, Why did it have to be Alleghany ? Asked Indiana Jones

If you’re not old enough to remember the great Harrison Ford line about snakes then that Banner won’t make much sense to you.

After spending the entire season calling out the players name as they came to bat at Cavalier Park there was no doubt that when the day came for the younger Softball Cavaliers to compete in a winner take all post season game I would be there to support them. Today is that day and of course its going to be up at Alleghany High School 🏫!

There’s not playing at home then there’s playing in the suburbs of Covington. First pitch is set for 5:00 for both the JV Baseball game and the JV Softball game so leaving Carroll County much after 2pm is cutting it close.

While the play of the JV teams is impressive enough to earn both of them a spot in Today’s games, it is worth noting that the efforts put forth by their parents πŸ‘ is off the charts ! They show up in large numbers regardless of the place or time to be there for their youngins and that moves me to the point of wanting to write ✍ about it.

Kudos to each family πŸ‘ͺ member who makes the 250 mile loop today to be there for their children and know in advance that its okay to say – “Alleghany, why did it have to be Alleghany?”

Final One for Thursday – A look inside the JV Baseball ⚾️ District Championship Game Friday @ Alleghany 5pm

First Pitch is set for 5pm Friday at Alleghany High School 🏫 between two teams that are about as even as can be. The visiting Cavaliers defeated AHS at home 🏑 on 4/21 3-2 and the Mountaineers returned the favor on May 9th, winning by an equally narrow 4-3 final score.

Carroll County closed out the regular season Thursday night at Radford and will make a quick turnaround to cover the 248 mile loop up and over to AHS.

The trilogy is set up to be a great contest between the two best teams in the Three Rivers District

Barring any last minute changes both the Softball and Baseball ⚾️ games are set to begin at 5pm!
