One of these impressive 👏 young Ladies will be in town for a night while the other will be there for a wee bit longer but they are both following a Great Path.

Ms. Harris is the oldest of the three daughters that Shelia and Marion Harris have shared so openly with the Carroll County Sports community. Her Emory & Henry Wasps Soccer ⚽️ team is set to play up a division (D1 vs D2) against the home standing Radford squad on the Highlanders pitch.

The game is set for 7pm and will be broadcast on ESPN+. Most High School 🏫 Athletes play the games they enjoyed growing up and do so for the sheer joy. A select few get the privilege of playing the game on a College Campus and that number gets even smaller when you count up the number of times it takes place in front of a Television 📺 audience.

Harris is focused on the bigger picture 📷 in life as she finishes up your College education with the plan being to return to Carroll County and give back to others in the Community. This year she will have another task down at E & H as she gets to play big Sis to Natalie as the middle Daughter has started school 🏫 down there as well.

I am overly impressed with this young lady 👩 and I am looking forward to sitting in the stands when she makes her TV debut. Whether see nets a Goal or not Harris will be able to tell her Grandkids that she played Soccer on TV!

Our second former Cavalier will be spending a little bit longer in Radford as Richardson just began classes at the University. Pictured here holding a Snake 🐍 big enough to make Indiana Jones soil himself, Richardson just returned from a Mission trip to Peru 🇵🇪.

This past Sunday morning 🌄 we were fortunate enough to listen to Richardson briefly talk about what the experience in Peru was like and her perspective on the 10 day trek was enlightening to both Lin & I.

I would also assume that your first day of College at Radford is considerably less intimidating after 10 days on another Continent.

One of them is coming up for an evening while the other will be hanging around for a spell but one things for sure, these two young Ladies are just getting started on their paths and there’s no telling what they might accomplish !

I am left to wonder if being on TV 📺 will change things forever…………

Tommy Caudill wakes ⏰ up every morning 🌄 with a plan in place to make someones day a little bit brighter. On Wednesdays Tommy climbs into his Mountain Lynx Transit shuttle Bus and heads out to Laurel Fork to play the roll of Choefur for our neighbors.

The service is provided at no cost to the passengers and takes place each and every Wednesday out our way. All that a passenger needs to do is call 📞 the day before to schedule a pick-up for Wednesday morning end then buckle up for a day of shopping 🛍 and errands in the town of Galax.

The service is impressive on its own merrit but its Tommy’s disposition that takes it to another level. Climb onto Tommy’s Bus 🚌 and he is going to treat you like part of his family 👪.

This morning I experienced his kindness first hand as along with four of his regular riders we set out to handle a number of errands with Wal-Mart being the centerpiece but a multitude of other stops designed to make life easier for the passengers on board.

As we search daily for folks that try hard to make the World 🌎 a Better Place sometimes its easier because one of them will simply show up at your front door 🚪.

Tommy – you Sir are the Man 👨. Please keep on with your efforts 🙏!!
