Coach Long reports Good News at the end of Day 1 of Wrestling at Hidden Valley High

Four of our Wrestlers have advanced to Day 2 of the event with Senior Andrew Myers set to start Saturday in the Semi-finals !

Fisher Myers, Samuel Collins and Louis Marshall are each still competing in their Consolation brackets.

Best of Luck to the four hitting the mat tomorrow morning and here’s a thought from Coach –

“Yessir. Good day. Starting to wrestle a full tough match even while giving up weight at almost every weight class.”

Tonight we spent some quality time with a group of talented Performers that do our School and our Community proud !

If you weren’t able to make it to the performance tonight you will have one more opportunity 🙏 tomorrow evening at 6pm.

From the moment you enter the doors to the First United Methodist Church ⛪ you will be taken back to the 1600’s

Not looking to spoil the show tonight for anyone who is making plans to attend the Saturday night event but did want to take the time to applaud the amazing 👏 efforts of the Cast & Crew!

We were invited guests of Marion & Shelia Harris and were joined by Marion’s Father 👨 and both Adrienne & Natalie plus the distinguished Mr. Ben Tickle. I will add anything that the Harris Family 👪 sends in as well as any one else that is a Proud Parent or Grandparent.

Every part of the event was an absolute pleasure to absorb and the characters portrayed by the Singers turned actors were played incredibly well. If you have time tomorrow night to join this impressive group of performers you will leave there with warmth in your heart ❤

From Marion

One more add by way of Marion

Ms Lineberry’s sent me the following about your write upI “love it! These kids worked so hard and I appreciate them getting recognized for it!

Their and your efforts showed from start to finish !!!

Hey Russell Smoot, this Post is for you, Sir

We are closing in on the designated 3 year window we had set aside for our attempt to provide a service for our Neighbors in a place we proudly call home. I have often joked about our site being the Best Kept Secret in Carroll County as despite our best efforts just couldn’t find a way to reach the masses.

My Wife and I established our own Non-profit organization called OneofUs.Care and just finished our goal of planting $50,000.00 of our money 💰 into various areas in and around our County.

Ben Tickle and Greg Talley were the beneficiaries of the final piece of the Gifted money which left just one question about the future – what to do in regards to our third site ?

The plans started out Pie 🥧 in the Sky to say the least. The goal was to create a High School Sports version of ESPN. The plan was laid out on paper as well as in my mind but the conversation I was chasing simply never presented itself.

The second largest donation came in the form of returning to our Home Base, which is Rick Nester’s Softball program. Thanks to some assistance from a few people the scoreboard shown above will be in place on Opening Day when Emma Leath fires her first pitch.

The plan up until roughly one week ago was to post a final Thank You to everyone who bought into the plan and find the next challenge in life besides the Softball program. The site has been ours for 15+ years now and regardless of the outcome here in the coming days it will always remain an active part of who we are.

So a heartfelt Thank You to Mr. Smoot for his kindness ❤
