The Southwest Virginia Community College is still trying hard to get their first game of the season played but it won’t be today.
After not be able to get their games in last weekend, the team was set for Friday and Saturday down in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday and Sunday. S/S turned into Sunday/ Monday. This morning 🌄 was the next change, now just a double header tomorrow at 1 & 3.
West Virginia Tech Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ is running into similar issues up in Charleston, West Virginia this weekend. Their 3 game set has also been reduced to just a Sunday double header, starting at Noon today.
Fifteen years ago is when Pistol Pete threw out the first pitch of the Lawrence Nesselrodt era !

Quick update in regards to our Banquet lineup. We had asked Glenn Burnett to speak early on about what it takes to be a Parent and a Coach at the High School 🏫 level. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Burnett and when I extended the offer to him I told him he was my only choice.
Turns out that we won’t be able to make that happen due to scheduling conflicts. We know that anytime you plan an event you will never get everyone you want because Life happens all over the place.
A number of folks we would have loved to have join us will be down in Tennessee that day with the travel Volleyball 🏐 as well.
True to my word, we won’t attempt to replace the segment with another speaker.
