We have a Date at State, which means we are one of the remaining Eight !

The Bus 🚌 (#26) is getting ready to head out of town. The weather is not cooperative but that didn’t affect the well wishers that wanted to participate in the send off !

12:09 – Chris Mabry was in the lead Car 🚗 when the caravan pulled away from 100 Cavaliers.

Shelia Harris has great video of them heading out.

Three buses headed North and were driven by 3 classy people. Kayla Nester. Kris Richardson and Mr. Delp

Welcome 🙏 to the Vines Center ! 90 minutes until opening Tip..

Carroll County vs Liberty Christian Academy in the Elite Eight game of the Girls 👧 Class 3 State Tournament.

Proud to be the Media Chauffeur / Escort for our Allen Worrell. We will be here together all night to try and capture the action 🎬 for our Lady 👩 Cavaliers.

Our Ladies are in the House 🏠.

The drive 🚗 up was pleasant enough as Allen and I enjoy each other’s company. The tough part was leaving Plucky back at the Home Office 🏢.

We will be adding from Tip to Buzzer and of course Allen will have your Gamer and I will have your column afterwards.

Does tonight end a magical run 🏃‍♂️ or do we live to play another day ? Either way, its been an honor for me to spend time around this program.

Looking back at an Afternoon spent with the Adkins Family 👪

Southwest Virginia Community College (SWCC) finally got to play their first game yesterday and shortly afterwards played a second one, after Wake Technical College borrowed the facilities from neighboring William Pence University.

The photo 📷 above is of our Macie Adkins as the Freshman started Game 2 in the Circle. Game 1 had been spent roaming centerfield for the Flying Eagles Softball program.

The highlight of the trip for me was getting to spend time around Macie’s Mother 👩 and one set of her Grandparents. Great conversation on what turned out to be a gorgeous day in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.

The most exciting news from the day came when Mom told me that Macie recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA in her first set of classes ! Putting her Carroll County High School 🏫 education to work in such an impressive manor.

Wake Technical won the ballgames yesterday but the point of the trip wasn’t to try and capture or write a Gamer, it was about showing support for a young lady that wore our uniform last season and is now playing Softball while trying to get her College education underway.

Family 👪 is the most valuable possession we have. Enjoy it every opportunity that you can.

The team was somewhat stranded over the weekend as they waited to play games ( Saturday and Sunday were both washed out) but made good use of the time by taking in a Duke University Softball game. There were other team bonding experiences along the way and eventually games were played.

Macie Adkins is starting the adventure that we call Life. She has her High School 🏫 diploma in hand ✋and has a loving ❤ Family’s support. This young Lady 👩 is going places and I wouldn’t bet against her.
