Now that I have safely made it back to Durham, the first thing I want to do is give props to both Darrin Mathews and Velvet Creed Leonard. This duo made our “Photo 📷 Shoot ” a very enjoyable 45 minutes !

Mr. Mathews gave up some of his down time to allow us to bring our efforts into the Gymnasium. The list of folks that will crack a joke about Darrin being a short timer on The Hill is a long one but at the end of a trying day, our retiring Athletic Director was there for us and we greatly appreciate him for it.

Velvet, captured above directing traffic while holding one of her two cameras 📷, was kind enough to find the time in her overly busy day to take a bushel full of photos for us.

We couldn’t have moved forward without these two Stand-up folks and I wanted to make sure to say THANK YOU in writing !!!

We are not going to rush the process as we move forward but I did want to share a few photos from my end that were taken outside of the main shots.

We will close out by adding a Thank You 🙏 to the Student Athletes and their Families for also taking the time to carve out the time during a busy, busy weekend.

Our Fab Four :

Ashlyn Newman – All-Time scoring leader in Soccer ⚽️

Alyssa Ervin – All-Time scoring leader in Basketball 🏀

Jabin Talley – All-Time wins leader in Tennis 🎾

Emma Leath – Holds both the All-Time Pitching victories and Strikeouts.

Hoping everyone has an enjoyable Graduation 🎓 weekend !
