Lady πŸ‘© Cavaliers Softball is busy, busy, busy but tonight most of them slowed down for a bit as the program held its end of the season gathering ahead of a late night game over in Grayson County for the youngsters…

Our Kevin Burress is on the job tonight over in Grayson County for a Dixie All-Star showdown that was nearly 90 minutes late getting underway.

” We were nearly an hour and a half late starting. Carroll County All Stars playing Galax. 0 to 0 in the bottom of the 1st as we come for our first plate appearances. “

The young Lady πŸ‘© in the middle of this photo πŸ“· is one of the ball players that might be up past her normal bedtime πŸŒ™ tonight.

” Going to the top of the 2nd, Carroll is up 4 to 0 !”

The set-up for the picnic started at 3pm and the event officially started at 6pm.

Lucas Dalton blessed the meal that awaited the team and everyone in attendance helped themselves to an enjoyable meal.

Almost 100% retired Darrin Mathews and his beautiful Bride πŸ‘° were part of the crowd and Mrs. Mathews promised she would be able to keep her husband busy with a list of things that filled a page, both front and back.

Emma Harman might have been the absentee player with the most colorful reason as the second baseman is currently performing with the dance πŸ’ƒ team on a cruise πŸ›³ ship.

Carlie Beamer and Natalie Burress took home the longest drive πŸš— to attend award as the duo returned from a Church outing up in Roanoke and were headed back afterwards.

Our host and hostess, Coach Nester and Donna headed out to Independence to cheer on the little ones after all the cleanup was complete at the picnic Pavillion.

The evening did also allow the passing out some more of our 10 Fab Four Photos πŸ“·

Then there was this interesting moment steming from realizing that you have found the ultimate Wing Man πŸ‘¨

Kevin just sent an interesting photo πŸ“·

He calls it a spectator…

If the game ever ends we will post a Final Score. Until then just know that Softball here in Carroll County is just a Family πŸ‘ͺ Thing !

7 to 3 us going to the bottom of the 3rd (10:27 pm)

10:38 – 9 to 3 us going to the top of the 4th. We will play 5 innings

Editing Note :

Just a small correction if I may, this isn’t travel ball, this is Dixie All Stars from Rec ball! Love the article

Carroll County wins in 4 by mercy rule 13 to 3. Great game by the girls with great hitting, pitching and defense!

Stop βœ‹ #4 of 10 takes us to the 🏑 of Mr. Bill Gallimore !

Almost halfway to getting the 10 enlarged Fab Four Photos πŸ“· delivered and this one is special. When Kris Richardson and I combined our efforts for just over one year to create our Basketball πŸ€ Book πŸ“– on the Back 2 Back State Championships we invisioned hundreds of people taking the book and going around to collect autographs from the players and Coaches.

The reality is the count stopped at one and that one was Mr. Bill Gallimore ! Kris and I are both very appreciative of Bill because while 1 is a small number, its a World 🌎 apart from ZERO. Now, whether or Bill takes a fine tipped Sharpie and recreates history is up to him but I wouldn’t rule it out.

Six more to pass out and looking forward to each one of them !
