The chairmen of The (Baseball) Board!

There were a number of outstanding pieces to the Alumni Baseball ⚾️ Showcase on Sunday. Today we are going to focus on the debut of the Records Board.

  Our Velvet Creed Leonard captured the moment with five Alumni that were in attendance that day. You see the photo above and the faces should look familiar to diehard Carroll County Baseball ⚾️ fans.

Going left to right, Casey Burcham, Rod Bryant, Hix Miller, Craig Worrell and Adam Nester.

  Our goal here is to tell the stories of who we are and any chance we can we ask the folks that are available to tell their story, we jump at the chance to ask them to do so.

  The Board is just another step 🚶‍♂️ along the path that Casey & Combs are going down in hopes of embracing the programs history. Now that I have written about it and Velvet has captured it, its time to ask some of the people that have earned a spot on the board what it means to them to be on The Board.

   We are going to extend the invitation to all of the members but we will start with Mr. Rod Bryant. Tricky part is that Rod Bryant doesn’t know that yet, but hopefully he will soon ! (SPELLCHECK isn’t always your friend – Thanks Mr. DeHaven !

   Thank You to C & C for creating the board, Congratulations 👏 to everyone who has earned the their spot on the board and now the journey begins to get folks to describe what the honor 🎖 means to them.

At 1:09 am balance was restored out here in our Village that we call Laurel Fork !!!

Quick Thank You to Ashton Richardson for being the choffuer for her younger brother tonight.

This story dates back to last Basketball 🏀 season when we encouraged our LF Native Son to perform the National Anthem before a Boys Basketball game in hopes of raising money 💰 for a Mission Trip.

The trip was extended a few days on the way home and the group found themselves in London, England 🇬🇧 for a couple of days unexpectedly. If you look closely 👀 at Ethan you will notice that the shirt 👕 he is wearing is from London.

The group had been in Africa 🌍 before the layover in London and we are sure there are tremendous stories to tell and we hope Ethan 🙏 will eventually bounce back from a rough return trip and share some of them with us.

Obviously our Ethan wasn’t the sole person that was on the trip so if there is anyone else that made the once or twice in a lifetime journey we welcome them to share.

In roughly 27 hours Ethan will begin his Senior year on The Hill and its a safe bet he will sleep 💤😴 at least 50% of that time. Once he awakes ⏰ he will resume being our loveable young man that Swims, plays hoops and Tennis 🎾 all while cheering for Duke and treating people with respect.

Welcome 🙏 Home Ethan Richardson 💙

Great night 🌙 of Fun took place on The Hill tonight !

Things just wrapped up at Tommy Thompson Field and there are so many feel good stories to share!

It was a difficult call on which photo 📷 should be the lead and I settled on these two impressive Student Athletes 👏.

Very excited about the Sports section of The Carroll News tomorrow as its set to contain our full length feature story on Adrienne Harris. I was able to tell the ever so hard working young man 👨 standing next to her that he’s welcomed to be next.

Two of our County’s finest posed for a picture 📷 – Mr Ryan Largen and Mrs. Tammy Quesenberry…

.

Fun fact with this photo 📷, Mr. Kevin DeHaven is now the immediate Supervisor for both of the other ttwo fine gentlemen. It was great to interact with the Three Musketeers for a few minutes!

The hardworking cadets in our JROTC had their pull-up bars out and they had plenty of participants.

Two young ladies that seem inseparable !

Great weather, Great turnout and so many options !

Mr. Trenton Miller took time from his spot to pose for a photo 📷

The next photo 📷 was the final one taken and I’m sure it was the first time some of these folks had the opportunity to catch their breath.

For the second time inside of 72 hours the folks in and around Carroll County gathered together ❤ and had some well deserved fun !

Quick acknowledgment for Cross Country Head Coach Shawn Montgomery as his Boys 👦 and Girls 👧 begin practice this week!

Each fall Coach Montgomery leads our Boys and Girls Cross Country teams into action 🎬. Yesterday we took a look at the upcoming Volleyball season and today we hope to check in with Coach Montgomery to see how his initial Tryouts are progressing.

Montgomery is one of the easiest people for us to work with because he understands the fact that we want to reckonize each and every Student Athlete that takes the time to wear our Colors !

Hopefully we will have something 🙏 to add to the bottom of this post later after we hear back from Coach…
