_____________________________

First Up is Raylee :

I’m honestly so grateful for my amazing support system! My team has always had my back, cheering me on through all the ups and downs. Whenever I mess up on the court, my teammates are right there to lift me up and remind me that we’re all in this together.

It really feels like I have a second family that believes in me no matter what!

Being on varsity this year has been such an incredible experience, and I can see how much I’ve improved! I’m learning something new every day and getting better with each game.

I also want to give a shoutout to my coaches, who are always there to guide us and help us develop our skills.

Their support and encouragement really mean a lot to me! My mom and dad, along with the rest of my family, are my number one supporters, always in the stands cheering for me. I really appreciate everything my team, coaches, and family do, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season goes!

Next Up : Assistant Coach Maleah Neely :

I don’t even know if Raylee knows this, but I have known her for all of her life. I remember her momma bringing her to a basketball game her sister Kayla and I were playing in, so it’s super crazy to be coaching her now.

She has such a high ceiling and is a fantastic athlete. As a freshman, Raylee is already doing things and making plays that are far beyond her years.

She has been a steady compliment to Laiken on the right side and has really stepped up to make things happen on the court. Raylee is learning to find her voice on a group that has strong voices already, and she is growing every time she steps on the court.

She is training behind Laiken as a setter, learning everything she can because it’ll be her role in a couple years. Her confidence is continuing to grow with each rep that she is able to get.

As a multi sport athlete, Raylee is always on the go. From softball to
basketball and volleyball, Raylee is super well rounded. I have been excited to see the lightbulb moments she has had so far this year and I am looking forward to see her continued growth.

She’s definitely going to be one to watch over her high school career in all the sports that she plays.

________________

From Mom 👩 and Dad 👨:

As parents, what we admire about Raylee is her love of God, family, and friends. God has blessed Raylee, with not only being athletic, but having a loving heart and a great personality. She enjoys spending time with her family, especially her nieces and nephews.

When she is with her friends that is when her personality shines.Raylee plays three sports: Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball. When we ask her what her favorite is she will tell you, “I love them all!” 

Her toughness. hustle, and willingness to learn from coaches and teammates is what makes her a very special young lady. She also enjoys spending time outdoors hunting and fishing with the family.

With Raylee’s schedule there is very little down time. She is always on the go, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We are very proud of Raylee and are excited to see what God has in store for her future!

Raylee Goins is such an athletic kid who is also a 3 sport athlete she works so hard at every sport she plays. She is a joy to be around and a laugh that makes your day .

Her potential is amazing because of how hard she works. I can’t wait to see the end product in 4 years.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you, Miss Raylee Goins….

While the official start time is not for roughly 3 hours yet, I will start my Celebration a little early. The parking lot across the street is full at 11am on a Sunday, leading me to believe that the leadership of the School has opened the doors 🚪 once again.

A second option could be that the Bingo Party 🥳 last night is still going on… as fun of a thought as that is, I am pretty sure that’s not the case.

Answer – Church ⛪ Services

So much has changed in our lives over the past 10 days since the Hurricane 🌀 disrupted so many lives. I am very proud of the leadership 👏 being shown from within our School 🏫 and our Community. Sadly, we live in a World 🌎 where it’s very easy to second guess and do so loudly.

Today was a day set aside for us to Celebrate the accomplishments of Casey Burcham and Steve Combs. Both of those guys 👦 will quickly tell you that its a long, long list of Folks that jumped on their Train 🚆 in regards to the Indoor Hitting Center.

11:07 – Jeff Tobler wins the prize of being the second person here !

We are still going to have as much fun as possible today. We are still going to celebrate Casey & Combs. We are still going to show off our new Stadium 🏟 seats 💺. The only thing that will be different is the “Live” money 💰 raised today will be given to a LOCAL group helping our Neighbors in regards to the Storm.

God’s Storehouse and local Students 🙏 that have been displaced from normalcy.

Rick and Donna Nester came up with the tweak and Casey Burcham needed half a second to agree.

11:14 – Coach Nester gets the Bronze Medal 🥉🏅….

Leadership isn’t an easy thing to provide and its not for everyone but we have it in Spades around here and its special to see. Nobody was thinking about devastating Flood Waters 💧 two weeks ago, atleast I wasn’t. Resilient People rally around each other and have to make tough decisions and we are Blessed to have enough 🙏 of them ❤ around…..

Come on out and celebrate with us, officially we start at 2pm but there’s plenty of Good People buzzing around now if you enjoy being around Quality Souls.

One more time to say Thank You to Alexis Dalton for taking point on the Game and Home Run 🏃‍♂️ Derby !

It was Austin Keith’s first block Building Trades class.Jaylon Bullion, Evan Webb, Daniel Easter,Lilly Jackson, Kyra Parks, Jesse Edwards, Landen Austin & Samuel McGrady.

That was the text message from Mr. Stephen Puckett in regards to who exactly pitched in during a much needed time Thursday morning 🌄.

To fully appreciate Thursday morning we have to go back to late Wednesday afternoon. It was closing in on 5:00 pm when Paul Nester and Donald Dalton were finishing up their third and final day of creating the brick wrap around for our new Stadium seats 💺at Cavalier Park.

The wall stands six and 1/2 feet tall in back. By the time the day ended, neither of them were going to be hanging around to do a complete clean up. Coach Rick Nester and myself were both ready to call it a day as well so there was a decent amount of cleanup that needed to be done. The decision was made to get it done the following morning.

While my being of assistance during the build was incredibly limited to what a non-skilled person could do, I knew that it would only be Rick down there on Thursday morning.

So I headed back to The Hill to make sure Coach wasn’t alone. Much to my surprise, when I pulled into the lot I noticed the place had been 100% put back together !!!

Saying Thank You 🙏 to people that perform acts of kindness ❤ is quite possibly my favorite thing to do. This led me to ask Stephen if he could help me give a proper Thank You to both the teacher and the students. Love the fact that we can say THANK YOU to the entire group…
