We have made it to Ferrum for the Annual meeting between Madison Stockner and Kalee Bunn ! Coach Edwards brought over 17 of our current Volleyball 🏐 players and we should have a fun evening….
More to come later…..
Set #1 went to the home 🏡 standing Panthers 25-22.
Set #2 goes to the visiting Royals 26-24 [7:05 pm]. Two evenly balanced teams to this point !
Set #3 lasted 33 minutes with Eastern Mennonite University finally closing it out, 28-26. As back and forth as it could be !
7:41 – Set #4 about to get underway… Ferrum up 19-15, trying hard to force a fifth and final game.
8:26 – Ferrum ends the night 🌙 with a 5-0 run 🏃♂️, winning 15-10.
Getting to spend time yesterday afternoon with Lawrence Nesselrodt and Joe Goddard was a true blessing 🙏. Right up until it was time to head out for the trip home 🏡.
Lawrence, like Alan Knight, is a ball Coach that I’ve been working with for nearly 20 years now. Joe Goddard is someone that has been a part of my life for roughly half that time and being around him is an inspiration.
Pretty neat that if you Google Joe Goddard, three of the Photos 📷 are ones that I have taken for stories where I have written about him.
Yesterday was a typical day during the “off” season of College Baseball ⚾️ as our 52 players were divided up over a number of efforts. One portion (12) of them were making the drive over to Huntington for a fund raiser, providing assistance with a Concert. Another group was involved with helping Coach in a nearby Youth Baseball tournament. There’s never a dull moment in the World of Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️. It was a tremendous day but I feel fortunate that I don’t have to be a functional Adult for a few hours.
Tonight (October 30th) has been circled on my calendar 📅 for a couple of months and the event of the Day will take place over in Ferrum. Eastern Mennonite University will be coming South to face the home team Ferrum in a Volleyball 🏐 match that will include Madison Stockner (EMU) and Kalee Bunn (Ferrum). Stockner and Bunn were teammates at Carroll County High School under the guidance of Long Time Coach Cindy Edwards.
While that I have written about Miss Stockner, both in our Basketball 🏀 book 📖 and on our site, I have never had the privilege of meeting her.
Bunn and her family 👪 were such a pleasure to meet last month when I wondered over to Ferrum for a match with Averett. Looking forward to seeing them again here in a few hours!
Bonus news is that Allen Worrell is good with running 🏃♂️ a story on the night 🌙!
Double Bonus News – Coach Edwards is offering to bring any of her current players along for the scenic drive 🚗 over to the 🏡 of the Panthers.
Round 3 of the Lady 👩 Cavalier versus the Lady 👩 Cavalier – The College Years ! Should be a fun night 🌙, just need to truly wake ⏰ up and get back to just feeling old. Speaking of which, anyone out there remember Uncle Joe and Petticoat Junction ?
