Alyssa Ervin and the Elon Phoenix are set to host High Point University in a Division 1 Women’s Basketball 🏀 game. It’s been a Hot 🔥 Minute since a Carroll County High School 🏫 graduate 🎓 laced them up for a College Basketball 🏀 game at the Top Level.
The four year ride that Ervin ( now pushing 6 feet tall) and the Lady 👩 Cavaliers took the community on is behind us now. Gone, but not forgotten might be the best way to say it. The level of success that Ervin will find going forward is yet to be determined but I’m proud to say that I’m pulling for her to find the level of success.
See, when are Driven to a point where people might be put off by your level of caring and passion, the natural thought process is to seek out others that are the same way. That’s the bond between the path that Ervin is on and my own.
Chasing something with everything you have can be a lonely journey. Tonight is Game 1 of Year 1 of that journey and because of the size of the stage, it will be easy enough to follow.
Tonight our #1 will be wearing #3 and while we won’t know the outcome for years to come, I wouldn’t bet against Ervin accomplishing her goals.
One of the things that will assist Ervin is the Love and Support of her Family 👪. There are going to be struggles along the way when you go from being the Big Fish 🐟 in the Little Pond versus the Little Fish in the incredibly large Ocean.
One of the most important things that someone can have is a circle of Support. There’s a big ole check ✔ in that box 📦 for Ervin, two generations worth and they will be there for her every step 🚶♂️of the journey.
Four Amazing seasons that included two State Championship Wins and two close calls look impressive 👏 on a resume. It opens doors 🚪to a place like Elon University and tonight a very talented and DRIVEN young Lady 👩 is going to walk through said door. Six ➕ hours until Tip Off…
Go Elon, Go Alyssa and don’t forget to take the time to enjoy the journey!
