Linda and I are finishing up our packing ahead of our 6 week, 4 Country excursion set to begin on Friday. But now there’s a reason to bring my Laptop 💻 on the trip!

Anthony Barnes, Kris Richardson and I have a pretty unique Bond that has built up over the past four years. This season will be our final one as a trio and we will do it on with style and grace.

I understand that with 20+ teams comes 20+ Coaches. This means 20+ personalities and 20+ agendas 📋 and not everyone has a need or desire for what we specialize in. There is nothing He Man about anything we do, just trying hard to provide extremely positive coverage for our Student Athletes in addition to giving the Coaches a platform for their message.

Teaming with Barnes and Richardson is a dream team type of project. When all 3 people have the exact same Agenda it just flows !

You will notice that we were missing one player at practice today – #5 EJ Conner. The photo 📷 of the Basketball 🏀 reminds me that we need one more pic.

This young man 👨 is a Swedish Exchange Student with two years of eligibility remaining, but no not really.

Davis Reitzel is as pleasant as the Day is long. Getting to see him was a bonus and he happily provided answers for the Player Profiles. His will be the first Profile we release so people will know what’s going on.

We will release them one at a time so that each one will be a Stand Alone story, having its own Moment in the Sun 🌞.

Also, I would like to add that we will still happily share any news or tidbits received while we are out of the Country.

Here are some photos sent in by Adrienne Harris from the Varsity scrimmage this morning at George Wythe High School 🏫.

Thank You Ma’am !

Last week Mr. (JAY) Holderfield sent me a text message saying there was something waiting for me at the High School 🏫 the next time I was around.

I was smiling from ear to ear Yesterday when I stopped by and was handed a FBLA T-shirt 👕 and the Thank You card pictured above. The Future Business Leaders of America were one of the six recipients so far in the Cavalier Kudos program and they took the time to acknowledge the $500.00 donation.

I’m very, very Old School and raised my Children to be the same. Yes Ma’am, No Sir, Please and Thank You are all incredibly important parts of showing kindness and respect to others.

The Hope tied to the Cavalier Kudos program was to show that its not just about Athletic teams. The Hope was to create a path for the folks who teach our students and organize our events so more people could take advantage of the platform.

Putting two faces atop every single story I create on this site, the faces that were nominated and chosen from the previous month was designed to make someone feel appreciated. I have yet to have that come up in a conversation.

While there’s no official Batting Order in my Life, if there was one it would look something like this –

God

Family

Country

My Sites

Everything is a learning experience when you try to do something outside of the Box 📦. Just know that yesterday the folks that are our FBLA took the time to say Thank You, which allows me to say, You are Most Welcome 🙏.

Thank You for your efforts and the amount of Class you all display when you are representing CCHS !
