We will have a Game Story on the Girls victory over Glenvar tonight but first things first. After the game I was fortunate enough to get 10 quality minutes with Veteran Head Coach Howard Mayo. Combined, Mayo and I have over 100 years around the game of Basketball 🏀, so its a treat to compare notes 📝 with someone else who has spent their entire life around the game that I love.
I would include Kris Richardson in this story but the only time I upset 😡 my friend and neighbor was the day I called him elderly. So maybe in another 10 years we could add him to the lifers club.
Once again, our Junior Varsity Girls were denied an opportunity to represent our School 🏫 and Community. Hence, the Milk Carton reference. I smiled when our hard working JV Coach (Hailie Cushman) smiled when I made the reference. The number of times that our younger Lady 👩 Cavaliers were ready to play ▶️ and couldn’t is flirting with double figures.
I appreciate that our team is still engaged and looking to play. Monday night at Christiansburg is quite possibly the final window of opportunity for our Coaches and players.
In regards to tomorrow morning 🌄, we have big events taking place on several fronts.
Wrestling Coach West Long will be getting up at the crack of dawn to take his team to the Regional tournament at Staunton River High School 🏫.
Both of our Swim 🏊♂️ Teams are heading up to Christiansburg for their Regional meet.
The day is going to push Shannon Dalton past her unbelievable commitment.
” Thanks for the well wishes. Tomorrow will be both region swim and region Scholastic Bowl. The day has finally come when I can’t actually be in two places at once.”
You can tell that quote was from Mrs Dalton because I would have used a Capital R in region.
We are going to need some help on a number of fronts to get everyone involved the coverage their day deserves 👏.
Toss in that Elijah Cox and Randolph will be playing at 4:30 pm over in Danville and Alyssa Ervin just finished up down at UNC – Wilmington
Back to Coach Mayo, I am already looking forward to next time our paths cross as the opportunity to compare notes 📝 with a fellow lifer is a treasure for someone who has five decades of experience with the game of Roundball
Next stop ✋ will be the Girls 👧 Gamer !
