Looks like we have our first score, tie πŸ‘” at 3-3

Update from coach Nester:

Addie Greene pitched game one and threw really well only allowing one walk. Defense was solid behind her. Offensively for CCHS scored runs on bunts, infield singles and a fielder’s choice. Two for two on stolen bases.

Somethings you simply cannot make up… the on-going search for a real nights sleep…Welcome πŸ™ to Saturday morning πŸŒ„

  Trying everything possible to get a full and healthy πŸ™ night πŸŒ™ of sleep πŸ’€ in hopes of slowing down the roller coaster 🎒 ride that is life, we faced a new challenge late Friday night / early Saturday morning.

  Fire πŸ”₯ alarms that would wake the dead, or so it seems, starting going off an the Pineville, North Carolina Hotel 🏨 where we are staying.

The good news is that the Fireman could not find any flames so they eventually have to let us back inside to retrieve our belongings.

Saturday was already set to be a crazy kinda Day without the latest challenge. Here’s a number of things we will try to keep an eye on today.

Our Softball team is going to be heading up to Tazewell for the annual Jamboree for a day of Softball scrimmages.

At 1pm, Hopewell and Spotswood will meet to determine whether Carroll County was knocked out by the Class 3 State Champs πŸ†or the Runner Ups. Should be an interesting Basketball game.

Up in Ohio, our Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ will look to build on momentum from winning a 12 inning affair yesterday afternoon and evening. Game two will be completed and then Game three will be played.

In Charlotte at 8:30 pm, the top two seeds will play for the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship as Duke will face Louisville for the crown πŸ‘‘.

11am – Our Region neighbors, Lord Botetourt will try and keep the Class 3 Girls πŸ‘§ Basketball πŸ€ title in the Family πŸ‘ͺ.

We had an opportunity to visit  yesterday with the Man πŸ‘¨ that will slide into the remaining slot vacated by the untimely passing of our Coach Jeff Tobler. Hopefully we can transcribe those notes πŸ“ as well.

All of this while trying to safely navigate our way down to Hilton Head Island πŸ—ΏπŸ for what was supposed to be a relaxing week before Oracle had other plans.

Life is chalk full of unforseen obstacles and all you can do is roll with the punch πŸ‘Šes.

Go out there and have yourself a Blessed Day !

Let’s begin Saturday with the end of Alyssa Ervin’s Freshman year at Elon University.

Year one of four is in the books πŸ“š for Carroll County High School Alum Alyssa Ervin.

Elon University was knocked out of its league tournament up in Washington DC and appears to have finished up at 15-15. We cannot rule out a post season bid to a lesser event but it seems unlikely.

Ervin appeared in 22 of the teams 30 games and reached double figures twice. A season high 24 minutes played netted a season high 12 points versus College of Charleston and Ervin dropped 10 points at Virginia Tech early in the season.

62 points scored across 22 games, left our Freshman averaging 2.82 points on the season.  Looking forward to three more seasons of College Basketball πŸ€ for Ervin !
