“Not the traditional scrimmage.
They’re actually letting everyone bat every inning.”

More to follow…

From Coach Nester :

Cavalier Softball began its 2025 season tonight with a scrimmage against Wytheville. The girls played well in all parts of the game. They were fundamentally sound in pitching, hitting, and defense.

   They were many hard-hit balls put in play throughout the lineup. Both pitchers did an outstanding job with only one walk throughout the evening.

Defensively they played very solid. Throughout the game, there were many girls that were in different defensive positions than they played last year, and none of them seem to be overwhelmed at any time.

    I told the girls after the game that, even though they were girls playing different positions from last year, that athletes can play the game! And they played very well! We were very pleased with their effort and play tonight.

Β Β  A good day for the scrimmage maybe the warmest one I can remember.

Marion Harris cashes in five years worth of OneofUs.Care credits for his maiden voyage to the ACC Men’s Basketball πŸ€ Tournament !

Marion Harris is having himself a Day, even if its a Hokie and not a Tar Heel kinda day.

Vickey Ritchie will have us covered in regards to the School 🏫 Board meeting and we have Chris & Velvet Leonard βž• Donna Nester along with Coach Nester to keep us in the know about the Softball scrimmage while I monitor the Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ game up in Bluefield.

Meanwhile, here in Charlotte, Marion will be writing ✍ about the Hokies and the other Golden Bears of California. We are both keeping Mr Hokie, Allen Worrell in our Thoughts and Prayers all week πŸ™.

It’s neat that Marion was able to chose a first time experience for his 1,000,000 credits earned !

So, quick recap, pull for some Golden Bears 🐻 but not others + for Brett to have a Kodak moment and for our Lady Cavaliers πŸ‘© to have a safe and productive scrimmage !

Tomorrow’s games

Tuesday will be a Cavalier kinda Day with four events βž• the ACC Men’s tournament down in Charlotte βž• our Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball plays nearby in Bluefield and someone who is pretty Cool 😎 will have a moment at the School Board meeting !

Thankfully Mr Kevin DeHaven will correct me if anything changes in regards to today in regarding the four High School events.

Rick Nester, Martin McKenzie and both Coach Johnson and Coach Puckett will lead teams today as scrimmages are in full swing. We hope to be able to share some notes πŸ“ from any and / or all of them afterwards.

After two games earlier with Bluefield State, our Golden Bears 🐻 will face Bluefield University for the first time this season.

Down in the Queen πŸ‘Έ City, six teams will try to extend their stay by at least one day as the opening tip is at 2pm. The UVA Cavaliers won the five team tiebreaker at 8-12, allowing the Hoos to sit out today’s session.

  The last thing taking place today is over at the monthly School Board meeting and while I won’t get into it ahead of time, I am excited about the recognition that will be taking place.

  A number of events will be taking place today and we will see πŸ‘€ how well we can do shining a light on them !

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ

Day 576 in the effort to make sure that the word is a Positive One ! Next Stop βœ‹ is 600!!
