On top of everything else taking place in regards to trying hard to cram games into calendar spots, we have 8 teams trying to improve their Regional tournament seedings.
The decision has been made that there will not be any postseason for the four Junior Varsity teams. The Nester Nine JV Baseball team is on the cusp of capturing a SIXTH straight Three Rivers District crown 👑.
The two Track 👣 and Field teams have a straight forward path in regards to their postseason. They will compete on May 22nd at Floyd County in the District meet and then the following week its off to Christiansburg (May 31st) for the Regional meet and finally to Lynchburg for the State Meet on June 6th.
Tennis 🎾 has Regionals next week on May 22nd and 23rd. We will know shortly if any of out players qualify in Singles or Doubles.
That leaves four teams trying to move up the Food Chain over the coming days.
Baseball, Softball and both Soccer teams are looking to improve their spots in the 10 team fields. Normally, tracking this might be considered a task but for Kevin DeHaven this week, its a perk to have something other than weather radar to think about.
Baseball is in an ideal spot and Softball is currently sitting one spot out of an invitation. The good news for the Lady Cavaliers is that they are 2-2 versus their four remaining opponents, giving them an opportunity to move up.
Our two Soccer teams are looking to land either a seven or eight seed which would allow them to host a opening round game ( 7 vs 10 or 8 vs 9). Soccer in our area is a great deal like Tennis in regards to the level of talent that we are competing against.
The matches tonight for the Boys teams are important to both Forrest Johnson and Jeremy Puckett. Johnson is trying to improve his seed while Puckett is trying to get in any games they can get played.
In closing, 17 was a big number yesterday afternoon in Abingdon. Corrie Delp set a PR by jumping 17 feet and the Track 👣 and Field teams set 17 total PR’s!
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌!
