Here is what we know to be factual in regards to the seven games / matches listed above :
#3 of 7 – Our Junior Varsity Baseball ⚾️ team has earned a forfeit victory, 2-0. Good News on the victory, Bad news on the fact that the Nester Nine misses out an opportunity to play in front of their 🏡 fans.
#6 of 7 – Brittany Kinney and her Junior Varsity Girls Soccer ⚽️ team will be playing their final game at Tommy Thompson Field but they will now be playing the second game of the doubleheader.
#7 of 7 – Adrienne Harris and her Varsity Girls team will be playing now at 4:30. This allows our Head Coach to get to her Kindergarten Graduation 🎓 on time.
#8 of 7 – Martin McKenzie and his Girls Tennis 🎾 team will not be traveling up to Alleghany High today due to a shortage of available players.
#9 of 7 – Tonight’s Soccer ⚽️ is once again Free of Charge, as ASPN will flip the bill in order to have the setting double as a Dr Ben Tickle Going Away Party 🥳
The long time cornerstone of Carroll County High School will be finishing his move down to Florida here in a few days (May 28th). The opportunity to send him off with well wishes and do it on a night 🌙 when the Girls 👧 Soccer teams are playing matches is the Websters definition of a No Brainer.
Among the dump truck 🚚 load of people who will miss him is the young Ladies he coached last season. Every member of the group that I labeled the Battling Ben Tickles are invited to pen 🖊 a note 📝 to him that I will happily share over the PA system during the evening.
#10 of 7 – The folks at The Carroll News will be busy tonight down in Mount Airy, North Carolina from 4 to 6 pm. There will be wonderful 👏 News for some Carroll County High School Athletes 🏫 that will become public knowledge shortly!
Every now and then, two of the Worlds I spend time in have a cross over moment and that was the case yesterday afternoon at the Tennis Senior Day affair. Anyone who follows our efforts knows of the connection between myself and Vickey Ritchie. Pressly ” Money 💰” Talley was in attendance and we were able to share a moment. Also. Thank You to Vickey for stopping by !
Another moment to treasure came in the form of meeting Rambo’s Father 👨 for the first time as we went over some notes about his Senior Night material.
Mr D – T – L has some game and he once again shared the Press Box with me and rolled the names of our JV team like an absolute professional. Truly enjoy this young Man and his talents.
The young Lady on the left has once again messed with my schedule. The goal was to hit the road by Memorial Day weekend but Corrie Delp will be performing in Lynchburg, Virginia on June 6th so that becomes to new end of the road. The three folks in this Photo 📷 are pretty Awesome !
Mr Dalton shared a priceless memory with me during our chat. Here you see a very young Rambo and Cody Reece.

While I have no photo of Rick & Donna Nester to prove it, the Ole Ball Coach crushed the speech honoring our Principal, Chuck Thompson !!
Missed an opportunity to get a Photo 📷 of the Smoots and Daltons together, but maybe 👀 someone who took one can help me out later.
Having our fans back on our side of the Pitch and nobody was more thrilled than Tammy Quesenberry !!
I still owe both Jeremy Puckett and Forrest Johnson game stories for Allen Worrell and that will come after the next nap!
