One very special Happy Birthday 🎂, two gifts to bring home and apologies 🙏 for three errors committed Thursday…

Tracy Mellis is celebrating her 64th Birthday 🎂 with us today as she is playing the role of Care Giver ❤💙 to her younger Sister / my Wife as Lin recovers from Surgery – Happy Birthday Princess 👸💖.

  Thank You to Forrest Johnson 🙏 for the gift 🎁 yesterday afternoon when our paths crossed. Know that I will be wearing it proudly on Senior Night (Monday, May 5th) when we talk about your group of young men.

Bonus announcement – Boys Soccer ⚽️ will once again be FREE on Monday night!!!!  We will have more details about this soon !

Thank You to the CCHS Softball team for the plant and the card 🙏 that was presented before the game last night 🌙. Please know that it made Lin smile 😃

Borrowing from Pardon the Interruption, let’s go over the 3 errors and apologize for them.

#1 – Not catching the fact that Chloe Gravely was pinch hitting in the bottom of the third inning of the JV game for Ailey Cochran. Corrected the oops but hate that it happened.

#2 – Handing a microphone 🎤 to Macie Adkins with the mute 🔇 button engaged. We didn’t figure that one out until after the game. We improvised well enough but it meant Macie was stuck up top with us in stead of hanging out with her friends and family 👪.

#3 – The final error was I tried to make Tammy Quesenberry a year older when I was writing ✍ the game story. Her Granddaughter, Addie Greene is still a Sophomore, not a Junior. We corrected it quickly but all of the email 📧 subscribers had it showing incorrectly.

Donna Nester captures a Priceless moment!

Have yourselves a Blessed 🙌 Friday !
