In a game that I have always called ” Rest Area Leap Frog 🐸”, I will add thoughts about today at each available Rest Area along the route.
Stop ✋#1 – Radford area(MM 108)…. Starting out with the Who, What, Where, Why , When line of questions….
Who : Britt Berrier just graduated 🎓 from Carroll County High School and is preparing to start college as a Student Athlete with the sport being Baseball. While at CCHS he played under the guidance of Kevin DeHaven and in his final season, Casey Burcham.
Where : Charlottesville, Virginia or as I call it, Hoosville. Our youngest of five graduated 🎓 from UVA so its near and dear to us.
When : Today, beginning at 3pm, with the first pitch set for 6pm. Weather permitting has to be added.
What : Virginia Baseball Coaches Association All-Star 🌟 game in which the top players from each of the six classes are invited to showcase their skills.
Why : in regards to this one, my quest is to gather up enough information throughout the day to create a story for Allen Worrell to run in The Carroll News. The story is about a young man 👨, who I don’t personally know, that wore our colors across four years and did so well enough that he was invited to UVA.
Ideally, we will get a quote from both of his head Coaches and maybe even Father and Son. It’s a Big Day for a Cavalier and the goal is to properly frame it up for him!
Funny thing happened on the way to the second Rest Area….Coach Burcham received an email 📧 from the VBCA saying that the game has been postponed due to the Weather forecast and a decision will be made later in regards to rescheduling.
Coach / Athletic Director Kevin DeHaven took the time to offer his thoughts on this impressive young Man.
” Britt is a very knowledge young man of the game of baseball. He notices players swings and knows what pitches will work for our pitchers. But more importantly he is a GREAT young man. He goes out of his way to make teammates, even the young ones feel as they are part of the team. I will miss him!”
