As Marion Harris and I head through the rain 🌧 storm on our way to Page County for tomorrows event in Luray, he took the time to drop some knowledge about the Softball journey in 2015.
Item #1 – Marion Harris is a serious Talent scout ! We had a great deal of fun telling people that before Kris Richardson coached her up and Marc Motley and Ed Robtison polished the talented Alyssa Ervin into the All-Time scoring leader at Carroll County High School, it was Mr Harris that encouraged a very young Miss Ervin to try basketball.
So its no surprise to find out that young Syd played on a U-10 Soccer team coached by Harris…. Not sure if she was nudged towards Softball or not but fun just the same.
#2 – The Legend of Cheyenne Strickland : Marion tells the story about a Volleyball 🏐 game at Ferrum College, where Strickland opened a set at the service line and proceeded to run off 25 straight points. Don’t know if she sold popcorn in the stands before we next set.
#3 – Going to Facebook Jail while providing live coverage of the game from the stands at Liberty University. Harris was updating at a pitch by pitch level which triggered an Alarm that led out Hero to the penalty box.
#4 – Marion describes the scene at the park as a moment that ranks high on the list of Proud Carroll County moments. The sea of humanity 💙…..
