To compete at the highest level in a Sport nowadays, it requires a great deal of commitment from both the Coaches and the Players. It would be short sided to not mention the families on that list, so let’s not make that mistake.
Off season workouts, year around Travel Ball and time in the weight room are all parts of the process.
One subject that we have yet to tackle in regards to our Book 📖 is the amount of Softball played by these Home Town heroes prior to Coach Rick Nester taking over in 2013.
Monday morning at 11am I will have an opportunity 🙏 to visit with Mr Alvin Davidson and I believe this Proud Dad might be able to shine some light on this subject !
Already looking forward to the conversation with Gracie’s Dad 👨
August 9th has always been a special day on the Calender for us and now it will have a second reason as today will end one very bizarre weeks in our 40+ years together.
If everything goes as planned, he will make it back to Laurel Fork after a lengthy stay at Duke University Medical Center.
For those of you that reached out during the past week, God Bless You 🙏. Working on the book 📖 and the High Jump project provided a nice diversion !
If it took place on a Cavalier playing field there’s a good chance that Mr & Mrs Gallimore were in attendance ! Sure enough, Bill and Linda have been experiencing Lady 👩 Cavaliers Softball since the beginning of the Rick Nester era.
In a search for folks in the community that were along for the ride, asking Bill to turn back the clock ⏰ to reflect on what they remember seemed like a natural thing to do.
” Looking back, following the Carroll County High School softball team from 2013 to their unforgettable state championship win in 2015 was one of the most exciting experiences we’ve ever had as fans. It all started when our neighbor joined the team and we began attending games to show our support.
Before long, our casual interest turned into real enthusiasm—we rarely missed a game. As the 2015 season unfolded, it became clear that this team was something special. With every win, the momentum grew, and so did the crowds. By the time the championship game arrived at Liberty University, the energy was electric, and the fan support was overwhelming.
Witnessing Carroll County High School secure its first-ever state team championship was nothing short of amazing. The ride home from Lynchburg was filled with joy, pride, and celebration. Go Cavs Go!!!”
Bill & Linda Gallimore
Thank You Sir, for taking the time to jot down your thoughts 🙏 ➕ your unconditional support of Carroll County Softball.
Mr Gallimore was also able to provide me with an update on one of the 15 players on the field back in Lynchburg. Sydney Childress is currently living in Alaska and teaching School up there. She might win the award for furthest removed from Carroll County…
