Kevin DeHaven is entering Year 2 of filling the shoes 👞 of long time Athletic Director, Darrin Mathews. The great news is he survived Year 1 and returned for Year 2!

  Having worked with AD’s now for decades at different levels, this is only the second time that I have worked with one while he or she has children competing in Sports at the same time. It has to be a HUGE benefit to be able to view a topic as both the AD and as a Parent.

I have a great appreciation for both the position and the Man sitting in the chair 💺. If there’s anything I can do to assist Mr DeHaven or Principal Chuck Thompson, all they have to do is ask !

Congratulations 👏 on a Great year 1 and keep up the great work. P.S. – Mrs DeHaven is a perfect Mrs AD as I admire your mindset in supporting her husband.

Next up – Dr Samantha Reed ( still listed in my cellphone as Kevin’s friend) and her dedicated team that make up the Carroll County High School Athletic Association.

  This group is magnificent in what they do and how they do it. The energy that Dr Reed operates with is contagious, at least to me. When you are asking people to lead others, they need to lead with passion and determination and I see this in Spades ♠️ with Dr. Reed.

Similar to the Principal, Athletic Director and Tammy Quesenberry (and myself), Reed is required to care about ALL things Cavaliers and she too benefits from being both a leader and a Parent.

We are currently negotiating with Dr Reed to open up our Alumni Day at Cavalier Park by performing the song 🎵, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. We would escort her in with either a Limo or at least Chris Mabry’s Shop ( Police term). Kevin Burress and I would be her backup dancers. The negotiating is down to what color M and M’s she wants in her dressing room. Neat, Neat Lady who happens to possess a beautiful voice !

  Seth Greer is the MAN 👨and I hope he’s on The Hill for a long. long time. There are three ways that I can help a team and Mr Greer has two of them locked 🔒 down. Announcing, Coverage and Promotions are what I do. Seth has Allen Worrell to cover his efforts and Josh to call his games so that leaves me with Promotions and if he ever needs or wants anything, I will jump at the opportunity.

High School Football is vital to any community and is bigger than anything else around. The way that Greer operates makes me proud to call him Coach!

The song 🎵 is ageless and I can hear my Man, Kevin Burress playing it to open the festivities next month ! The only thing that would top it is we could someone Sing it Live !!

We are working 💪 on some pretty Cool stuff within our Group with the focus for the day being two fold – Celebration of our Past and a Kickoff for the 2025-2026 season !

We have a group of Seniors that are preparing for their farewell season of wearing our Colors and we will do everything possible to make sure that this group gets to ride off into the Sunset 🌇 in style!

  Come out and join us for a great time that will include a multitude of things that will all be designed to make people smile !

   Coverage for Golf is tricky for a number of reasons and the first one is the season starts before the school year does. The second one is that most folks are still adjusting to getting the start of school so by the time the dust settles, their season is half over.

My understanding is that we have three people teaming up to guide our Student Athletes and for that I want to applaud 👏 their efforts !

Later today I will reach out to Mr Jeremy Ogle for the first time and attach this post in hopes of explaining just how easy it would be to generate something for the Golfers each time they compete.

Using the Photo above, from last years team as an example, the one time taking of a team photo and then a head shot of each player so that when the results are available at the end of the day, a photo of the golfer 🏌️‍♂️would appear with their score next to it.

   The idea 💡 is to create pride within a given program without having to break the bank 🏦.

Having played High School Golf a long, long time ago, I can appreciate the challenge in getting the word out about what the team gets accomplished on a given day.

Twenty minutes in the parking lot of Olde Mill for the photos one time and then gaining access to the results at the end of the day makes this as simplistic as can be.

Trace Reavis was one of three Carroll County High School Student Athletes to place at States last season and now he’s back for his Senior year. Camden DeHaven and the rest of the team would be provided the same amount of coverage at the same time….

Best of Luck today on the links and hopefully we can write ✍ about it later.
