Kris Richardson is ready for his season opener here in right at 12 hours now and we are excited for our Friend and Neighbor ! It seems like it was only yesterday when Anthony Barnes and Richardson were hosting their annual Boys 👦 Basketball banquet following their trip to the State Tournament.
Richardson made the transition from the Co-Pilot seat 💺 on the Varsity Boys ✈️ over to the third tier of the program led by legendary Howard Mayo. Mayo is set to begin year two of round two as Head Basketball coach for the Lady Cavaliers.
Courtside seats to the Big Show on The Hill !
Immediately after the conclusion of the Girls Basketball game it will be time to head over for the next adventure in the World 🌎 of Vickey Ritchie and her Special Olympics Basketball team. Power Up Oct in Galax will be the destination for the gathering tonight and I’m sure that Coach Vickey will have a great time planned for her team.
*** The double up is the reason why we won’t be staying for the Boys opening game.
Tonight will be the final time that our paths cross before Lin and I head out on November 11th and we treasure 💖 anytime that we can spend with Coach Vickey !
Need to add a special Thank You 🙏 Russell Smoot for reaching out last night with his families Awesome News ! So very happy for Brayden Smoot and look forward to reading / writing ✍ about the adventures of both Smoot twins this season !

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
