We are just minutes away from the opening Tip of Game #1 of the Kris Richardson Era of Girls Middle School 🏫 Basketball 🏀 !
Here for the evening !!!
End of 1st quarter – Visitors lead 10-0…
6:00 minutes per quarter
Approaching the halftime break…
5:33 – Carroll County played the second quarter to an 8-5 score, now 18-5
Highly competitive 3rd quarter, now 21-13, time to go to Special Olympics in Galax, will pick this back up…
Lin and I are trying hard to check ✔ a bunch of Medical 🚑 boxes as we prepare to leave town, first to Paris, France 🇫🇷 and a few days later back out to Utah.
Trying hard to make sure that some things happen that are really important to some folks that are really important to me and we are trying to line everything up correctly.
Shawn Montgomery and his Cross Country runners 🏃♂️ will be splish splashing away over in Axton, now on Thursday afternoon after it was moved from Wednesday. It is only three runners competing but its our three runners and once you have met their Mothers 👩, it magnifies the situation.
Volleyball 🏐 at Abingdon is not until Monday at 6pm, which means Midnight in Paris. The match-up with the Falcons is not a kind one for Cindy Edwards and her Lady Cavaliers but one cannot skip that. I feel that I will be the only person watching the match from Europe 🇪🇺.
Not even sure what Vickey Ritchie has in store tonight but I can’t wait to stand by her side and find out !
Kris Richardson is ready to coach his first game with his latest group of Girls and his zest for what he does is contagious, to me anyway…
Trying hard to see 👀 if there’s a window of opportunity to catch Bryce and Brayden Smoot over at Southwest Virginia Community College……
It would be sooo easy to say “it’s just” in any of these situations but not when your entire platform is based on caring for others…
We had a great staff meeting and Yes, my group rolled their eyes 👀 at me but that happens when you’re hanging with creatures. Yes, the one on the top is Little Kevin Burress!!
Equality is the Goal, get up everyday and do your absolute best to try and treat everyone as equals.
The Bible says so many different things to so many different people. My takeaway is that God created us as equals and treat others as you wish to be treated.
I’m committed to chasing this thought process for however long I am fortunate enough to be here on Earth 🌎!
I will do my best to not bother people with by delusional ( you have to know that I struggled to spell the word) thought process.
Two words that can really hurt ?
It’s Just……. Don’t put those words in front of something that isn’t yours because what you are describing could be the most important thing in someone’s life.
Think Kindness !
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 !
Breaking News from Cedar Bluff, Virginia and it felt like it was scripted in Hollywood !! Brayden Smoot is officially a member of the 2025-2026 Flying Eagles of Southwest Virginia Community College 💙
Shortly after I finish up here, both Travis Osborne and Howard Mayo will check in with their daily efforts to make a difference in your life with a dose of positivity ! Both will get added here below.
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.
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
Head Coach Shawn Montgomery has informed us that the Regional Cross Country meet has been pushed back 24 hours due to the amount of rain 🌧 in the forecast.
