Back when Nike was originally rolling out the Air Jordan brand they had a series of commercials where a young Spike Lee played the role of Mars Blackmon and repeatedly said its gotta be the Shoes Mike, its gotta be the shoes 👟👟👟.
Kayla Nester is in her initial year of being the Athletic Director at Carroll County Middle School 🏫 and wow, does she have two Big Time Basketball minds leading her programs !!
Not sure who plays the role in the commercial but I can see Mrs Nester holding a Basketball in her hands and someone saying, its gotta be the AD, its gotta be the AD !!
Let’s get back to the group that Coach Brown took over to Floyd County and how the opportunity came about in the first place. In the words of the artist 🎨 known as Coach Brown :
” I got a text from Floyd county varsity coach asking if I had a 7th grade group that could play Saturday. I coach a group called the raptors which is a combination of galax and Carroll kids. I got 10 of them together and took them to play in the “2025 Floyd County Christmas Bash”. I didn’t know what to expect because we haven’t started travel ball practices yet but we ended up winning the whole thing.
We played a team out of Blacksburg and a team named team xtreme which has kids from Pulaski, auburn , and christiansburg. We played them each once and went 2-0. We got a bye in to the championship where we beat team xtreme.
We beat them by 2 the first time around and got them by like 10-15 in the championship. Super proud of both galax and Carroll kids and we plan to go to another tournament this coming Saturday in Patrick County.”.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 to Coach Brown and the players from both Schools 🏫 !!
Keep up the Great Work Coach !!!
