All the action 🎬 has been completed up in Buchanan and hopefully πŸ™ everyone returns home safely ahead of the Storm… Here is what we know for now…

Ryan Phillips and out Junior Varsity Boys were given the night off as James River High School doesn’t have a team this season.

Hailey Cushman and our JV Girls played in the smaller Gym. A glitch with the Network prevented live viewing but we will eventually get this covered.

Anthony Barnes and our Varsity Boys stormed back to tie JRHS at 61-61 but the Knights called game by making a last second 3-pointer.

Howard Mayo and our Lady Cavaliers gave 32 minutes of effort but struggled from the floor in the 44-26 setback.

The stories will be penned once we get the thoughts of our Coaches.

Thank You Velvet Leonard πŸ’“

James River High School 🏫 sank a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer but our Cavaliers still lead 27 – 26.

Mr DeHaven found me a back way in and we led 21-18 with 3:30 left in the second quarter.

Isaiah Easter, Blake Reed and Colton Gravley each scored two points during the rest of the half. Will have to build backwards for the first 12+ minutes.

Good Morning πŸ™ Vickie Easter, this story is for you !! About Last Night πŸŒ™ on The Hill, the telling of a story by the Number 3

The biggest difference between writing ✍ with your own objective versus doing so for a Newspaper πŸ“° or Magazine is my sole purpose is selling kindness 😊.

There isn’t an ounce of commercialism is what I do, nor will there ever be. Writing to make people feel better about themselves and their loved ones ❀ is cause enough for me !

The reason I watch Furman University Women’s Basketball πŸ€ is because Christy Ervin loves her daughter. That’s not to say that Jon doesn’t love her too or Mom loves their Son one ounce less. Just a proud parent and I would like to think the World 🌎 is full of proud parents !

So, now I get to pen πŸ–Š a story for Mrs Easter on the morning πŸŒ„ after her Son joined her daughter in the Carroll County High School 1,000 points scored club. I hope its a story that Vickie would take to Church β›ͺ and show it to her friends and family πŸ‘ͺ. Yes, Israel can read it too, assuming that is okay with Mom πŸ‘©.

Every part of this story will be told in 3’s because it sounds fun in my sleep deprived brain 🧠, so let’s get started!

  1. 3rd quarter – Isaiah Easter made a basket 🧺 late in the 3rd quarter to break 1,000 points !
  2. Isaiah Easter is the 3rd player to wear our colors under the guidance of Head Coach Anthony Barnes. Easter joined Davis Reitzel and Bryce Smoot.
  3. 3 Ladies have cracked the code to enter the elite group in my six years here. The fact that one of those three was Vickie’s youngest daughter Kaylee (Ervin and Hagee) adds an entire next level to the story.
  4. Vickie Easter and her 3 Pics of her 3 daughters and her lone Son

5. Isaiah Easter joined the Club in less than THREE full seasons, well under that when you break it down. Easter joined the Varsity team for the two Regional tournament games  of his Freshman year and his Senior year is just past the halfway point.

6. The ability to score from all 3 spots on the floor aided Easter to climb the mountain β›° quickly. Shooting from the free throw line, driving to the basket 🧺 and stepping behind the 3-point line.

Dramatic recreating of the moment is the first of 3 ( a great deal of directing went into that clip)
Number two of three was created by the talented young Lady that we are so proud of, Velvet Leonard ❀

Welcome πŸ™ to the Club Isaiah πŸ’™

Going to wrap this one up with my fondest memory of young Easter

2. Easter was born and raised in a Church going family πŸ‘ͺπŸ™β€
