Nick Cushman and his dedicated group of young Lady Cavaliers are set to play Ball at Cavalier Park on Thursday evening, and we couldn’t be happier to put their efforts under the spotlight !

From the start of the Middle School 🏫 Softball season, I have been trying hard to coordinate with Travis Osborne and Nick Cushman on the possibility of bringing my portable system over to the ball field so their team could receive the full treatment that comes with having their game announced.

This Thursday was blocked 🚫 off on the calendar 📅 to do this, and I was truly excited about it. A funny thing happened along the way, I just found out that the game has been moved over to our Cavalier Park ! There is no need to pack up the gear and tote it over to the field.

Since coach Nick took over the CCMS program, our paths have only crossed briefly twice, but there is a long list of people that I respect who love to sing the praises of his efforts !

Varsity Softball Coach Rick Nester, Mr. Kevin Burress and Travis Osborne to start the list. The condition of the field has improved dramatically, and the ability to teach the game to the youngest of our Lady Cavaliers are the two things highlighted in the conversations.

I’m 1000% convinced to succeed at the high school level. In any sport, you have to have a feeder system in place. We have that with Nick Cushman and Deana Burcham !

The goal was to head over to the middle school and give these dedicated young people a small sample of what it sounds like to play softball at Cavalier Park. The beauty of it now is that the younger Lady Cavaliers will get the full effect !

Thursday night at 6 pm is my understanding !

Thank you to Coach Cushman and Coach Burcham for everything you do for our Softball program !
