Next up : Junior Varsity Softball and the long and winding road that has finally reached its end.

Last night, our JV Cavaliers played a game over in Stuart against a talented Cougars squad and dropped a 10-1 decision.

Velvet Leonard captured the coaches and the team in their meeting after the game, and Mr DeHaven passed along the final score.

99 times out of 100, I would leave it at that because nobody is required to discuss a game with me after it’s played, but this one is the exception, and I will tell you why.

These ladies and their coaches have had a crazy four day stretch, and there is no way they can not be flat worn out from it.

On Monday afternoon, the team was slated to travel to Tazewell for a scheduled double header and then have a day off before playing again. Instead, the trip over to Tazewell had to be pushed back one day due to circumstances on our end, and the trip was made on Tuesday night.

Terry Warf and Alec Horton coached them up to a victory that night, and Dave Quesenberry drove the bus back to The Hill.

Fast forward to Wednesday now, and Chilhowie High School comes to town to challenge our Nine to a contest.

We dropped that decision, but it’s worth noting 📝 that the game went on for over two hours.

Then, on Day 3, our kiddos woke up and went to school 🏫 and boarded another bus 🚌 and headed over to Stuart, Virginia, to play for a third straight day.

So, while I don’t know everything about what happened with the 10-1 setback or anything for that matter, I know that I’m proud of them for making it to the finish line of a long stretch.

Their parents should give themselves a pat on the back because they were there as well !
