Last night 🌙 was a great deal of fun, and then it was straight to the car 🚗 for the drive up to New Market. Park the car, create five stories, rest, and restart with the morning brew.
This morning, I started with a phone call to the office of Wes Adcock. Coach Adcock is the skipper of the New River Community College baseball team, and he currently is mentoring three former Carroll County High School graduates 🎓.
The next to the last stop on this loop is planned for Calfee Park in Pulaski, Virginia, as the Muskies are set to host the club team from UNC – Greensboro in a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.
Lance Burnett, Cody Reece, and Britt Berrier all lace them up for NRCC, and the team has landed in the national polls this season.
Being that I am responsible for the setting at a college baseball game at West Virginia Tech University, I understand that everyone is busy the closer it gets to first pitch, so the reason for the call 📞 was to ask Coach what time would I need to stop by to capture a photo 📸 of the four of them, without disturbing their routines ?
The answer is 11:00 am on Sunday !
These three young men and our site have different lengths of relationships. Burnett is finishing up his sophomore season and currently holds a number of school records. He also gladly pitched in a few years ago when I needed a boy scout to walk a little old Grandma 👵 across the street for a Volleyball 🏐 promo.
#3 of 5 Letter of Intent signers today – Lance Burnett
The link above takes you back to his signing day.
Cody Reece is a young man 👨 who I was fortunate enough to experience his growing up from a somewhat awkward freshman into the man he is today. I smiled last night when I announced that it was his little brother who was swinging the bat in extra innings. Little Reece ( Connor) put the ball in play that plated Chanson Rakes and Blake Reed with what proved to be the winning runs. Cody loves life, and it shows in his disposition!
Britt Berrier is someone who I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting until his senior year of high school. His final season was the first one for our Skipper, Casey Burcham. The stick out memory was taking some photos with him on a day he received an award that we were involved in. The young man 👨 is still the only resident of Carroll County that has a OneofUs.Care hat 👒 in his possession !
I am very proud of these three young men and the manner in which they represent their families and the Hill !
I’m looking forward to Sunday morning 🌄 as I’m not sure how many times that three Carroll County graduates have competed on the same collegiate team.
A great deal of life has to happen between now and then, but I will do my best to capture the moment !
