There’s an expression in baseball ⚾️ that the tie goes to the runner, and we will apply that to this – in regards to Thursday night Carroll County Soccer ⚽️, the tie went to Page County Softball.

Over the past three to four years, I have done everything that I can to show support for both Forrest Johnson and Adrienne Harris McGuire.

Whether it was writing ✍️ a check, writing ✍️ a story, or announcing a soccer match at Tommy Thompson Field, I was happy to help these two every step of the way. No regrets about any or all of it because how strongly I feel about both of these young coaches, their assistants, and their players.

When it was time to leave the D3 Softball World Series and head to the next event for the day, there was absolutely no way that I could have possibly chosen one over the other. Not when everything I do is based on treating everything equally.

Both programs were heavy road underdogs against very talented teams, and unlike last year when they played on consecutive days, both wrapped up their season Thursday night. One in the Martinsville area and the other over in Abingdon.

Our final scores were 2-0 boys and 6-0 girls, but know that I simply could not be prouder of these two coaches and how they conduct their business !

Choosing Door 🚪 #3 by heading north to Fort Defiance was the only option I truly had because choosing one over the other would have been unfair.

Soccer ⚽️ in Carroll County continues on an upward movement, and we have the right people in place in our efforts to grow the sport !

Thank you, Forrest & Jeremy ➕️ Adrienne and Brittany !!!
