Thank you to Travis Leath for nudging this is my direction. Athletes Unlimited now has a team based out of Duke / Durham, and I love â¤ī¸ the fact that they chose a regional name in Carolina !
Yesterday was opening day, and the team stays in the Bull City today and tomorrow.
Broadway is trying hard to repeat, and our region split last night. The graphic above shows that Staunton River fell 7-3 and Abingdon High shutout Rustburg, 4-0.
New Kent 7, Skyline 3
Fauquier 8, York 0
Abingdon High School hosts the Final Four this weekend and will play New Kent at 10:00 am.
Fauquier and Broadway will follow at 1pm
Now that we have four teams remaining in our tournament, which of the following answers would be the thought process for a Lady Cavaliers Softball fan ?
A. Go Abingdon
B. Go for anyone else
C. What should I care ?
For me, it’s Go Abingdon !
Godspeed on the journey to Abingdon for the New Kent parents !
Appomattox 3, Lee 0
Poquoson 1, Central – Woodstock 0
King William 5, Strasburg 4
Richlands 4, Liberty 0
10am & 12:30 pm on Friday at Moyer
The setback for Central means we will have a new champion đ. Would it be Class 2 Softball without King William ?
Having both District foes of Page County fall on Tuesday night ( Central & Strasburg ) officially ends the ties đ for Page County High School đĢ.
Once again, the season concluded with an Elite Eight spot for the Lady Panthers.
Auburn, Buffalo Gap, Eastside, and William Campbell advance to the Final Four !
Greg Bolen was only with us in spirit due to the ball game of a grandchild, but we shared his pre-gathering message and loved his photo đ¸ ( that’s him standing off with the train đ).
Photo credits belong to Kevin Burress, Donna Nester and myself âī¸ the Bolen selfie đ¤ŗ.
Three crystals đŽ and three gold watches have now all been distributed to some Awesome people. Tonight was the Gold Watch portion of the end of the year ceremonies.
If I had to limit the story to just one word, it would be ” Fellowship.”
105 minutes start to finish and just like our site, đ¯% positive !
Even when Head Coach Rick Nester and Allen Worrell traded thoughts on the day that Coach ended his dream of playing professional baseball âžī¸. Those two have been interacting for a LONG TIME âī¸.
David Broyles spent a minute doing a pretty solid Groucho Marx, Kevin Blessed the food, and then the story swapping began.
Allen, David, and I spent three years together down on the north end of Main Street, putting together The Carroll News. Just like the Goldielocks and the 3 Bears đģđģââ đģ, we were the Papa Bear (Allen), Mama Bear (David), and the Little Cub . Yeah, that was me.
Everyone nibbled on the Domino’s Pizza đ and the dessert đ¨ up in the press box. Turns were taken on who has the next story and getting to hear Allen’s recap of the State Championship game was a favorite.
Allen and David shared an office đŦ for right at a decade. I felt blessed to get a seat đē at their table towards the end.
The time together was everything I would like an event to be. We weren’t trying to do anything but say Thank You to a pair of Old Friends!
For three straight seasons, our Lady Cavaliers Softball team received wall 𧹠to wall 𧹠coverage on both our site and in The Carroll News.
