Left to Right – Colton Gravley, Blake Reed, Reggie Jackson Reece, and Ayden Dickerson taking in some volleyball 🏐 after football practice.
Blake Reed is finishing up his four year stay on The Hill, and the young man 👨 has done incredibly well in the spotlight that comes with having very visible parents. In his spare time, he enjoys being a Big Brother to Grant Reed, but spare time is in short supply these days.
Reed is just over two weeks away from doing his best to be one of many team leaders under the guidance of Head coach Seth Greer on the gridiron 🏈 and shortly after that, he will trade shoulder pads for sneakers 👟 and play his final season of Cavalier basketball 🏀.
When I asked Blake to describe his thoughts on his parents, it was a classic answer.
” People tell me that I look like my Mom but act like my Dad.”
If things had to break that way for the multi talented Cavalier, he should feel blessed 🙌 !
Colton chuckled a bit when I praised his Mother’s ability to put pen 🖊 to paper, knowing that I’m all about positivity. Rossie Gravley has serious chops !
Ayden, who I’m meeting for the first time is described by Nathan Jones as a man of few words. When asked about his relationship with Nathan Jones, he proved that very point.
” He’s my coach and my teacher….”
Good news is that young Mr Reece signed off on his Reece’s Pieces tag !
Four very likable young men who are a credit to their 👪 families !
Blake Reed gets the Big Picture 📸 and it begins with keeping his head up and respectful behavior. Personally, got to give that one to his Mother !
Isaiah Easter was also in the gymnasium, and it allowed me to ask what advice he would give Blake….
” Trust the process,” there is a reason why Isaiah Easter is another example of good parenting !
The road less traveled !
