Sixty years ago, there were four musicians from England đ´ķ §ķ ĸķ Ĩķ Žķ §ķ ŋ who were trying hard to launch their music đļ careers. John, Paul, George, and Ringo were just getting started when they recorded the song đĩ, ” Eight Days a Week.”
They went on and had a pretty solid run as the Beatles, but this song is a perfect Segway for this post đĢ with just one tweak.
Eight Times a Year is not enough to show I care……
Last night was the first of eight platforms that I feel blessed đ to have each year to express my entire thought process inside the walls 𧹠of Carroll County High School đĢ.
Just as it is with the coaches on The Hill, most are teachers at the school, but others are just part of the community. This is relevant because, at the end of the day, I have no official ties to CCHS. But thanks to Mr Chuck Thompson, Mr Kevin DeHaven, and Head Coach Cindy Edwards, eight times a year exist.
The number of events announced over our six years here is a big number, thanks to the opportunities to work with folks like Rick Nester, Adrienne Harris McGuire, Forrest Johnson, and the ones that call Bill Worrell Field home. But Cavalier Park, Tommy Thompson Field and Bill Worrell Field are all outdoors.
There is something about the connection that comes with being inside the building.
 The tagline I have used for a few years now when writing âī¸ about CCHS is The Hill, and the thought process is that our students should have a safe place to grow up. Yes, it is a fictional place that I’ve created in my mind, one where everyone can enjoy life and support each other.
A place where everyone is treated equally as last night we had 30 student athletes competing, and I believe 29 last names. Each Lady Cavalier and her family receive an equal amount of appreciation and feeling of belonging to the team.
The goals include giving the younger players confidence and a sense of belonging to something special. The mindset is this belongs to me. This is my house đ , my Hill.
Using the time â˛ī¸ to show all things Cavalier matter, hence talking about the Alumni baseball game that Casey Burcham has going on later this month over in Independence âī¸ offering Howard Mayo an opportunity to talk about his program.
Eight times a year…
