Goldilocks and the 4 volleyball 🏐 matches on a Tuesday evening… Just a thought or two ahead of the night 🌙

One thing in life that you can not fake is caring about others. Each of these four matches matter here, and there are completely different reasons why they do.

The MS match at Madison County involves two of our nine grandchildren, and that degree of caring should be self explained. The team plays on the same nights 🌙 that Carroll County High School does, so if we aren’t playing on The Hill, the option is to head North.

Too far replaces too hard.

Why does one care about Ferrum College at Lees Mcrae ?

Easy one there, for me anyway.

Marion Harris was one of the first people, six years ago, who tried to welcome me to the area. You remember things like that and pay it forward !

All 5’2 “of Half Pint Harris will make the trip south of the border today, and they will remain to the south for the rest of the week ( next 3 matches ). This will create a boat 🚢 load of challenges for her parents.

This is the perfect Segway to the matches that will be played tonight over in Bassett.

Yesterday afternoon, I wrote a story about the long week that our Lady Cavaliers were facing this week. It wasn’t until after the match in Dublin last night that I realized that the lone ” off ” day of Wednesday is actually the night of Powder Puff football.

Nikki Heflin and Kelly Holderfield will coach up our 3-2 JV team tonight in a gymnasium that will include our parents and the varsity team.

Immediately following that match, our V team will look to rebound from a night where we outscored Pulaski County but fell 3-1. The energy in the building last night 🌙 certainly helped the home team, and it will be interesting to see 👀 what the folks over in Bassett bring to the table.

It’s just before noontime, and it’s time to choose. Monte Hall style, will it be Door 🚪 #1, Door 🚪#2, or Door 🚪#3/4 ????

In the grand scheme of things, I don’t over value the fact that I am in a visiting gym. It’s not the same as holding the microphone on The Hill. But when it’s your job to Care, it matters to me.

In every gym in this equation, there will be sharp young ladies who have committed their time, coaches without shoe contracts, and parents who are oh so proud of their kiddos (or grandchildren )!

At the end of the day, that’s what it should be about !
