Shawn Montgomery and Cross Country, Cindy Edwards and Varsity Volleyball, Nikki Heflin, and JV Volleyball all matter, even from a distance !
Coach Montgomery has sent in his results from the meet, and Travis Osborne is keeping me current from the JV Rebel Classic in Glade Springs.
Meanwhile, I am having a next level conversation with regard to tomorrow afternoon in hopes of getting everyone involved on the same page !
Ryan McCafferty and Greg Bolen are both gracious with their time. I am truly looking forward to seeing 👀 both tomorrow. Kristy Jones and Ron Cochran are two more…..
10am to Noon : our prep time.
Noon – 1:30 : Focus on the two race 🏁 cars, their families, and young Ryan.
1:30 – 2:00 – Greg Bolen, Kevin Burress and I will go live from the pitching circle, breaking down the day for everyone !
We will have a very special set of introductions that will include a Moment of Silence, live National Anthem performed 🎭 by two wonderful people and the last official piece of business will be Mr Bolen tossing out our Ceremonial First Pitch. I holler out, Play ▶️Ball, and we begin the game shortly after 2 pm.
We will continue to create an atmosphere around the game, but please note 📝 that Coach Nester wants a ” REAL” game to be played out, and it’s his day….
I’m not sure exactly what my partner, Kevin Burress has in mind for his race car driver, Dakota Walls but I do know that my driver, Kristy Jones, the Mon with the plan, will be very actively involved with our Alumni team !!!
The rest of the post 📫 will include cross country, two levels of volleyball 🏐 and maybe some Duke University Football as the day plays out.
If any of that interests you, please 🙏 check back. If not, it’s all good. Getting the final update on the festivities has now concluded….
