Three games, two sports, and a lifetime of connections ! The next seven hours will be all about Orcas Island, Carroll County, and Anacortes… First touch at 12:30 PST

https://www.facebook.com/share/1FstQVmdNS/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Ryan McCafferty has a fresh take on the 10-0 Carroll County High School Cavaliers. The link above will take you there.

THE SCHEDULE : ALL TIMES PST

Each one is a post-season contest, meaning the season is on the line.

12:30 – Orcas Island Vikings Boys Soccer ⚽️

4:00 – Carroll County High School Football

6:00 – Anacortes Seahawks Football

Games 1 and 3 will be played here, and #2 will be watched 👀 from here.

Anacortes is where I built Crystal Clear Delivery, Orcas Island 🏝 was home for seven years, and next month ends year six in Carroll County.

Games 1 and 3 are also part of the 10 games in four days pickem contest. Game 2 is not because it is simply too important for all of those involved back home. Most of us have a bit of a chip on our shoulders because of, well, a number of things. Just know this, Go Cavaliers and Seth Greer is THE MAN 👨

Announcements have started here in the opening round of the State Playoffs.

Wow, the same Lady doing the introductions just crushed the National Anthem !!!

Looking for crown 👑 #4

Anacortes was kind enough to offer up their Stadium 🏟 for the match, even though they are hosting their own playoff game at 6pm.

Orcas Island High School doesn’t field a football team due to the size of the student body, so Soccer is THE sport of choice.

In a perfect world 🌎, someone who will be at Tommy Thompson Field tonight would send me a couple of pics 📸 but we will make it work either way.

12:35 PST – underway…

27:34 left on the clock ⏰️ and the Vikings missed by about 6 inches, still Nil-Nil

57° and ☁️☁️☁️☁️

Under 11:00 – Auburn with a point blank save off the foot of OI – #8, Amaru Shanks Morales.

8:34 – Morales shot, saved…

4:12 (1) – another close call for OI

Halftime score : NIL – NIL [1:15 pm]

10 minutes of break is over and we have 40:00 back on the clock ⏰️.

Under 37 – OI Corner !, nice shot, nice save.

Auburn is considerably bigger and Orcas way faster…

33:00 (2) OI corner..

Under 32 – OI corner leads to a header off the post…. soooo close

Under 28 – OI corner…

25 : 21 – #7 hits #10 in stride, GOAL OI!!!

#7 – Junior Conejo Medina

#10 – Ziah Nash Watson

The goal was announced as scored by 7, but I’m pretty confident he threaded it to #10. Either way, 1-0 !!!!

Under 18, an Auburn defender made a last second save…

Random pic 📸 of a mural

Under 15 – OI corner….Perfect pass and header !!!! OI #27 – Kevin Perez Torres 2-0

Under 13 – OI corner..

The wind has picked up a bit here in the second half, and OI is playing with it where Auburn is playing into it.

Ferry ⛴️ options back home for the Vikings are 3:20 and 6:05… mad dash to the Anacortes Terminal after the horn.

2:01 – 5:00 left on clock ⏰️

OI #22 with a rocket 🚀 shot that leads to another corner…Gus Carpenter

Under 2:00 – OI corner kick…

FINAL SCORE : OI 2, AUBURN 0 !!!!!

Just under two hours until kickoff back on The Hill !

2:07 PST


Back in a bit….

Travis Osborne found the art 🎨 work which leads to the question of which category you fall into now that Carroll County is on the sidelines ???

It was a very talented Abingdon High School Lady Falcons who ended the season for Cindy Edwards and our Lady Cavaliers Volleyball team.

After that match, our fan base basically has four choices in regards to Abingdon and the State tournament.

A. Pull for them so you can feel good about losing to the State Tournament champion 🏆

B. Pull against them because they ended our season in the Regional QF.

C. Simply move on from being a VB fan and turn your attention to Howard Mayo and Girls Basketball 🏀. Or to travel VB.

D. Pull for both our Class 3 Regional champion and our Three Rivers District champion, Glenvar, in hopes they both show how tough 💪 it is to play the sport in Southwest Virginia.

Welcome to another edition of a San Juan Island 🏝 Morning 🌄 Brew ! Our lead is a 9am basketball 🏀 game down in Auburn,  Alabama…

Big, big test for Alyssa Ervin and Furman University this morning !
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Bryce Smoot has a new address, a new coach, and teammates but he is still the young man we all watched 👀 grow up on The Hill !

The Roster :

Name Position Classification Height #


Amarri Wilcher Combo Guard Sophomore 6’1 3


Travell Almond Combo Guard Sophomore 6’3 2


Robert McKinney Shooting Guard Sophomore 5’10 1


Jalen Deloatch Point Guard Sophomore 6’3 11


Antron Gray Point Guard Freshman 6’0 22


Jahmarion Walton Forward Freshman 6’5 4


Bryce Smoot Shooting Guard Sophomore 5’10 10


Jeremy Allen Shooting Guard Freshman 5’11 13


Christian Jordan Combo Guard Freshman 6’1 0


Nicolas Carter Forward Freshman 6’3 14


Xavier Holmes Combo Guard Freshman 6’4 5


Brandon Gibbons Forward Freshman 6’5 23


Steven Stinson Forward Sophomore 6’6 32

While the challenge is greater than with both Elijah Cox and Alyssa Ervin, we will do our very best to keep up with Bryce Smoot during basketball season !

The basketball program at the Community College in Suffolk is relatively new, and the game by game information is not as easily accessible. But with that said, the effort will be put forth to keep up with the All-Time scoring leader in Boys Basketball 🏀 history.
