We are inside the countdown for the First Touch slated at 4pm. We are still awaiting the Royals arrival but Boone rush hour traffic can get a little stressful.

The team will be playing in front of the Home fans for the last time and it’s my Hope that the weather forecast won’t keep people from attending.

Queens 👸University has arrived from Charlotte so that’s the final hurdle for the final contest !

Later tonight we should have some type of an update on the Freshman debut of Alyssa Ervin over at Elon University !

We will keep an eye 👁 on the rest of the Out of Town Scoreboard as the afternoon becomes evening.

Ervin is wearing #3 this season

8:02 – Start of the 3rd Quarter.

Had a positive day in regards to the Health battle ! Penned a story that Allen Worrell picked up and ran on-line today. It was a fun night 🌙 over in Ferrum Wednesday night.

Also put together the Player Profile on Miss Kalee Bunn ! ➕ watched the opening 45 minutes of the App State-ODU Women’s College Soccer ⚽️ game.

Day 12 begins in Boone, where this afternoon we will play our final home Field Hockey 🏑 game (4 pm).

The next stop along the North Carolina trail 👣 will be Elon University.

Tonight at 7pm, Elon University Women’s Basketball 🏀 will hold their intersquad scrimmage. This will be the very first time that Carroll County High School Alum Alyssa Ervin will wear the colors of the Phoenix.

The third and final stop ✋ will take place at the Raleigh Durham Airport ahead of the way to early Flight ✈️ down to Miami for the Duke University Football game versus #5 Miami.

The Blue Devils are 20 point underdogs to the Hurricane 🌀 but it will be a Fun Day just the same.

Opposite of our game versus Queens, James Madison will be playing Kent State. If the Dukes remain unbeaten in league play it will mean that ASU cannot finish lower than 3rd in the final standings.

Go out there and make someone Smile 😃 today !

Final game of the regular season and Old Dominion University is in The Valley with second place on the line.

Free Hot Chocolate was available and it was fun to see how many fans were there fully dressed up in Halloween 🎃 costumes. It was equally fun to run 🏃‍♂️ across at least a half dozen people that will be working 💪 at our game tomorrow as well.

ODU is one of the four Colleges that my oldest Brother attended on his path to earning his two pieces of Educational Papers. It also gave us Ronnie Valentine and Nancy Lieberman way back when. Valentine, if memory serves me was one of the first NCAA Men’s Hoopsters to score in double figures in over 100 games.

The only goal of the first half came on a Penalty Kick for the Monarchs with just over 10 minutes remaining.

Halftime included a Halloween 🎃 costume contest between 3 finalists.

Risky Business, The Hunger Games and The Mandarin. The folks in the press box 📦 gave the nod to The Hunger Games but the cheering was fairly close.

ODU just added a late third goal to push their lead out to 3-1 with just over 1 minute remaining…

Time to get started on the Player Profile for Ferrum Junior Kalee Bunn.
