Joe Harris: Calls it a career
Joe Harris: Calls it a career https://thescore.com/news/3054271
Joe Harris followed Coach Tony Bennett from Washington State when Coach traded WSU for UVA. Harris thrived while on the Grounds and went on to a National Basketball Association 🏀 career that lasted a decade.
Harris retiring in today’s world 🌎 will barely ripple the waters except for those of us that were there from the beginning !
Loved the way he played the game as well as where he played the game. Enjoy the rest of your life Joe….
Our continued support of Carroll County has no boundaries as the reports for the next six days will come from the open Sea !
While the first five days down here in the Greater Tampa Bay area have been highly enjoyable, its time to take to the Sea !
We will be back in time to assist Cindy Edwards with opening night 🌙 Volleyball 🏐 on August 20th and will continue to share stories between now and then.

Let’s call 📞 this one, what does Lin’s Vacation, Casey Burcham, Jimmy Buffetts Who’s the Blonde Stranger have to do with Bill Worrell Field ?
See Lin, Casey is the one in the middle !
Tampa – Lin and I are closing in on 40 years of Marriage 💑 so there’s little doubt we know each other fairly well.
Today we are on Day 3 of our 11 Day excursion and she’s picked up on one common thread – life has been centered around a person who she has never met, Casey Burcham.
Only the diehard Buffett Fans will know the song 🎵 “Who’s the Blonde Stranger ” from back in the 1980’s but it was one of my favorites. At the end of the song there’s a reference to talking 👄 in one’s sleep 💤 about a Blonde Stranger.
Not sure I said Casey out loud in my sleep but HE was my last thought last night and my first thought this morning….
I have been begging folks here in Carroll County for years to share their thoughts with our Site because its my passion for five decades. I am still riding the emotional wave from last Sunday at the Baseball ⚾️ Alumni Game and I want anyone who was a part of the festivities that has a knack for writing ✍ to jump in while the wave is still visible.
Insert Lin, in her best Jan Brady voice, saying Casey, Casey, Casey why does it always have to be about Casey?
Now that I have proof that Casey is indeed a Guy 👦and is happily married to a beautiful bride 👰, let’s get back to Bill Worrell Field and what it means for someone to have their name on a facility, especially at the High School level.
I have spent time with this three times in my five decades. In the case of Alan Knight Field at Page County High School 🏫 in Shenandoah, Virginia it was my campaign for the honor 🎖 that led to the naming. Alan is in his fifth decade of Coaching at the school he graduated 🎓 from and I was able to witness 20+ years of his efforts.
Coach Jerry Walters at Central High School in Woodstock, Virginia is someone who we honored with our very first Lifetime Achievement Award. Walters touched the lives of tens of thousands people over the decades.
Third, the man 👨 I proudly introduce at our West Virginia Tech Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball games ⚾️ as the Legendary Joe Goddard. Goddard is from Independence High School outside Beckley, WV. Joe spent nearly 40 years at the School and literally Built the Field that has his name on it.
That brings us to my fourth amazing time but this ones different because I didn’t have the honor of hanging around Mr. Bill Worrell. So, naturally I am wanting to read EVERY word about him that someone is willing to ✍.
The reason for running 🏃♂️ the stories one at a time is simple – these stories are very personal which in my World 🌎 means they all deserve ❤ their sole spot in the Sun 🌞.
Good thing it was a T-Shirt 👕 that I was frantically shopping 🛍 for in regards to Casey yesterday afternoon at the Airport. It might have been a tougher sell to Lin if it had been a bottle of perfume….
