___________________________________
Alex & Trenton both got sick…like bad & could not wrestle against the other Richlands team. Eli & Traven were the only wins for us that match.
Here’s to hoping 🙏 that they both get to feeling better soon !
Congratulations to Eli and Traven for securing wins again 👏
Floyd did not have anyone in the weight classes to wrestle against Eli, Trenton, or Preston. Traven won his match
Against Martinsville, Alex & Preston had nobody to wrestle, Trenton & Jackson won.
Next match is at home this Wednesday
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Today should be a Day of interaction between myself and some pretty neat people ! Shannon Dalton, Kristy Jones, Marion Harris and Travis Osborne to name a few !
Bonus news being that Linda returns tonight from her most recent Medical 🚑 appointment over in St. Louis !
We will have Student Athletes swimming 🏊♂️, wrestling and playing volleyball 🏐 today. This means West Long, Joi Ogle and Cindy Edwards will be coaching our Cavaliers up!
Safe Travels all around and I look forward 🙏 to the Inbox 📥
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
In the opening game we have the #16 ranked Community College in the Country facing a team that traveled here from Maryland ( Harford). The better question is how does a team from Maryland end up in the middle of Utah ?
End of the 1st quarter : SLCC Bruins 29, Harford 4. Harford got plenty of good looks at the basket 🧺, just couldn’t get them to drop.
Snow College Women will play ▶️ in Game #2 versus a School 🏫 from Colorado.
After the two Womens games, the Men will play their half of their Holiday Classic.
It’s not the same as watching the Cavaliers because there’s no Isaiah Easter or Half Pint Harris running up and down the floor or Coach Barnes working the sidelines but to a Hoops Junkie, its Basketball.
The two best players for the Bruins are both from France 🇫🇷. Ines Babaya and Tahys Da Silva. Not only are they talented but they are tough. Shooting free throws after losing a tooth on a foul.
Credit to the guests from Maryland as they are playing non-stop !
Halftime score, 54-10…
I figured out what I am going to miss the most today – the young lady 👩 who Coaches our JV Girls team. Her recaps of her team simply POP !
Stay safe back home 🏡 and know that you’re in my thoughts !
End of 3rd, Bruins 71, Owls 🦉 20 (17-10 in the quarter )
End of the 1st quarter and its a SNOW Storm ❄, sorry couldn’t resist… Snow 23-8…
June Olsen (#20) actually grew up here and played at the local High School 🏫.
Halftime score : Snow ❄ 42-29 (3:36)
74-55 after hifhscoring 3rd quarter for both teams (4:14)
94 – 73… plenty of offense!
Joi Ogle is once again set to lead our Swimming 🏊♂️ teams through the Winter and hopefully back to the State Meet at the end of the year.
The team results above were provided by Shannon Dalton and we landed a few pics from New Swim Dad, Travis Osborne.
Here’s what you should know about attending a Swim meet. For the most part the events are self governed, a little bit different from say a Basketball game or Football game. Mrs Osborne and Mrs Dalton were both very hands ✋ on last night up in Daleville.
James River High School and Giles HighSchool provided the competition last night 🌙, with the Knights being the host team
The significance of the schedule is that it shows everyone who represented our School last night !
Wyatt Ogle, like Trace Reavis in Golf ⛳ and Corrie Delp in Track 👣 and Field, leads the way in a team sport that is also individualized. Ogle placed 9th in the State Tournament last year and looks to enjoy his Senior season on The Hill.
Last night 🌙 was just the tip of the iceberg for both the Boys and Girls Swim teams. We hope to share as much of the journey as we have access to as the year plays out.
If I am going to call West Long the hardest working 💪 Coach on The Hill, I need to add that Joi Ogle runs the happiest program. Don’t think for a second that these Student Athletes aren’t competitive when they race, it just seems like they are enjoying their journey !
