Here is the verbiage used by Trenton Newman’s Mom in describing the second round match her son faced yesterday in Virginia Beach :
” In wrestling, you either win or you learn. Round 2, we learned that if your opponent uses an illegal move, you automatically earn a point! Trenton wrestled a senior from California, that body slammed Trenton illegally. While Trenton did earn a point, he also got the breath knocked out of him.
To quote another teams coach, “It sounded like a basketball being slammed down on concrete.” The ref paused the match for an injury time out & after he was able to breathe again, he got up & went back to wrestling. Im not sure he knows the word quit. Trenton ended up losing round 2 but will be back at it tomorrow in the consolation bracket.”
Kudos to Mom for finding a nice way to describe an unfortunate situation ! Here’s hoping that 🙏 Trenton will have a bounce back today !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Trenton Newman heads back to the wrestling mat in Virginia Beach ⛱️
Tammy Tobler mentioned to me at the Softball game last night that Trenton was not the only Cavalier competing in Virginia Beach this weekend. I would welcome 🙏 any information about the efforts of the other two Wrestlers that made the trip!
West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ is set to open its weather delayed weekend series up at Shawnee State ( Portsmouth, Ohio )
Vickey Ritchie and our Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 program is set to make its second consecutive trip up to the historic campus of Virginia Military 🪖 Institute in Lexington !
Last year proved to be a fun experience for all involved, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t be the same in year two !
Lexington, Virginia Beach, Emory and Henry in the Commonwealth ➕️ Sophia and Danbury, North Carolina and Portsmouth, Ohio are the Pick Six…
On a personal note 📝, staying back to host Softball and the special evening for Hix Miller and his family, then later finishing up the Girls 👧 Soccer game meant passing on our tickets 🎟 to the game out in Sacramento.
The fact that the Ladies won at the buzzer means we now have tickets 🎟 to the game on Sunday afternoon at 3pm / Noon versus #1 UCLA !!
Flight ✈️ leaves Greensboro at 8:41 pm. with 5pm. for a ✂️off to make the decision. Kira Lawson has the Blue Devils humming right now, but the once beaten Bruins already own a victory over Duke from back in November, and it was by 30 points. On the upside, that was a very talented LSU team that Duke faced last night.
Fun decision to make later today, but either way, there are plenty of people to follow today, even if they are scattered around the East Coast !
Hix Miller and the Parker twins took the mound for our Ceremonial First Pitch.
The Hill – Pulaski County sent 13 batters to the plate in the top of the first inning and rode the red hot start to an 11-0 victory over the homestanding Lady Cavaliers.
The contest was shortened to five innings due to the run rule, and the timing of the final out lined up perfectly with the weather going from a drizzle to a down pour.
The forecast forced the schools to make two adjustments on the day. First, the flip-flop of Varsity first and then starting the game a few minutes early. First Pitch took place at 4:55 with a slight drizzle falling from the sky.
Terry Warf and Alec Horton will have to wait to play their Junior Varsity game at a later date as the umpires and coaches agreed that they would be challenged to get the field ready again.
The Cougars took advantage of every opportunity in the decisive first frame. Four walks, one error, and a hit by pitch coupled with four base hits led to an 8-0 lead. The two hardest hit balls of the inningj turned into the final two outs of the uprising.
Carroll County tried to cut into the lead in the home half of the first inning. Addie Greene and Natalie Burress both reached base after two were out, but they would be stranded on base.
After the unfortunate start, Carroll County actually held the hard-hitting Cougars in check. The visitors were limited to single runs in the second, third, and fifth innings.
Freshman Ava Beamer pitched the fifth and final inning in relief of Emma Harman and Greene.
The Lady Cavaliers finished with nine base runners 🏃♀️ and four of them advanced to scoring position. Each time the Cougars managed to record the final out to keep CCHS off the scoreboard.
Natalie Burress collected two base hits and ripped a deep drive to centerfield in her third at bat. Greene and Harman both reached base twice, but each time, they were left on base.
Down to the final opportunity to extend the game, Burress slapped a single to move Harman over to second base. Goins hit a bullet back up the middle that gave the home fans hope, but the ball was knocked down and deflected, leading to a game ending ground out.
Kudos to the Junior Varsity players and their families for riding out the weather without having the opportunity to ever take the field.
