After 7 hours at the Trailblazers Softball diamond 💎, its time to cross the parking lot to Burns Arena for some Men’s Hoops ➕ watching 👀 the Duke Women on Disney !!

Abilene Christian University ✝️ is in the house 🏠 to challenge the Trailblazers tonight at 7pm MT.

Doors 🚪 opened at 6 local time so we were able to watch the first half of Duke hosting Florida State in Cameron Indoor Stadium

Lady 👩 Devils lead 33-29 at the break after trailing 20 – 17 after the first 10:00

Utah Tech sits 1/2 game out of first place of the WAC entering the game.

Not everything at the College level is transferable to High School but I think this one is. It’s an eight fold and one covers two weeks of both the Men and the Women!

Side 2 is the roster off four opponents.

Photos 📷 both coaching Staffs and headshots of each player.

On the flip side….

A fella can dream, right ??

Duke opened the 3rd on a 20-4 run 🏃‍♂️ and lead 55-40 with 10:00 to play ▶️

47 – 38 UT after an 18-7 to close out the opening half.

Duke followed its 20-4 start to the 3rd with a 19-4 run 🏃‍♂️ to open the fourth!!

Jasmine and Toby played pretty evenly but HUGE advantage the rest of the rosters !

Duke has now clinched at least a share of the regular season crown 👑 at 16-1. The regular season ends on Sunday…

We are 1000% pulling for two consecutive missed free throws here in the second half!!!

Having a Banquet at the end of the season is the norm for High School and College Sports teams. There is something special about how Coach Barnes holds his, might be the Church ⛪, might be the agenda 📋 or it might just be a Family 👪 thing!

We have reached February 26th and we can celebrate the fact that March just sounds Warmer !

We currently have 12 teams being formed right now under the watchful eyes 👀 of dedicated Coaches ! 8 Varsity and 4 Junior Varsity teams that call our four outdoor facilities Home.

Exactly half of them have Tommy Thompson Field, two play at Bill Worrell Field, two play at Cavalier Park and the final pair at the Wilkerson Tennis 🎾 Courts.

Casey Burcham and Adam Nester run our Baseball program.

Shawn Montgomery and Jon Delp run 🏃‍♂️ our Track and Field teams.

Forrest Johnson and Jeremy Puckett run the Boys Soccer program while Adrienne Harris McGuire and Brittany Kinney share the Pitch on the Girls side.

Rick Nester and Terry Warf have the two teams that call Cavalier Park 🏡. Mr Warf stepping in for Alexis Dalton.

That brings us to the Tennis 🎾 courts where last year Martin McKenzie and Christy Shupe led the Girls and Boys teams. Not sure yet of the official status of those two spots but hopefully will very soon.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Out here we have three things to keep an eye on today

Utah Tech is hosting Day #1 of a four day Softball tournament called the Beehive Classic. It begins at 10am each day and will include a Triple Header of action 🎬!

Once the Softball is over, Kira Lawson and Duke University Women’s Basketball will be hosting Florida State.

The nightcap will take place inside Burns Arena as the Trailblazer Men continue their pursuit of the WAC regular season crown 👑.

Should be a healthy and active day out here and here’s hoping 🙏 that each of you have a Blessed 🙌 Day!
