Welcome 🙏 to ” Driven “, where we focus on shining a Light on Positivity !

The past four years has flown by in certain ways yet feels like a lifetime in others.

First things First, each of the programs that we have been following / supporting this Fall has some unfinished business and we will happily stay with them until the are all done playing their schedules.

Carroll County High School 🏫 Varsity Volleyball 🏐 is set to play Tuesday night in the Region Quarterfinals at Christiansburg with first serve being planned for 6pm.

Carroll County Cross Country still has their Regional meet left and we will remain alongside Head Coach Shawn Montgomery until the final runner 🏃‍♂️ has completed their final race 🏁.

Appalachian State University Field Hockey 🏑 has moved into their Post Season play and the team will now play in the MAC tournament on November 6th, 7th and 8th. The event will take place in Ohio.

Duke University 🏈🏈🏈 sits at 6-3 with three more regular season games and a Bowl 🥣 game yet to play. At NCSU, vs Va Tech, at Wake Forrest and then to a Bowl destination during December.

The common denominator with each of these is that I have completed ALL of my Announcing assignments. Now its just about showing support from the sidelines.

The sole place left I might be holding a 🎤🎙🎤 is at Basketball 🏀 with Coach Vickey Ritchie.

There are hundreds of tweaks to the process that will be talked about here before too long. But the first piece of Business is to wrap up the seasons in hand ✋.

The Goal is no longer to try and throw a blanket of coverage over the entire County or even for the entire High School / Middle School. It’s unrealistic to accomplish such a thing in a place that is running 🏃‍♂️ at Top Speed in a non-stop manner.

The Goal is to try and work with people that want to be worked with. Still looking to help give a Voice to folks that might not get it otherwise.

Looking forward to continuing down our Chosen Path of the Road Less traveled. Looking forward to supporting those that could use the support.

It’s Monday morning 🌄 ahead of what promises to be a monumental Tuesday. For those of you that Pray 🙏, Please say one about Wednesday morning.

Christiansburg High School 🏫 at 6pm on Tuesday !

Marion Harris leads things off on The Morning 🌄 After with Soccer ⚽️ News- Virginia Surge style!

We went 1-1 on Saturday only allowing one goal!!! Sunday morning game at 8AM was a must win!!!! Teams battled for 55 mins still 0-0, the surge gets on the board and it will hold for a 1-0 win.

The other side of the bracket did not play until 11 so we waited around to see if we would play in the finals or in the consolation game!!! The team we beat yesterday beat the team we lost to and that put our team into the finals!!!

In the finals we ran into a team that was on fire, they had a player that is going D1 in the fall of 2025!! We fell in the finals but came away with 2nd place!!!

We appreciate Marion Harris sharing an update on a Youth Soccer ⚽️ Travel program.

Duke puts Miami on upset watch after taking 11-point lead 😳

Duke puts Miami on upset watch after taking 11-point lead 😳 https://thescore.com/s/28888883

  Getting to take in the Blue Devils game in Miami alongside Kris Richardson and his Son Ethan was a memorable day for a multitude of reasons!

  The clip here concluded a 20+ minute stretch where Duke outscored #4 Miami 28-3. Four TD drives 🚗 against a Hurricane 🌀 team that is trying hard to put the “U” back in the University of Miami.

  All Good things will come to an end and Miami returned the favor by closing out the game on a 36-3 run 🏃‍♂️ of their own.

But there was a couple of minutes there where I had visions of a Young Boy 👦 with a Sling Shot…

The day ended for the three of us in a similar fashion. While it was great for a stretch, we were dragging by the end.

  Memories are Priceless – now get out there and try to make some for yourself!
