3am on a Monday seems like the perfect time to roll out the $25.00 sponsorship slots for the Indoor Hitting Center !

When you are trying hard to give every single person that wants to participate in helping with a project a window of opportunity, one has to be creative.

With that said, now that the $250.00 Sponsorship of our 34 seat 💺 backs is behind us, let’s discuss the $25.00 slots. Once again every single penny raised goes through the Softball program and into the funding for the Center !

When Linda and I left town last month we had a great deal of Fun with a T-shirt 👕 we purchased for Casey Burcham.

A number of people chimed in with their thoughts about how much Casey would love 💘 having this shirt. We bought it for him and knew one day we would use it for the greater good.

October 6th will be that day, that Sunday is the Softball version of the Carroll County High School Alumni Game.

Here’s how this one will work, donations are made in $25.00 incriminates and there are no limit to how many times a person can participate. The building is going to happen and the amount of people that will get to have the uplifting feeling that they helped make it happen is growing by the day.

Here is the way that this one will play out.

If we fall short of the $500.00 mark then Casey gets to drop the T-shirt in a bucket that day and set it on Fire 🔥

If we land between $500 & $1000 then Casey will wear the shirt 👕 for 1 hour and pose for pictures 📷 with the folks that want to stand next to him.

If we break $1,000 – Casey will wear the Shirt 👕 all day long !

If we break $1,500.00 – Casey will both learn and Sing the Duke University Fight Song 🎵. And Like it!

Who will find this most appealing ?

  1. Duke Fans
  2. People that want to try and make Casey uncomfortable.
  3. People that are Amazed by the way that this project has developed through the grace of the Community and want to contribute.
  4. All of the Above

I would like to start the process by offering up $25.00 of our Money 💰 to get the ball rolling because it is going to a worthy cause that will be around for 50+ years and enhance the lives of our Youth every step 🚶‍♂️of the way !

Casey Burcham is the Man 👨 of the Hour right now and he will look Good in a darker shade of Blue, even if just for a day !

Who’s with me ?

Adrienne ” Our Future” Harris had a Busy, Busy Saturday and plenty of Family 👪 members around to help !

Adrienne Harris has yet to Coach her first Varsity Soccer ⚽️ game but you wouldn’t know it. Fresh out of Emory and Henry, Harris is not far removed from starring on the Pitch herself so she’s well aware of the amount of time and effort that is needed to be successful.

Now she has to switch gears ⚙ and go from applying ridiculous standards for herself to coaching up younger players. First things First, Coach Harris has to hit the recruiting trail as she hopes to add a Junior Varsity team to her program, sooner rather than later.

Saturday was her first truly official step outside of her off season workouts and here is her take on the day, with a little help from Dad 👨

33 girls!! 8-12th graders
First ever Carroll County Girls Team Camp !!!!

Three teams represented in our camp Carroll, Galax, and the Virginia surge travel team.
We had girls from many different high schools Carroll, Galax, George Wythe, Ft Chiswell, Bland

This was a free camp that was offered to these area teams. It was the first ever girls team camp offered in school history for soccer.

We went from 12-3. The first hour the players rotated between three coaches every 20 minutes. All three teams were mixed together for this session.

Carroll girls Coach Adrienne Harris ran the offense/shooting station. Former Carroll Girls Varsity Coach Marion Harris ran a station focused on dribbling.

Then Galax varsity boys Coach and former Carroll Varsity girls Coach Francois Herbal ran a station focused on ball control.

The second half of the camp focused on team activities. Where players were able to play within their teams and grow and learn with their team.

This young Lady 👩 is going places and has plenty of room on the Bus that is Girls Soccer ⚽️. Maybe that’s why we call her ” The Future “

Everyone needs a Happy Place and mine is sitting in the stands watching 👀 Duke University Football 🏈🏈🏈 which today includes monitoring JV Volleyball 🏐! Duke (3-0) 26-21

Safely made it from Life Surge in Charlotte to Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 in Durham and will be creating Posts 📫 in between plays of the Duke – UConn game. We are 16.5 point favorites which happens once in a Blue Moon 🌙.
