Southwest Virginia Community College (SWCC) finally got to play their first game yesterday and shortly afterwards played a second one, after Wake Technical College borrowed the facilities from neighboring William Pence University.
The photo 📷 above is of our Macie Adkins as the Freshman started Game 2 in the Circle. Game 1 had been spent roaming centerfield for the Flying Eagles Softball program.
The highlight of the trip for me was getting to spend time around Macie’s Mother 👩 and one set of her Grandparents. Great conversation on what turned out to be a gorgeous day in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.
The most exciting news from the day came when Mom told me that Macie recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA in her first set of classes ! Putting her Carroll County High School 🏫 education to work in such an impressive manor.
Wake Technical won the ballgames yesterday but the point of the trip wasn’t to try and capture or write a Gamer, it was about showing support for a young lady that wore our uniform last season and is now playing Softball while trying to get her College education underway.
Family 👪 is the most valuable possession we have. Enjoy it every opportunity that you can.
The team was somewhat stranded over the weekend as they waited to play games ( Saturday and Sunday were both washed out) but made good use of the time by taking in a Duke University Softball game. There were other team bonding experiences along the way and eventually games were played.
Macie Adkins is starting the adventure that we call Life. She has her High School 🏫 diploma in hand ✋and has a loving ❤ Family’s support. This young Lady 👩 is going places and I wouldn’t bet against her.
