Wrestling and Girls 👧 Varsity Basketball 🏀 will be the lone teams sitting this one out today.

Starting out on the Hill and I smiled when I saw the 5:30am Tip time for the Girls 👧 JV Basketball 🏀 contest with Galax. A pajama party game would be an interesting marketing strategy but I’m pretty sure that the teams will begin the rematch at 5:30 pm. Kayla Nester’s team made the cross county trek on their opening night 🌙 and returned home with the victory!

Three of the contests are slated to get underway at 6pm as both the Boys 👦 and Girls 👧 Swim 🏊‍♂️ teams head down to Yadkin, North Carolina for their second meet this week.

Our JV Boys Basketball (3-3) will look to build on its two game winning streak tonight when they head over to Galax. The team has looked very impressive 👏 the last two times on the floor!

The early season success of our Varsity Boys 👦 Basketball team is now longer a secret as the 5-0 Cavs are ranked #1 in Class 3 and Top Ten overall in the Commonwealth. They will look to make it 6-0 tonight at Galax.

 We will be spread out pretty thin but its still the hope to produce coverage of all five events with a little help from our Friends!

 Mrs. Goins and Kevin Burress both figure to be in the Gym at Home 🏡.

 Coach DeHaven will produce the results from the Swimming 🏊‍♂️ and then Shannon Dalton will hopefully walk us through the event.

 We will have Greg Talley, Kris Richardson, the Smoots and the JV Coaching staff out in Galax all sending information into the inbox 📥.

 It’s a Great Day to be a Cavalier, wherever it takes you !!!

The hardworking folks involved in the Carroll Christmas 🎄Fund set aside more time tonight out at Virginia Produce. The process of placing the Toys, Bibles and Can Goods into boxes for the 525 families was set to begin at 6pm. One of our up and coming local youth, Mr. Trenton Miller is participating in the assembly line and we hope to have a few pictures 📷 to share before the end of the evening !

 The last time Kris sent me out on a field trip it took me to Louisville, Kentucky where I met Mr. Ed Robtison. Coach Ed turned out to quite impressive and it allowed me to see Alyssa Ervin play travel Basketball 🏀 in one of the largest Tournaments in the Country.

Today’s mission is to learn what exactly is a Famous Toastery Bowl 🥣 and why it exists? How bad can it be, just a quick drive 🚗 I-77 to Charlotte, I will make it back before I know it!

So it turns out that Famous Toastery is an upscale restaurant that is open for both Breakfast and Lunch. Their Home Base 🏡 is in the Charlotte area and the folks that run the company have graciously stepped up to be a fill in Bowl 🥣 sponsor for one season.

Now introducing the One & Done FAMOUS TOASTERY BOWL 🥣. The game was originally scheduled to kick off the Bowl 🥣 Season Saturday morning 🌄 but now will be played Monday afternoon.

Turns out that they are currently looking for new franchisees !

The Stadium 🏟 on the Campus at Charlotte, Jerry Richardson Stadium 🏟 is set to become the second facility in the State of North Carolina to be a substitute Host. Duke’s Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 once filled in for the Rose Bowl 🥣 in a War situation back in 1942.

The next clue left said Go South to find out the next step 🚶‍♂️ in the story.

The next clue said – Go South, Not Go to South Carolina ! Three states in a day and a half, how far South does he want me to go ?

The next clue sent me to the Queens 👸 statue at the CLT Airport. Inside of her crown 👑 was a note 📝 that read- Dig Deeper

Naturally I had to answer to Security about climbing the statue but the Guard 💂‍♂️ told me the story of how the Orphaned Bowl 🥣 Game ended up in Charlotte, North Carolina this year. It turns out that the game became Homeless when something went wrong with a gifted Chinese Stadium 🏟??????

Right after China funded a $30 Million $ 🏟 in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 they gifted it to the Island 🏝. Shortly after that the 🇺🇸 people placed an International College Bowl 🥣 Game there and placed it at the head of the Bowl 🥣 season.
