In case you’re interested in 6th & 7th grade CCMS band.

   Christmas/Winter concert was tonight at CCHS. Led by Mr. William Farmer. CCMS principal Mrs. Dana Burnette attended as usual, always supporting her student’s extracurricular activities. Such improvements from their beginning, several solos this time. Long live the music! 🎼🎶

Carroll County graduate 🎓 Alyssa Ervin is just minutes away from playing a game against a Top #5 team that is led by a All-American in JuJu Watkins.

  There are no guarantees that the two of them will share the floor much across the  40 minutes but the story is a story on its own merit.

  Getting on an ✈🛩 and flying across Country is fun on its own ( having just done it again) and the team is staying in the Greater Los Angeles area until at least Thursday as they are set to play at California – Long Beach as well.

  We will keep an eye 👁👀 on this contest while riding the Airport Shuttle down to Sea-Tac Airport.

Here’s hoping that Elon University can make a stand today against the Trojans and that Ervin gets an opportunity to share the floor with a young lady 👩that could chase down Caitlin Clark.

  12:21 – Game is showing Delayed ???

Seven minutes of floor time and 1 rebound, 1 Field Goal attempt on the afternoon.

   The team will remain in Southern California until playing again on Thursday afternoon versus California – Long Beach ⛱ State.

Whidbey Island 🏝, Washington –

Anytime that Linda and I take an extended trip we try to have some Bonus Fun by seeing how close we can come to a number without going over. The trip length is 42 Days so the Magic would be 21. We choose Allen Worrell to honor 🎖 because he is our fellow Homer !

Chasing live Sporting events to the tune of needing 21, without going over. The first 3 were Duke games, then 2 HS games at Howe Sound in Canada 🇨🇦, 1 D2 Women’s Basketball 🏀 game at Western Washington brought up to six.

Last night 🌙 it was two Community College Men’s Basketball games.

Tonight we push the number out to 12 as we take in a High School 🏫 Quadruple Header here in Coupeville, Washington. Their opponent tonight and Orcas Island 🏝 High School so its the Wolves versus the Vikings x 3.

Girls 👧 Varsity has Orcas leading 22-14 at the break. Notice the 30 second shot clock ⏰ – saw it used in Canada 🇨🇦 and now here.

✔ out this insert in the program for the games! Great recruiting tool 🔧.

Here’s one from the Boys 👦 Junior Varsity game earlier 💙.

Why is the salute to Mr. Worrell so important to us ? First of all, little Guy 👦 is so darn loveable. Somewhere his Wife Crystal is rolling her eyes 👀.

Secondly, Allen plays such a HUGE roll in our efforts to show support for everything Cavalier ! Our ability to speak for the Youth in Carroll County is growing because of our partnership with Allen, Plucky Sidekick and The Carroll News !

Fun Fact about Whidbey

It’s the second longest Island 🏝 in the United States 🇺🇸 of America. Runner up to a place called Long Island (New York ).

Coupeville is leading the JV Boys 👦 Game, 27-24 in the 3rd quarter.

Fundraising idea 💡- Pins 📌 $5.00

It has been a Hot Minute since CCHS has competed in a regular season event and the Cavaliers will hit the ground running 🏃‍♂️ tomorrow. Five teams are set to make their season debut tomorrow, including both Girls 👧 Basketball 🏀 teams. Wrestling opens along with both Swim 🏊‍♂️ squads so we will find out quickly who are friends are for the Winter season. The plan is to share anything that comes our way for the readers to be able to track their favorite teams.

Boys 👦 JV and Varsity Basketball 🏀 will join the Party on Friday evening. We will have our 1st of 12 Player Profiles for Anthony Barnes later today as well.

Yesterday was a 20 hour travel Day but Thankfully we are now where we will spend the next week – Whistler Village, British Columbia.

Marion Harris shares proof of snow back home 🏡 so hopefully 🙏 everyone is staying warm.

The first piece of business in every trip to Canada 🇨🇦 is to stop ✋ at the first Tim Hortons and we did manage that late last night 🌙.

Wanted to say Thank You to Bill Gallimore for the well wishes on the time away !
