Last night 🌙 at Cavalier Park, we hosted a star 🌟 studded affair in celebration of Miss Brooke Webb ! Later on, we played softball, too…

A gala was held Thursday night on The Hill with the Academic and Athletic career of Miss Brooke Webb. The stars 🌟 were out in full force with A-List folks like Carroll County High School đŸĢ Principal Chuck Thompson and his lovely wife.

While Mr Thompson was the big man on campus, there were other celebrities who were there to show support ! Both Athletic Directors, Kevin DeHaven, and Kayla Nester were in attendance with Nester having the other half of her power couple marriage, Adam Nester by her side.

Greg Bolen and Chris Mabry were there to represent the local law enforcement, and two media outlets were on hand to record the event. Both television đŸ“ē and print !

St. Paul Principal Joshua Edmonds showed his wit by scheduling a youth soccer practice on the back of the Hollywood lot, allowing him to crash the party. Linda’s Boy đŸ‘Ļ is a very clever Man.

Each of Brooke’s teammates were there, and they were decked out in designer fashion ! Somehow, freshman Molly Montgomery slipped past Security and managed to have a breakout moment. I’m sure her Dad has one proud Papartment last night !

If Molly Montgomery had a pull quote, it would be something like this, ” I was truly inspired to be in Brooke’s presence, and it allowed me to soar to new heights”

Not only did we have the leader of the Nester Nine Baseball team on hand, but we had Lance Burnett in the house. Older brother to Laiken and current member of the nationally ranked New River CC baseball team.

While we didn’t have our tuxedos or Kevin’s Blonde Mullet wig, the honor of being the hosts to such a monumental event for an impressive young lady was truly an honor for both of us.

Carroll County was still on cloud 9 after the event and went on to defeat The Fort 18 – 4. Montgomery managed to pick up her first varsity hit, run scored, and RBI !!

Mrs Donna Nester was also amongst the visitors, and one of her grandchildren was in uniform as the team Bat Girl.. I think her husband was around but looked preoccupied all night.

Brooke Webb = overachiever in the classroom and on the Diamond 💎 !

Beth Bouldin took care of the catering !

Carroll County Middle School đŸĢ Softball has arrived at 4:35, and the long bus ride over has been survived ! Here until we are finished up…. Big Night đŸŒ™

Carroll County Middle School has arrived, and we expect to see Galax pull in shortly

It would appear that 15 young Lady Cavaliers grabbed their gear and headed in.

Mid – 80’s and not a cloud in the sky so it should prove to be a great day to play

4 :46 Bus 🚌 #2 has arrived ! Counting players and coaches, looks like maybe 12 and 2
Mr Bunn is here to be the umpire !

It’s was tough to break the news at the morning staff meeting about this year’s OneofUs.Care banquet, but while they didn’t have much to say, they’re still here ! #Dedicated

For the past four years, we have set aside both the time and the financial resources to host a banquet. We gathered 100+ folks to dinner đŸŊ and celebrated the achievements of a number of people who made a significant contribution to our beliefs.

Years three and four, we added a gold watch ⌚ī¸ ceremony in which we purchased the tackiest gold watch available online and presented 🎁 it to someone who was retiring. Athletic Director Darrin Mathews the first time, and Dr. Burnette last year.

While there is no extra $5,000.00 lying around to hold a fifth one, we still have enough of a thought process that we still have five people that need to be applauded.

Gold Watch – Allen Worrell and David Broyles. I’m not sure if the dynamic duo will have to have joint custody of one gaudy watch or if he can rustle up a pair of them. We need to pay homage for the years and years that Allen and his Plucky Sidekick served the residents of Carroll County ! Both young men played a role in our efforts here, and we shared a laugh or two along the way.

Person of the Year( Jon Culp Award) – Principal Chuck Thompson gets the nod here ! Maybe we can invite Mr Thompson out to The Crooked Oak early one morning for breakfast with Coach Rick Nester and I. The daily burden that this man operates under is cause enough to celebrate his career achievements.

We have a pair of folks who will fall under the lifetime achievement awards.

In the definition of lifetime, in this case, it involves the past five years in specific. The Jay Neal Lifetime Achievement Award.

Both Ron Cochran at Omega Office đŸŦ and Supply & my wife, Linda Carter.

Maybe a slice of pizza 🍕 from Pizza Perfect will make the presentation easy enough, being Ron will only have to walk next door đŸšĒ.

David Broyles , Allen Worrell, Linda Carter, Ron Cochran, and Principal Chuck Thompson are the honorees for the fifth and final banquet.

The next step is to order the crystal 🔮 and the watch(s).

Five people who made a difference !!!!!
