Even after his team ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in eleven of its first ball games, Kris Richardson never questioned whether the young Girls he was coaching were moving in the right direction.
Open shots for either team were hard to come by, from start to finish.
Patrick County MS 5 2. – 7
Carroll County MS 13 7 – 20
The score is shown by halves instead of quarters for the time being. It’s my understanding that back home we dealt with bad weather overnight and that means that Kris and his fellow VDOT staff will be keeping odd hours until things get back to normal.
We will circle back to finish up this story once we hear from Kris.
Meanwhile, we just received word from Mr DeHaven that ALL seven of the events on the books π for today have been postponed !
Ladies final: 20-7, Cavalier win! Way to go Ladies!

Safe travels home everyone, back on the court next week with CCMS hitting the road to Radford, the boys tip-off first at 5pm. Lady Cavs take the court at the conclusion of the boyβs game.
We could have labeled it a quadruple header as the Duke University Women play their first game of the season without us in the building.
Another Top #5 opponent in Louisiana State University awaits.
Thank You to Samantha Reed for taking the time to provide me the Middle School Boys book π and before long, Kris Richardson will do the same. We will be able to compile full stories by the A.M. !

The past 30 Days truly have been an Amazing experience already and after four Basketball games, its time for the reason we made the trip back from the desert π. Donaldson Capitol is based out of Evansville, Indiana and we couldn’t be happier with our relationship with them over the years.
A conversation with Derek Riddle turned to Sports one day my friend Duke QB became a topic quickly. Fast Forward to today and we are back here at Lucas Oil Stadium π watching π one of our own play quarterback in the NFL. Brandon Roop is the Man with the Plan down at Donaldson and he is our host today !
Daniel Jones has gone from a Zero Star π high School recruit from Charlotte, North Carolina to where he is today. A number of peaks and valleys along the way, for sure.
The location of the seats πΊ and access to the Club behind us was a last minute perk, very unexpected. It will certainly add a bit to the overall story but the true highlight is getting to show support for someone who you believe in while sitting with people who you believe in !
Jones, playing with a fracture in his leg π¦΅might play the game of his today. It’s an equal possibility that he might throw four interceptions. Either way, Lin and I will board our βοΈββοΈ back to the π later tonight with a smile on our face !
Final Page of a November to Remember!Love π the fact that the Owner on the sidelines with her team !
Funny thing about this one…. it wasn’t on the original list but as we were leaving Butler University we noticed a sign reading that tickets were available for as little as $5.00. Not a typo, NBA ticket for $5.00.
It is 2-15 versus 2-16 tonight but my ties π to the Indiana Pacers dates all the way back to their days in the ABA. Having a 40 year old Son that was born here = being really old. But that’s better beats being deceased….
Gainbridge Fieldhouse replaced the ancient Market Square Arena and they did a tremendous job with it!
It’s 28Β° outside so Lin was smart π€ enough to stay at the Hotel π¨ for this one.
UVA connection – both teams have 1 former Wahoo – Anthony Gill versus Jay Huff…
