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
Always looking….
Will circle 🔵 back and sprinkle in some final scores later. Meanwhile know that We 💘 Allen Worrell !
Great News from back 🏡, we just received the Swim 🏊♂️ results from Shannon Dalton !!!!
The Lady 👩 Wolves have pulled within 32-29 early in the 4th. 👔 at 36!
Wolves 38-36, 👔 at 38. Wolves at FT line 0:30.7, miss and miss. Back to the FT line, this time for 3 attempts – noise level in the Gym is loud,
Miss, Make, Make and the Wolves have completed the comeback. OI with two late turnovers…
Varsity Girls 👧 to the Wolves 🐺🦊
________________________________
The Junior Varsity Boys 👦 had less drama as the 🐺🦊🐺🦊 led from the start
Wolves 2, Vikings 0
The Junior Varsity Girls 👧 game is a tough watch tonight. O I has a very young team and fell behind 17-0, playing against an aggressive Full Court press.
Living in a World 🌎 where you pull for the underdog…
21-1 after 8:00 minutes. Hopefully it will let up. 38-6 Halftime….44-8, late 3rd
Absolutely 💯% 💘 this wall !
Boys 👦 Varsity players are getting after each other, in a good way.
Wolves will be looking for a 4-0 sweep.
END 1st, 🐺 16, Vikings 10 (8:29/5:29)
We know that Game #21 will be the Bahamas 🇧🇸 Bowl 🥣 on January 4th and #20 will be the Gator Bowl 🥣 in Jacksonville on January 2nd. That leaves 8 more to get to !

Boys 👦 Varsity reaches the Half, 🐺🦊🐺🦊🐺🦊 leading 29-26. (8:45/5:45)…
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 !
More to follow later today so until then be the Best version of yourself as possible !
Durham – Opening jump ball of Seattle University at Duke University.
Saturday November 30th has arrived and the first piece of Business is to wish my Sister, Sharon Jordan, a very Happy 65th Birthday 🎂 out in St.Peters, Missouri. Sharon is one of my two remaining Siblings and a kinder Soul 💕would be hard to find !
Very pleasant experience inside Cameron Indoor last night 🌙 as we ran into a couple of pretty special people along the way. We also did or did not see Mr. Reitzel on the scoreboard during the action 🎬.
For those who want to ” Hate ” on 17 year old Freshman Cooper Flagg it would be easy to point out that the young man 👨 failed to even score in double figures against the Redhawks last night.
Fans of Cooper will point out that the stat line shows 9 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. That passes for flirting with a Triple Double while playing just over half the contest.
The Blue Devils held SU scoreless coming out of the break for just over eight minutes, turning a 37-25 lead into a 50-25 advantage
Fun night 🌙 and bumping into fun people made it quite memorable !
Next Up – Women’s ACC Soccer ⚽️
It was a clean sweep last night 🌙 in the three Quarterfinals for the Atlantic Coast Conference. When you add tonight’s match between Virginia Tech and Duke is all ACC, the league will occupy ALL four spots in the Final Four ! 6pm is the start time here on Campus. Congratulations 👏👏👏 to the ACC for the very rare sweep of the Final Four.

Georgia – Georgia Tech really messed with my sleep 💤. After walking 🚶♂️ across the street after the end of the Basketball 🏀 game, I turned on the TV 📺 where the Bulldogs – Yellow Jackets were coming out of halftime. Should have made for a few relaxing minutes but as Lee Corso loves to say- Not so Fast.
Glued to the TV for the second half and each of the EIGHT overtime periods it quickly became a 3 hour process. Georgia beating Georgia Tech was the outcome Duke needed in its pursuit of the Best possible Bowl 🥣 game destination.
___________________________
Football 🏈 games that we will follow today in addition to attending the Duke @ Wake game (Noon).
Virginia at Virginia Tech 👀… winner becomes the 12th ACC team to earn a Bowl 🥣 bid.
NC State (5-6) at North Carolina (6-5) as the 🐺🦊🐺 try to become team #13 by spoiling Mack Brown’s final Home game.
Duke needs SMU to beat Cal, Clemson to beat South Carolina and Miami to take care of Syracuse. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if Kentucky beat Louisville and Boston College pushed the Pitt (7-4) losing streak to five straight.
Two more significant games for me have Appalachian State (5-6) at Georgia Southern ➕ Bronco Mendenhall and New Mexico (5-6) at Hawaii. Both teams are looking for a victory and a Bowl 🥣 Bid !
In my 61 years, Duke has only played in a Top Tier Bowl one time. It was the Peach 🍑 Bowl 🥣 versus Texas A&M. This year the desired Bowls for the ACC take place in Orlando, Jacksonville and San Diego. We really hope to be in one of those three cities just after Christmas 🎄.
The group of cities that sit just below that three are Charlotte, El Paso and New York City.
If you are headed to Blacksburg tonight, Bundle Up and then some.

Wrapping it up with a Fun Weather fact about the 7 Days ahead in Whistler, British Columbia.
When I talk about where we moved from, I get asked about how Cold 🥶 does it get in the Winter ? In a few hours we will be sitting inside the Stadium 🏟 at Wake And later the Soccer ⚽️ Stadium 🏟 at Duke. Both places will be much colder today than any moment at Whistler – go figure 🤔
Have yourself a Blessed Day and if the opportunity 🙏 presents itself, choose Kindness !
