Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 to the University of Virginia for winning game #1,000 !
Have Yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
End of 3rd, now 57-36 for the Eagles.
72-56 is your final score from Statesboro. Furman University made a strong 💪 run to pull within 12 but couldn’t get over the hump. Still young, still learning how to win on the road. Just like Taylor, they will need to Shake, Shake, Shake this one of.
30 minutes played and 13 points scored but struggled slightly with getting her shots to fall. The team will play ▶️ again next Sunday at home 🏡.
Notre Dame was the odd team out of the playoffs as Miami prevented the ACC from being shut out. The downside is that the Fighting Irish join our (ACC) Bowl 🥣 Pool.
The top three Bowls for our league are the Pop Tarts Bowl in Orlando, Holiday Bowl in San Diego and the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. ND(10-2), Virginia(10-3) and Duke(8-5) lead the way but nothing is guaranteed.
*************** Notre Dame says no playoff = no Bowl at all. Feel terrible for the players in this situation but it should help Duke.
Georgia Tech (9-3) and Southern Methodist(8-4), Wake Forest (8-4),Pitt (8-4) Louisville (8-4) are others anxious about the decisions.
California, Clemson & North Carolina State are among the 7-5 teams and we know that California has left our Pool to go to Hawaii.
Indianapolis has switched from one former Duke quarterback (Daniel Jones) to the other one ( Riley Leonard) as Jones is injured vs Jacksonville. Colts fall 36-19 and will now have to travel out to Seattle. Early thought process has Jones out for the season.
Halftime for Furman University is almost over so I will get back to this with updates.
Hopefully everyone is enjoying there Sunday !

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.
Fast Forward to Thursday night against Patrick County and you will find a Lady 👩 Cavalier team that has won four of its last five games ! Defensively, they limited PCMS to just two points after intermission and offensively the team did more than enough to claim another victory.
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 📚 for today have been postponed !
I believe that every Elementary School student is here today with their classmates ! Matinee Tip of Noon, MST for the event.
Looking forward to both Kris Richardson and Darian Brown coaching up our young ones here in a bit !
Another legendary Commonwealth Coach, Ed Robitson, has a team full of former travel players who are making noise at various locations!
Ed, my take on the second half of the Furman University game was the most solid half of collegiate Ball for Alyssa to date. Your thoughts ??
” I was texting everyone last night saying this was Alyssa’s best game … Hence the 30 minutes of playing time”
New Mexico State 25-20 at the Break…
Trailing 32-20, the Thunderbirds caught fire 🔥 and lead 43-42

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 📖 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 🏜. 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 🏟 watching 👀 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 🌟 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 💺 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 🦵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 ✈️✈✈️ back to the 🏜 later tonight with a smile on our face !
