Breaking News from the rare sit down interview with Kris Richardson : The life of a Middle School Athletic Director hijacked our conversation..

Kayla Goins Nester, back in the Day

Thursday afternoon, before the Basketball πŸ€ doubleheader against Galax Middle School 🏫, I had the rare opportunity to break bread 🍞 with Kris Richardson. The highlight of the 75 minutes came when we were discussing the efforts of Mrs Kayla Nester.

First things first, Kayla has a really nice Mother-in-law, terrific parents in Scotty and Patti Goins and loving & supportive Husband. Three neat little ones that are the love of her life ! Neat little Sister too.

My unofficial job here is to seek out the people who are going above and beyond for others. Identify them, applaud them and assist them in way that I have the means to do.

I am a HUGE fan of Kayla Nester as she is a younger version of Brandi Cochran Mitchell. Basketball in College, raced back to The Hill to set up shop, raise a family πŸ‘ͺ and help others. Priceless !

My concern for Kayla is that she might be going at a pace too fast to maintain. That’s when Kris shared his take on what it is like to have her as an Athletic Director.

” Attention to detail, constant communication and understanding what her role is as AD. Couldn’t ask for a better situation as a Head Coach.”

Teacher, Mother of 3, Wife, Big Sister, Daughter, Assistant Coach for Varsity Volleyball 🏐 and Basketball πŸ€, Middle School 🏫 Athletic Director are just some of the tasks that this young Lady πŸ‘© is currently working on !

#RoleModel

Keep up the Amazing work Ma’am and know that wee see you and appreciate your love for Carroll County !

Notes πŸ“

Yes – that was an intentional dig at our friend, Rick Nester by omitting his name.

NO – I did NOT call Brandi Old, just older than Kayla!

Thank You Beth !!!

Next thing to add to the mix is the thoughts of Kris Richardson :

” Things didn’t end the way we wanted it to last night. Our team continues to play extremely hard, but we just can’t get the basketball in the goal. Our hard work will pay off soon. We continue to improve daily, and that’s all you can ask for as a coach.”
