Morning 🌄 Brew

Howard Mayo with his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

At 5pm Mountain ⛰ Time we will complete a rather rare Hat 👒 Trick by watching 👀 the Aggies of New Mexico State University Women’s Basketball 🏀 team in person for a third time this season and in a third different venue.

Last month the team played at Southern Utah University and Utah Tech in the same week. No connection to the team, just kinda random..

Today we have another installment in the Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years as Katie Lam and Roanoke College play day one of their two day Holiday tournament !

If the first four games of the Day don’t quench the thirst for Hoops, Game five would take place just across the State Line as the UTEP Women play inside of the historic Gymnasium named after Don Haskins.

Coach Haskins won a pretty significant game once upon a time….

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

Let’s call 📞 this one the story about Anthony Barnes, Basketball 🏀 Moms, Marion Harris and what one does when all four local College teams are unavailable……

When both teams from Utah Tech and Southern Utah University are all off or away, you sneak further into the desert 🏜 for your basketball 🏀 action 🎬.

1pm PST Tip with the Running Rebels Men playing in the big part of the building at 4pm.

Head Coach Anthony Barnes just shared his thoughts on the game last night and here in a bit I will get started on the game story for him. Being that this one is as close to Christmas 🎄 as it is, this gamer will come with a OneofUs.Care twist.

Yesterday, it was one of the players Mothers 👩 that was helping me gather information and that triggered a thought process for me. Beginning with the starting lineup, I realized that I had experienced the privilege of meeting each of the Mothers 👩 involved.

Once that was in my brain 🧠, there was no turning back. So, where I would normally type Blake Reed it will say Sam’s Boy, Isaiah Easter = Vickie’s Boy, etc, etc, etc…. Nothing but neat Ladies across the board.

How does Marion Harris tie 👔 into all ? Mr Harris is set to be our eyes 👀 and ears back on The Hill as both the Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls are set to host games in our Christmas event!!

New Mexico (8-2) scored the first six points of the game before UNLV (5-5) went on a 28 – 4 run 🏃‍♂️….Momentum is real, especially in Basketball 🏀… End of 1st, 31 – 13

Late in the 3rd quarter over in Nashville, Kira Lawson and the Lady Blue Devils are closing in on a 6th victory.

54 – 32, Rebels at the break…

74 – 53 after 3…New Mexico swished a 3-pointer from beyond half court to end the third but it was ruled too late.

Now we are roughly 100 feet away for the Men’s Basketball game between UNLV and Fresno State. Fun Fact being Fresno State us the closet University to my hometown of Lemoore, California !

2 more free T-shirts 👕 and 2 noise makers….

Kevin DeHaven and Marion Harris are both in the Gyms on The Hill and we will create a separate post 📫 for Girls Basketball 🏀 !!

FresnoState 41, UNLV 39 at the break…

Gone, but not forgotten, Lady Blue Devils are hosting a 10-2 Jackrabbits team tonight at Cameron Indoor Stadium 💙

If on the East Coast versus the West, we would be at Duke University Women’s Basketball 🏀 with Kira Lawson. Keeping an eye 👁 👀 on them while monitoring four other Carroll County games.

Duke leads 55 – 28 at the break !

Tomorrow afternoon Basketball 🏀 will include Alyssa Ervin and Furman University ➕ The Smoot Brothers but today its about the Women & Men of Utah Tech University!

Lin’s is a local Grocery store chain ⛓ named after my Honey 🍯💕.

Cal- 🎅 Barbara is the opponent for the Woman and I happen to be sitting next to a former resident of Santa Barbara ! Their nickname is Gauchos ( South American Cowboys)

Turns out that they were called the Road Runners in a previous life.

While we are awaiting the opening jump I would like to say Thank You 🙏 to Kristy Jones for all if her assistance with the Morning 🌄 Wrestling for Carroll County.

We still hope to hear 👂 more from Marion Harris as our Lady 👩 Cavaliers Volleyball 🏐 Seniors are experiencing an Awesome Day over at the Fellowship of Christian ✝️ Athletes All-Star celebration.
