It’s time for the Sunday morning πŸŒ„ Brew and yes, there’s still more Basketball πŸ€ to play !

Morning πŸŒ„ Brew
Travis Osborne with his Bible Verse of the Day :

Proverbs 16:7Β When a man’s ways please theΒ Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

School schedule πŸ“… is blank
Something tells me this is a Velvet Leonard Photo πŸ“·. Look at all of the Lady πŸ‘© Cavaliers who participated in the Hoops event yesterday!

Today we have three College games on the docket as each of the teams will be playing at home.

Elijah Cox and Randolph, Katie Lam and Roanoke & Alyssa Ervin / Furman will all host a game later today !

Travel Soccer ⚽️ (U-19) resumes its weekend tournament down in Winston – Salem and the Duke University Women play in Lynchburg versus Liberty University.

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ

Hanging out with the Lady πŸ‘© Blue Devils at The Greenbriar Resort but hoping for the Best back on The Hill as the Cavaliers are set to host the Northside Vikings 🏈🏈. Both set to start at 7pm

Even snuck in a Howard Mayo practice photo πŸ“·!

Sitting in a ball room that has been converted into a Basketball πŸ€ Arena with 1,100 cozy seats.

When the chase of the November schedule πŸ“… came to life last month, this is the one that we had circled with a Sharpe. Yes, there was Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡· and two in Las Vegas, but the palace known as America’s Resort is a special, special place ! We were fortunate enough to celebrate our 30th Anniversary here just over a decade ago and we look for reasons to make the drive πŸš— through the Alleghany Highlands to get here.

Meanwhile, back on The Hill, Carroll County High School 🏫 is hosting a quarterfinal playoff game !

Seth Greer brings his team on to Tommy Thompson Field with a sterling 8-2 mark and Northside sits at 6-4. This is the #4-#5 match-up and the winner πŸ† moves on to face the #1 – Magna Vista unless they are upset by #8 Abingdon.

What Greer and Company have accomplished in a very short period of time has been nothing short of spectacular ! The fresh air of the success wavers across the entire County !!

Let’s play ▢️ Ball x 2 !!
