The Rain wouldn’t go away so we had to get creative here at ATV-60

We try our best to mix things up here at ATV-60 and since we spent Thursday night in Shenandoah County with Central we figured we should head south.

The hope was to catch the Little Giants @ Stuart Draft but the weather eliminated that option. Our next goal was to try and visit with Coach Derek McDaniel over at Wilson Memorial.

We searched high and low over in Fishersville but there was no one to be found there either. Check the next post for how the story ends.

Welcome to Bo Bowers Baseball StadiumWe did take the time to look around the campus and take a few pics. The numbers that Coach Bowers put up were/are amazing.

Next time you are at Wilson you should take the time to read about the accomplishments of Coach Bowers.

Spending an evening with the Falcons in the Nest and the fellas from the NVD

From 5:00 until 10:00 P.M. a misty rain fell across the ball diamonds in Woodstock but that did not prevent the Falcons from hosting the teams from Sherando. Tommy Keeler had the softball duties and Dennis Atwood covered the baseball game. Check out both gamers at www.nvdaily.com later.

Notice Foltzie chasing his runner home and this will explain the hammy!

Three of the folks that sat through the misty weather. I hear that one of them has a tennis match today.

Not quite the Citgo sign behind the Green Monster but the Arby’s sign still looks pretty cool.

Dennis needed a glow in the dark pen Thursday night but I’m sure the gamer will be just fine. Check it out at http://www.nvdaily.com

Central meets in Left Field after the contest.

These five weren’t going to let a little misty rain keep them away.

Susan Fleming (AD) and Roger Wilkins (A-AD) make it all happen for the Falcons!

Mickey, Roger, Susan & Mr. Chris. Last night was my initial conversation with the Central Principal.

Central’s Short Stop and Left Fielder awaiting the next pitch

Dennis was there taking pics for the NVD and was telling me about his recent adventure to the Dominican Republic. The cap is from one of the ball teams in the DR and we think it is the one that Manny played for.

Runners on the corners and fielders on their toes as the pitch comes.

Tommy Keeler is in his 14TH year of covering the Shenandoah Valley sports teams. TK has covered somewhere in the area of 2,000 sporting events during his time with the Northern Virginia Daily. You can catch TK’s gamer on the Sherando at Central softball game @ http://www.nvd.com

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with Strasburg Today

I first noticed something was wrong in the Ram family yeaterday when I read Katie Baker’s notes on Facebook. I knew something was wrong in the extended Strasburg family but I didn’t know what until today.

I will add the link here to the story that Chuck McGill wrote for todays NVD (www.nvdaily.com ). Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ram family in hopes of a speedy recovery.

A Strasburg at Stonewall Kinda Day

Strasburg and Stonewall had a busy, busy day today. The girls JV and Varsity soccer teams along with the Varsity baseball and softball teams all played at Stonewall Jackson while their counterparts (boys JV and Varsity soccer and JV baseball and softball) played at Strasburg. We didn’t get a chance to see all of the games but we did get a few snapshots from the Varsity softball game, the JV girls soccer game and the Varsity baseball game.

At the moment I’m just throwing these up but Iwill have more time, later, to come back through, change titles, edit captions and so on. Until then, enjoy!
