Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Today will begin for us at the Cross Country Regional meet over in Axton as Head Coach Shawn Montgomery takes his trio of dedicated runners 🏃♂️to their biggest meet.
Stop ✋#2 will be a quick hit at Carroll County High School 🏫 to check in with Anthony Barnes as he prepares for his season opener by practicing with Fort Chiswell.
Stop ✋ #3 – Carroll County Middle School for Kris Richardson and Darian Brown as both teams look to build on their seasons in Game #2
Also, Seth Greer and his Cavaliers will look to earn a seventh victory of the season when they host Martinsville. My guess its been a while since Carroll County secured win #7 in a season !
Earlier today when we shared the Morning 🌄 Brew, it was missing the entry from Girls Basketball Coach Howard Mayo.
Due to contract demands for the space we failed to sign on Allen Worrell to stand next to Coach Mayo. Worrell was asking for more money 💰 than we had left in our N.I.L fund and it appears that he will be transferring to Louisiana State University.

When the news broke that our Cross Country runners were being given the day off, the story had it being weather related. We found out later that it was so Trenton Newman could properly Celebrate his Mother’s Birthday 🎂…
Last night 🌙 I was along for the support as Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 Coach Vickey Ritchie was heading to Galax for another event that is near and dear to her heart ❤. My blind faith in “Little Ritchie ” is unconditional and to this point has never let me to a place where I don’t feel better for having been there.
The Classic, Little Feet, Boo Ridge, Hoops at VT and VMI are a few on the list and last night we added the 9th Edition of SuperFit at Power Up Oct.
First up, Stephanie Burnette was on hand with one of her Pups 🐶. Neat, Neat Lady that has a disposition about her that is impressive as the day is long. And that’s before the part where she is a fan of Duke University gets added in.
Next Lady is the owner of Power Up Oct, Josee Williams. Another partner in the process and her and Coach enjoyed telling the stories about how their friendship developed over the years.
Theresa Talley was there and naturally that led to having some fun with ” Money ” Talley which naturally included a poke or two and the expense of Mr.T.
I wasn’t sure what exactly my role in assisting Vickey but after setting up my speaker and listening to Kyla Ford, it became clear that my job was to soak in her energy. Kyla has an ability to make everyone else near her feel better.
Normally when I am helping Vickey, I shy away from pictures 📷 because of the depth of the stories and people involved is sometimes highly sensitive but know that these are all good to share.
Two of these three tidbits are very tongue and cheek and one is the real deal. If you’re not sure which is which then you probably stumbled into the wrong place 🤔…
There was high energy in the Gymnasium as both Kris Richardson and Darian Brown made their 2025 – 2026 Coaching debuts. Richardson and his Lady Cavaliers were being assisted by Steve Martin and Brown by Assistant Coach Garrett Reitzel.
The scoreboard will show that both of our younger Cavaliers fell short against Scott Memorial Middle School but one would not know it by the sound of excitement in the voice of Coach Richardson afterwards.
” I am on cloud ☁️ nine right now,” said Richardson. ” We took them to an AAU tournament down in Winston – Salem to get them some game experience and it showed tonight. We struggled a little early but once they gained a little confidence, we were able to close the gap.”
Scott Memorial had their way in the opening six minutes and when the horn sounded, Carroll County trailed 10-0. The second six let the visitors know that they were in a battle. The deficit reached 17-4 before the Lady Cavaliers started to climb back and by the end they came within two possessions of tying the contest.

It was a pleasure to finally meet Coach Brown and his wife tonight before I went out to Galax for a Special Olympics Basketball event. A number of people have spoke very highly of the personable young man and he lived up to their kind words!
Lin captured the Girls opening Tap !
The things that were different about tonight – knowing that I couldn’t stay past 6pm because of a previous commitment, the coverage for the Girls was abbreviated but know that Kris and his Lady Cavaliers will be covered like they are the SHOWTIME Lakers. Why ? Because that’s what friends do for each other.
At the same time, I hope to work with Coach Brown this season but like every other Coach, it will be his call.
Equality is the Goal, get up everyday and do your absolute best to try and treat everyone as equals.
The Bible says so many different things to so many different people. My takeaway is that God created us as equals and treat others as you wish to be treated.
I’m committed to chasing this thought process for however long I am fortunate enough to be here on Earth 🌎!
I will do my best to not bother people with by delusional ( you have to know that I struggled to spell the word) thought process.
Two words that can really hurt ?
It’s Just……. Don’t put those words in front of something that isn’t yours because what you are describing could be the most important thing in someone’s life.
