Chandler Cochran drilled a 3 – pointer that would have made his Sister proud !
Nothing but the bottom of the Net from NBA range !!!!
This post 📫 is #1 on any list of reasons!
Yes, Coach Dodson wins Basketball games at an alarming rate. Yes, Dodson is currently tied with Page County Softball Coach and close friend of mine, Alan Knight, with seven State Championships.
Yes, Dodson is a Page County High School Alum so that gives the Duo of Panthers grads a combined 14 VHSL titles.
Yes, Dodson is so cool that he gets to hang out with people like Dennis ” Preacherman ” Zimmerman.
Yes, Dodson took the time to write ✍ the Book 📖 Foreword for our book about Carroll County Girls Basketball, immediately following our dismantling his Trailblazers.
All of that makes me Proud to know him but it all takes a back seat 💺 to the fact that the Man has dedicated his ENTIRE adult life to those who face challenges!!!
Chris Dodson is the Northern version of our Vickey Ritchie, every day and all day. Except Chris is as tall as Vickey Ritchie is small. A picture of those two side by side would be PRICELESS.
The World 🌎 needs more people like Vickey Ritchie and Chris Dodson and know that I feel blessed to now both of them !
Vickey Ritchie
This is the craziest weather I’ve ever seen here. Usually we would blame Presleys Mom because she does snow dances and she likes snow, but she is on a cruise so it can’t be her.
12 High School teams in the Spring ➕ my responsibilities with West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ ➕ Dakota Walls Racing ➕ Vickey Ritchie and our Special Olympics Basketball program.
That makes it 15 before you add on anything else from the Area, the Duke Women have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of six games remaining and we have tickets 🎟 for each one.
Still hoping 🙏 that Alyssa Ervin and Furman University will have one more opportunity to lace up the sneakers 👟 this season but we won’t find out for another week yet.
Tonight wraps up the MACC competition and I’m looking forward to interacting with Kristy Jones one more time on that.
The three ways that I can make life better for someone is A. Using my space to help promote their efforts. B. Using my imagination to create a story for them C. Use my voice to announce an event.
I’ve come up short on the ultimate Goal of creating a safe space outside of Social Media where a person can click on and read only positive words about the subjects listed above. Didn’t get there but that doesn’t mean that you stop trying hard to support those who wish to be supported.
Tomorrow afternoon will be a great example for me to use as a fork in the road example – Coach Nester is hosting a scrimmage versus George Wythe at Cavalier Park. But its my understanding that you cannot announce during a scrimmage so does that mean going to Charleston, West Virginia Tomorrow for the Golden Bears double header make more sense ?
But its Charleston and not Beckley so its a 6 hour loop versus a four hour loop….
So just know that our goal remains to enjoy where we live, love thy neighbor and lend out the Skill set as often as possible.
If you like what you read here, tell a friend or two.. If not, then its easy enough to avoid.
Thanks for reading 📚 and Go Cavaliers, Go Golden Bears, Go Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 and Go Kira Lawson & Duke !
Please know that both Vickey Ritchie and I greatly appreciate 🙏 ❤ the 💘 from Mr Paine but we both lack the technical wisdom to properly share the story!
Thank You Sir 😊, for caring about something that is near and dear to our hearts !
Please check out the full story, either online or by scooping up a copy of the newspaper 📰.
