The Long Drive 🚗 back to The Hill is taking place for many of us right now and its terrific to see 👀 how many are checking back in, even after a mixed bag of results !

Dakota and his race 🏁 team from Sophia, Jon Delp from Emory and Henry, Vickey Ritchie from Lexington and Kristy Jones from Virginia Beach ⛱️ ➕️ Lin and I from Sophia and mentally by way of Portsmouth, Ohio.

I’m not sure that any of us had the exact day that we had hoped for, yet each of us still had a story to tell.

We live in a society where many people are willing to judge the value of an experience by whether or not you won the prize. Nobody in this group won 🏆 a prize today but still had a story they wanted to tell.

While Adrienne Harris McGuire might not have had to drive back from out of town tonight but she still shared a story about her kiddos losing a match 1-0 on Friday night in a heartbreaking manor.

Everyone is interested in talking when they were on the winning side of the scoreboard, but not as much when it doesn’t.

Today, the college baseball ⚾️ team that I’m partly responsible for played a game that we lost 16-2 after the home team broke a 2-2 tie with 14 unanswered runs. Wow, would that have been an easy one to just glaze over.

Rough bottom of the fifth inning derailed our Golden Bears 🐻 but we will lace them up again tomorrow !

Still proud of the hard working Student Athletes who wear our colors, even when it’s not our day.

Nobody else lost 16-2, but others faced challenges, and they still are proud of the folks they believe in. Their stories will follow…

It’s a great day to be a Golden Bear 🐻 as WVU-T makes the trek up to Shawnee State for the first of a 3 game set. Two games are set for Sunday afternoon after the weather tweaked the schedule 📅.

Shawnee State is in the hunt for the top spot, while the Golden Bears 🐻 continue to chase an invite to the post-season tournament.

West Virginia Tech University will look to break a trend this weekend, and Portsmouth, Ohio, is as good of a place as any to build on the mid-week sweep of Davis and Elkins.

There is still plenty of time for WVU-T to climb up the ladder 🪜in the River States conference standings, but there is a sense of urgency to this weekend.

Four weekends remain in the regular season following this one, so it’s a great time to take care of business on the Diamond 💎.

First Pitch is set for 3pm !

Mother Nature is on the prowl, and she has her sites set on Friday afternoon and evening! Adjustments made ahead of time on multiple levels.

West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ has already seen their Friday game moved to Saturday, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Carroll County High School Softball was scheduled to host Pulaski County in a softball doubleheader starting at 5pm. with the Junior Varsity playing first.

Now the start time has been moved up to 4:45 and it will be the Varsity team playing first. Holly Miller will have her solo Senior Day with things getting underway prior to the first pitch.

Next on the adjustment list is the Track and Field events planned for consecutive days. Middle School was slated to head down to North Carolina, but it looks like Shawn Montgomery and Jon Delp might have to divide and conquer on Saturday as the Varsity is set to compete at Emory and Henry.

Make sure that you double-check your favorite teams schedule before heading out tomorrow and maybe bring your umbrella 🌂.
