I think this is the right place !

The question is, why does one drive 🚗 from Laurel Fork to Buchanan ?

The old Scooby-Doo cartoon provides the answer…. those pesky Kids….

Nikki Heflin and Kelly Holderfield…..

Tonight is the final time that our two Besties will send their team out onto the floor as a team, and it would be rude to not say a proper goodbye to them and their Kiddos!

Cindy Edwards and the older group will play again on either November 2nd or November 3rd at either Tunstall or Magna Vista. There is plenty of time to make that trek for the regional opener, but it was tonight or bust for the Junior Varsity group.

If, by some unforseen fluke, that isn’t the case, PLEASE don’t tell me that….

Nikki and Kelly have been a treat to help this season, and I can not believe that dealing with both Coach Edwards and myself on game nights is nonstop fun, so we should give them both their props for dealing with two people who show up locked in to achieving their goals.

There is enough time for a 60-minute nap before heading inside, and there is a shade tree 🌳 !
