Carroll County leveled its record to 1-1 last night with a 17 – 6 over Fort Chiswell High School. We shared our inside the Numbers information last night, but now we have five thoughts from Coach Nester.

#1 – ” We were able to scout them on Tuesday, so we had an idea 💡 of how we wanted our girls to approach their bats and they followed their instructions from swing number one. “

#2 – ” We were able to score at least one run in all seven innings, I’m not sure how far back you would have to go to find the last time we did that.”

3. ” Emma Harman pitched a complete game and finished with 8 strikeouts and zero walks. 80% first pitch strikes!”

4. ” Our girls did an excellent job of executing our game plan from start to finish.”

5. ” We played well in the field behind Emma as we finished up the night with just two errors. “

Friday night at Cavalier Park versus Pulaski County.

Why does the chicken 🐔 cross the Boulevard ? To attempt to assist Jeremy Puckett and Forrest Johnson with their soccer ⚽️ match at Tommy Thompson Field !

I’m not sure that there is a batting order to the craziness of spring, but if there is, it would look something like this.

Leading off, Vickey Ritchie and our Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 program.

Batting second, Cavalier Park – home of the Lady Cavaliers Softball program.

In the third spot, Linda K Epling Stadium or any other baseball stadium that our Golden Bears 🐻 call home.

Hitting cleanup, the Tommy Thompson Field press box for Shawn Montgomery and Jon Delp. The funny thing about this gig is how seldom one has to hold the microphone 🎤.

Batting fifth, the same Press Box for the efforts of the fearless foursome that is our soccer ⚽️ coaches. Huge fans of all four of these programs, especially just how connected the Junior Varsity teams and the Varsity teams are. This is highlighted by the working relationships that exist between Forrest and Jeremy & Adrienne and Brittany.

[ Cheering on Dakota Walls doesn’t require holding a microphone, just a pen after the fact ]

Any day that I can be of assistance over there is a great day because this group is very easy to pull for, and as folks like Marion Harris chase the dream of having Carroll County catch up with the rest of the Commonwealth, there is work to be done.

The funny thing about tonight is that it’s Galax night on The Pitch. Our ladies make the short drive across US-58 while the fellas are set to defend The Hill. This might be the one night that doesn’t have to be hyped !

Jeremy Puckett and his JV Cavaliers

Soccer ⚽️ is the sport for most of the World 🌎 and here in Carroll County, we are working HARD to chase down the Glenvars of our region. We have seriously dedicated coaches, and our youth programs are getting stronger by the day. Numbers are up at the middle school 🏫 level, making the progress easy to see 👀.

Four matches being coached by four Soccer enthusiasts on a pitch near you tonight ! Whether it’s over in Galax or on The Hill, join in the fun….
