The Morning 🌄 Brew for Friday, January 30th includes a SoCon showdown for Alyssa Ervin and Furman ➕ a celebration for Kristy Jones and more from Mother Nature 👩….

Morning 🌄 Brew
School 🏫 remains closed

There were four more events  originally planned for today and we see that the Girls Wrestling 👧 has been rescheduled. I will look to add more information on the remaining three as it becomes available.

****** All Events have been postponed, per Mr DeHaven…

Tough week for everyone involved with The Hill but say and 🙏🙏🙏 for the sanity of our Athletic Director, Kevin DeHaven as he is tasked with trying hard to find new dates 📅 for everything that cannot happen due to the weather.

So excited about Kristy Jones having some of her efforts to support ” Her Trenton ” and all of the West Long led Wrestlers land in The Carroll News !!! Kristy has been an absolute pleasure to work with all season 🙌 and I know how much her Children mean to her !

Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years gets a late add today as Katie Lam and Roanoke College bumps their game up one day in hopes of beating the weather.

Spartanburg, South Carolina is set to host a 6pm Eastern Tip for the two teams currently tied for second place behind UT – Chattanooga.. Alyssa Ervin and Furman University will make the Midway turn in no worse than third place but a win tonight would give them second place all to themselves !

Meanwhile, SWCC was scheduled to host Guilford Tech tonight but that has been removed in one spot so not quite sure. But we can tell you that Bryce Smoot picked up some court time recently and added a rebound to his total. Both of our Smoot Brothers are finishing up their first and only season in Cedar Bluff as the Community College has announced that they will be ending their Athletic program at the end of the school year.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget fir the Day will appear here shortly
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

1 Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

Yesterday was Day 60 of 90 out here in the Desert 🏜, leaving us at the 2/3 Poll in our quest for helping my Doctor smile. The next lab work is set for March 9th in Laurel Fork and a great deal of progress has been made !

The goals were 1,350,000 Steps 🚶‍♂️ across the 90 Days with a minimum of 10,000 per day.

The total cleared 1,000,000 yesterday and now sits at 1,006, 124 !!!

The first of the four pairs of shoes 👞 to go down in the efforts. This is relevant because Travis Osborne mentioned how many shoes it would take to accomplish the goals.
It’s working 💪 and while the weight loss is a nice bonus, the A1C # is where it shows the most!

Travis just sent in his Bible Verse so folks are waking ⏰ up back on The Hill. Stay warm and stay safe and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

Will close it out with a few pictures 📷 from yesterday in Cedar City, Utah

Basketball 🏀 Night = Date Night 🌙

Duke 39 -23 at the Half in South Florida as Kira Lawson and the Lady Blue Devils look for a 12th straight W!

End of 1st here in Cedar City, SUU leads 21 – 13.

Why did the Wake – UVA score make the rundown tonight ? Women’s Basketball doesn’t have a large number of Triple Overtime games were 212 points are scored. I am sure that the 1,100 fans in Deac Town had a blast !!

Halftime score here in Cedar City, Thunderbirds of SUU lead, 30-24.

Vickey Ritchie Moment at the Half as two groups of Special Olympic Basketball 🏀 are playing !!!

Miami with a HUGE 3rd quarter has pulled within 55-50 of Duke with 10:00 to play.

Duke has held Miami scoreless for over 5:00 in the 4th, after they scored 27 in the third.

End of the 3rd here, SUU sinks a buzzer beater to push their lead to 53 -47

We made the KISS 💋 Cam !

We have reached another Milestone (900 consecutive days !) And it happens on a very quiet edition of the Morning 🌄 Brew : January 29th, 2026

Morning 🌄 Brew
Once again, Mother 👩 Nature proves to be incredibly stubborn and sadly there’s more coming.

We add four more games to the long list of events that Mr DeHaven will have to get back on the books 📚 at a later date.

All five of our College Cavaliers are off tonight as well with The Smoot Brothers and Alyssa Ervin being in the on deck circle 🔵.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget will appear here shortly.
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day will appear here shortly.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Day 59/90 was highlighted by another beautiful Hike 🚶‍♂️ on the way to 16,000 steps 🚶‍♂️.

While our site is closing in on 20 years now, roughly 2 and 1/2 years ago I challenged myself to produce something positive everyday for as long as I could. Today marks Day #900 ! I will put my head down in hopes of making it to 1000!!

Have Yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

900 !!!
