Wednesday, January 28th has a busy Morning 🌄 Brew with a little bit of this and a little bit of that…Highlighted by a Drive Thru Meal opportunity !

Morning 🌄 Brew

Mr DeHaven announced yesterday afternoon that the Girls games for tonight will hopefully 🙏 be rescheduled but that would be dependent upon ability of finding game officials.

Things are going to get rather challenging on that front as such a large number of events are getting pushed back due to the weather right now. The games versus Abingdon are non-district ones so there is no guarantee that they will be played down the road.

Elijah Cox and Randolph College will be in for a tough test tonight as they host a ranked team.
Katie Lam and Roanoke College will attempt to play up in Lexington.
Some familiar faces made it up to Blacksburg last night and even captured the jump ball !
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Bonus information from Travis this morning 🌄 : weather permitting

Borrowing from Scott Van Pelt of ESPN by saying the coolest 😎 thing I saw today is our Schools 🏫 efforts to feed as many of the Kiddos and their families later today !!!

Tammy Quesenberry tells me that Spaghetti 🍝 😋 is the meal of the Day !

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌 and here’s hoping 🙏 that the Drive 🚗 Thru meal experience is nothing short of tremendous…

Five quick questions for Skipper Lawrence Nesselrodt as we approach our 18th Opening Day at West Virginia Tech University !

5 solid questions provided by out Conference !

. (#1) Hope Springs Eternal”

 – for baseball enthusiasts a new season signifies the end of winter and the hope that spring is near. Our team will continue chasing after a championship that hasn’t been won by a TECH Baseball team since 1947. Since ‘08 we have set a school record three times for most wins in a season (40 in ‘16), played for the championship in ‘17 and reached semi-finals in ‘15, ‘16 and ‘24. 

2). We will be lead by the depth of our pitching staff. We return several quality arms from last year’s team and have added some outstanding guys that are going to make an immediate impact. Offensively, we are replacing seven starters and will need to be as scrappy bunch that have to “do the little things well”.  

3). Our guys excelled in every aspect during the fall semester. 8 weeks of Fall ball gave us a chance to evaluate the new guys, learn each other on and the field. Our team worked hard in the weight room, along with combined efforts in fundraising and community service activities. Our guys earned an exceptional 2.38 team GPA. 

4).  The biggest objective of each year is to develop a team culture that exhibits a “Will to Win, a respect for the game and a sense of identity.  This year’s group needs to play good defense, pitch well and execute situational hitting. If you do the little things-the big thing will happen!

5). Energy, Enthusiasm & Excitement…   

These guys enjoy being around each other and I’m confident that fans are going to see a team that is having fun. We have an outstanding group of coaches who are passionate about the game and are great teachers. Our Goal is to Win Championships along with achieving a 3.0 GPA. That combination of good teachers & students can make great entertainment at the ballpark.

Let’s Play Ball !!!
