In case you’re wondering what Marion Harris is doing in his spare time ? He’s counting down the days until Cindy Edwards is coaching his first Granddaughter….

Whole lotta Volleyball 🏐 has been played by a Harris Daughter under the watchful eyes πŸ‘€ of Cindy Edwards over the past decade. Now Marion just needs Coach to hang on for a little bit longer so the Family πŸ‘ͺ business in the Fall keeps breathing !

Carroll County Middle School 🏫 Girls πŸ‘§ clamp down on Patrick County in their 20-7 victory over the Cougars on Thursday night πŸŒ™ and now we can share the knowledge of the Basketball πŸ€ Whisperer !

The above link takes you to the beginning of the story from Thursday night πŸŒ™. Now, as Paul Harvey was famous for saying, ” Here’s the Rest of the Story “

” Considering we had 1 girl miss the game from having strep, others coughing their heads off, 1 broke a finger during the game…..overall we played well. Our defense swamed the ball most of the game. Our offense happened in spurts with a few layups and jumpshots. We have to continue to improve offensively. Very pleased to get the win, the girls really deserved it.”

Thank You Coach…

While I have never had the privilege of meeting Mr Bowman myself, I wanted to add my gratitude πŸ™ for his efforts with the new uniforms for our Hoopsters this season.

Apologies for the delay in getting the story completed but when Kris isn’t coaching this group, he’s coaching another group or getting snow of the roads for VDOT.

Trenton just finished 6th. He lost by pin with 34 seconds left. At most tournaments he would have finished 4th with 3 wins but they changed the criteria today because of switching it to a 1 day tournament…

Saturday, December 6th has plenty of Saved by the Bell πŸ””: The Cavalier College Years action 🎬 as four of our five Hoopsters play today, West Long hopes to compete in a Big Wrestling tournament and a pair of personal Nuggets are all in the Morning πŸŒ„ Brew.

Morning πŸŒ„ Brew
Big Day for our Wrestlers, weather permitting
Travis Osborne with his Bible Verse πŸ™ of the Day :

Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Elijah Cox, Bryce and Brayden Smoot βž• Katie Lam are all slated to play today while Alyssa Ervin returns to action 🎬 on Sunday.

The lifetime slogan of Duke, UVA and where I stay comes into play in a big way today in two places. The Cavaliers and Blue Devils will play Football tonight in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game down in Charlotte.

Here locally, the Utah Tech University Trailblazers Women will host New Mexico State at 2pm. NMSU was the opponent on Thursday up at Southern Utah University so there will be familiarity with the Aggies.

We still hope to finish up the games from Middle School on Thursday night and will do so once we have the rest of the information.

Now you know what I know and I’ll add the Bible Verse here in a bit. Hopefully Brother Travis πŸ™ enjoyed his day with his three favorite Ladies yesterday πŸ’™

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ

Team Brown !

Building a Story is often a crucial part of the story itself ! Two Moms with Sons on the team can provide me the information required to pen πŸ–Š a story to show our appreciation for the Coaches, Players and Families.

Once a story has been written, the next step is to circle πŸ”΅ back to the Coach to see if he or she is willing to share their thoughts. This part is always easier when the team wins the game but its equally important to acknowledge the effort on nights πŸŒ™ that the outcome is not the one we hoped for.

Let’s get started by building the Box πŸ“¦ Score for the game :

Patrick County MS  11. 12  11  9 – 43

Carroll County MSΒ Β  9.Β  10.Β  12 2 –Β  33

Cavaliers : Sam Johnson 15, Caleb Hill 11, Trenton Poe 6, Bryce Jackson 1. (33)

***By showing the book πŸ“–, it acknowledges every player on the team.

The first thing about this particular book is the absence of Grant Reed. Never speculate on a reason why, just hope that its something minor and Grant will be back soon.

The score was 34 – 31 entering the final 6:00…

  We will stick a pin πŸ“Œ in this for a bit. More to follow…
