Thank you to Mr Greg Bolen for being a gracious individual who was comfortable with sitting atop my life’s work ! We even got to hang out once during September, over at Cavalier Park !

1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

We are now down to just two remaining guaranteed volleyball nights on The Hill, with the first one taking place tonight.

We will have the pleasure of welcoming the youngest of our three teams to the show tonight as we host Patrick County. This will be the third and final time that all three teams play together at home this season, so it will be a longer night, but it will also involve more families / more fans !

   We will have more on the night of volleyball here in a bit, but for now, we wrap it up with our normal sign off….

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Thank you to Marion Harris on this one !

George Washington and Mechanicsburg County, welcome to the show….

It would appear that Tunstall is the missing name..

It was five years ago, when Cindy Edwards first asked me about ways that I could make her gymnasium more fun at the home volleyball matches ???.

The first suggestion that I made to her involved the use of her baseline in regard to our introductions of the Lady Cavaliers ! We have been doing this for going on five years now, and it’s a BIG part of our nightly routine.

There is not a single program at Carroll County High School that would turn down more money, but my goal is to find ways to raise the bar without trying to out spend our rivals.

While I lack a college degree and can’t spell my way out of a paper bag, I do know that the folks in Abingdon, Salem, Christiansburg, and Roanoke have more resources than we do.

What does this cost the school or the football program ? NOTTA..

What does it provide ? Just watch and see !!!!

Psalm 30:10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

Last night 🌙 was the 8th of my 10 night stay inside the gymnasium on The Hill, and it was a fun start to finish.

The first person I crossed paths with was Angela Goad at the ticket 🎟 table. She was multitasking, grading papers for her students in between selling tickets. I am told that she teaches some of our smarter classes, and she has kindness in her voice.

Speaking 🔊 of multitasking, the phone just dinged, and now I get to add this….

Now, here in exactly two minutes, I will receive an email 📧 from Rev Joel Osteen and the Trifecta will be complete. It pops in at exactly 6:00 am.

Now, we have completed our attempt to create a feel good wake ⏰️ up message. It’s time to switch over to working on the #6 book, the one that is about a lifetime of events that took place from being at or around a ballpark.

The tricky part is to make sure every story is a feel-good story because nobody needs any more negativity….

Bill Gallimore just sent a note that made me smile, as did Kristy Jones !

Book 6 will finish up with a great deal of Carroll County in it, but the trail has to lead us there….Follow the yellow brick road, the voice says…

Back to writing ✍️ now.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
