While the self governed rule for my writing ✍️ is to always be 1000% positive, I will state the fact that I’m 1000% POSITIVE that someone owes Cindy Edwards an apology.

See, Pedro, Coach, and I are considered by most people to be antiquated. Dinosaurs 🦕 from a time long ago, and we all need to be replaced by people, places, and things that are more fresh / hip/ cool.

Maybe, maybe not, but I know that allowing a high school fan to scream at our coach at the top of his lungs in the direction of my / our bench, in front of our players and fans is in a word, INEXCUSABLE.

Yet, no administrator or any of the three officials on hand at James River High School gave it a second thought. We ask ourselves how we win the challenges facing us in society today ? We start by holding people accountable when they are in public and know that it is never OK to show another person up in that manner.

Win the game, lose the game, it’s all good at the end of the day, but understand that you are representing more than just yourself, and your words are being heard by others.

Coach Edwards, on behalf of your two fellow dinosaurs, Pedro and I, we apologize that while you were doing your very best to lead our Lady Cavaliers in a volleyball match, you endured an unfortunate moment.

If was never my intention to be fresh, hip or cool, just someone who knows right from wrong.

The question is, why does one drive 🚗 from Laurel Fork to Buchanan ?

The old Scooby-Doo cartoon provides the answer…. those pesky Kids….

Tonight is the final time that our two Besties will send their team out onto the floor as a team, and it would be rude to not say a proper goodbye to them and their Kiddos!

Cindy Edwards and the older group will play again on either November 2nd or November 3rd at either Tunstall or Magna Vista. There is plenty of time to make that trek for the regional opener, but it was tonight or bust for the Junior Varsity group.

If, by some unforseen fluke, that isn’t the case, PLEASE don’t tell me that….

Nikki and Kelly have been a treat to help this season, and I can not believe that dealing with both Coach Edwards and myself on game nights is nonstop fun, so we should give them both their props for dealing with two people who show up locked in to achieving their goals.
