Softball capsule #8 belongs to the gatekeeper of all things under the umbrella 🌂 of Sports on The Hill !

Fifty years of dealing with athletic directors and various levels, there are certain characteristics that you hope and pray 🙏 for. Two of them that top the list are caring and consistency, and our Kevin DeHaven possesses both of those in abundance !

I don’t think a person can ” fake ” caring about people, and if Mr. DeHaven has had a bad day, I wasn’t around to witness it.

Yesterday afternoon, when I was able to capture the video 📹 of Brenden Fariss clearing the bar on the High Jump, the one that landed him in the Top Ten, I immediately thought about who should I send it to ? It was a short list, it went on my site, and it went to Mr DeHaven.

One of the things that makes the world 🌎 a better place is the unconditional love and support Kevin receives from his Bride 👰‍♂. While our paths don’t cross that often, anytime I see Mrs DeHaven, I immediately think about fortunate we are to have them as a package deal !

While I couldn’t pick his Mother out of a crowd, I greatly appreciate your opinion of my writing ! It fuels ⛽️ the fire 🔥!!

In the springtime, our paths are even further separated because Baseball is his baby, and my first ❤️ is softball, but I would like to think that we have mutual respect for each other.

The Hill is in good hands 🙌 because of the DeHavens, Mom included !

Now, here’s the tough part for me. Yes, I dreamed about folks waking ⏰️ up to the site and reading this type of support, but the reality is I’m dependent upon sending a link to the correct person so it can be shared on social media.

Now, who else out there feels the same way I do about the first couple of Cavalier sports ?

Samantha Reed, maybe Deana Burcham could be?? I’m pretty sure that Casey Burcham feels the same way, but like me, he doesn’t spend time on social media. Rick Nester again falls into the category of Casey.

Kevin doesn’t have a Nike shoe contract and probably makes .18cents per hour and he is good at his job !

Whoever ends up with this capsule, please get it to his Momma, I know she will like it !

Nothing says ” Welcome 🙏 Home 🏡 ” like ⛽️⛽️⛽️ at our local store in Laurel Fork ! Fun day with Brenden Fariss and Shawn Montgomery in Lynchburg. Left enough meat 🍖 on the bone for Ryan McCafferty can pen 🖊 a nice story next week.

#Proud Parents

Tonight, we will close out the efforts under the banner of ASPN on The Hill, and I couldn’t be happier about the sign off efforts !

It’s that time of the year – the next stop ✋️is Liberty University and the completion of the Box 📦 Set of 👕👕👕👕. Brenden Fariss is heading to LU to represent our Track 👣 and Field program ! Running post until 2 pm Friday – 24 hours with Coach and Student Athlete !

Nice Duke shirt 👕

Today is the day that our Carroll County High School sports season concludes, and I am honored to be spending it with Head Coach Shawn Montgomery and Junior High Jump specialist Brenden Fariss on the grounds of Liberty University.

We will meet back up just before 11 am. and be with our duo until the completion of the 27-person competition.

We have our normal guest partners wrapping up their morning uplifting, and we begin with Brother Osborne

Bible Verse of the Day

John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Later on this morning, Howard Mayo will check in with his Motovational Nugget of the Day as well.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌

Softball capsule #7 belongs to Mrs Donna Nester, the person who provides the glue that holds our program together ❤️

Donna Nester is incredibly busy in the springtime ! It’s not easy to be the Team Mom to her husband’s ball club, being proud of her son’s Junior Varsity Baseball team and his role with Varsity ball as well.

Add in the love she shows toward her daughter – in- law, Kayla Nester, who runs at 100 mph, 24/7. The next bonnet 👒 Donna wears is Grandma to three adorable grandchildren. Other than those things, life is just a day at the beach ⛱️ for my neighbor.

The one thing that Donna has to do is remember to breathe and every now and then enjoy the life that she has cultivated.

We like to let Coach know that he married up by a wide margin, and he nods in agreement every time !

Incredibly nice lady who plays a much greater role than she realizes !

Thank You, Ma’am , for being you for so many.
