Three down, six to go ! Ana became our third grandchild to reach the status of Teenager !

Happy Birthday 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁 sweet Girl !

It’s still raining 🌧 in Fayetteville, so we will continue with our attempts to spread 🌞shine ! Bill ” Pappy ” Meade and his 9th Staunton tennis 🎾 team is in for a treat tonight !

Staunton High School 🏫 at Liberty Christian ✝️ Academy is on tap for tonight in Lynchburg, Virginia, as Regional team play begins for both schools.

Knowing that the Valley is getting soaked right now, I wondered how my longtime friend was going to get his match played ?

The answer is that they will be playing on the indoor courts at Liberty University, next door to LCA.

Meade knows that win or lose, his young team will enjoy the moment of not only playing their matches indoor but also on a college campus!

Liberty University is to the Baptist church, what Notre Dame is to Catholics. When you add in the fact that LU is the largest school 🏫 in the universe ( combined, in person and online), it should be a win-win experience for his group.

Best of luck to SHS tonight and Godspeed on the trip down and back.

Won 5-1. Advance to quarterfinals to play district rival Waynesboro !!!!!

People wonder about why knowing Spotswood High School Girls 👧 Basketball Coach is so relevant to me….

This post 📫 is #1 on any list of reasons!

Yes, Coach Dodson wins Basketball games at an alarming rate. Yes, Dodson is currently tied with Page County Softball Coach and close friend of mine, Alan Knight, with seven State Championships.

Yes, Dodson is a Page County High School Alum so that gives the Duo of Panthers grads a combined 14 VHSL titles.

Yes, Dodson is so cool that he gets to hang out with people like Dennis ” Preacherman ” Zimmerman.

Yes, Dodson took the time to write ✍ the Book 📖 Foreword for our book about Carroll County Girls Basketball, immediately following our dismantling his Trailblazers.

All of that makes me Proud to know him but it all takes a back seat 💺 to the fact that the Man has dedicated his ENTIRE adult life to those who face challenges!!!

Chris Dodson is the Northern version of our Vickey Ritchie, every day and all day. Except Chris is as tall as Vickey Ritchie is small. A picture of those two side by side would be PRICELESS.

The World 🌎 needs more people like Vickey Ritchie and Chris Dodson and know that I feel blessed to now both of them !

Day 4 on The Road has quietly turned into Day 5 but the end is now in sight !

Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee were added to the Talley today. This brings the total for the trip up to 11 with a shot at it reaching 14.
