I don't know how many of you remember me sharing this, but last year during football season the freshman football coach asked me to coach. He told me we would be a few coaches short that night and it would be just me and him coaching. I told him I would love to, hopped in the car and off we went. We won that game over Creekside in a hard fought battle. So I am officially undefeated as a football coach, a record that I am sure will remain unblemished to eternity.
Well, last night was my first game as an official Junior Varsity softball coach. We won in convincing fashion, the girls hit the ball extremely well, they made good plays and for the first 2 1/2 innings you couldnt tell that 7 of our starters were playing a position that they have never played before. So, I am now undefeated and hoping for another win tonight over a great Fletcher team.
Youth last night was interesting, we were a little down in numbers because I had a softball game and could not run the van, but we still had a good group. We played a fun game called "Knight, mount, carry" with the kids and it was hilarious. I had Kyle Cubbedge and Phillip Worthington tossing each other around like a groom carrying his bride. In the back corner was Terry (my nephew) Raggins picking up one of our 6th grade boys Travien Wright by his ankles. What a blast that was to watch. NExt time we play I will make sure Tara is in there filming, it's good entertainment for sure!
So it's been a good week so far, we are looking forward to teh weekend and some snow on teh ground, and skiis on our feet in good ole West Virginia.
Thanks for reading and we will update again on Tuesday!
