Greetings from Bitterly cold Cincinnati, Ohio where I am winding up the two-day Queen of the Nile Cheerleading Competition presented by All Star Challenge.
It’s has been a wild a crazy week. Hats off to Coach Greg Lawson and the Laurens Raiders. I had the pleasure of traveling down with the team Friday morning.
Anyone who doesn’t think they have an affect on this team is very much mistaken.
The reaction of these players when they rode through the parking lots at LDHS and then through Laurens Middle and E.B. Morse and Ford Elementary Schools was one I will remember for some time.
Even when we had a problem with a tire on the way down, the kids did not let any of the outside circumstances get to them.
Let me also give a shout out to the 800 + people who made the trip down to Conway to cheer on these kids.
On a cold, windy night you were truly that 12th man that Coach Lawson talks about being a difference maker.
They’ll be counting on you this Friday when we travel to South Pointe.
Another big thank you to Rhett Harris and Mark Freeze for doing a great job on the PC/Georgia men’s game. And while I’m at it another round of thanks to Wyatt Mattison, Jim Iacuone and Brandon our technical advisor from PRTC for helping us pull off broadcasting two games at the same time Friday night.
We didn’t want either group of fans to miss out on the chance to listen to those important games.
And another thanks to Wayne McIntosh and Bill Boroff for getting me back Friday night in one piece. It was a little easier getting on the road t the airport Saturday at 4:30 since they were driving back from Conway,
We’ll have a similar set-up this Friday when Laurens travels to South Pointe and PC makes the trip to Clemson.
Make sure you check out the new picture gallery we posted from Friday’s Laurens win at Conway and I’ll talk with you folks when I get back too much warmer (I hope) locale of Laurens County tomorrow!
