When the 2022-2023 College Football season offically started back in late August the goal was to attend the maximum number of games that a Power 5 Conference team could play. Twelve is the number of regular season games plus one if you make your Conference Championship Game and then two more if you were lucky enough to make the playoffs and then win your semi-final contest. The two teams playing for the FBS Championship should be playing in their 15th game of the season. Getting to 15 games didn't seem to be all that great of a challenge for a serious College Football fan so a need for tweaks were needed. The first one was easy enough by simply stating that it needed to be 15 different schools acting as the Home Team. Toss in that the games should be played in as many different States as possible and that the level of competition be as varied as possible to complete the challenge.

Labor Day weekend is always one of the busiest weekends of the Sports year and tonight is full of contests that include one of the teams that we pay attention to so to have some fun we will do a little spin on scoreboard watching. Between 7pm and 730pm four different levels of competition will begin so let's get started with the teams and cities involved. Independence, Virginia (7pm) will be the site for Carroll County at Grayson County in week 2 of High School football. The Cavilers offense scored at will in its opener at Patrick County last week and will look to match last year's Win total against the Blue Devils. Appalachian State University Field Hockey 🏑🏒 will play its first road contest of the season at Rider with the action 🎬 getting underway at 7pm. The Mountaineers (2-0) defeated Towson and Georgetown at home last week by a combined score of 9-1 and will look to stay perfect on the young season. 7:10pm will be the first pitch for the Seattle Marine

          Everyday the goal is to wake up and then go out and search for all that is Good in the World or at least my part of it anyway.           Monday was one of those days that gives me hope in the fact that there are still Good people 🙏 doing Good deeds for others around them.             The day began with a trip across the street to introduce myself to the Carroll County High School golf ⛳ coach, Kristopher Goad. Mr. Goad and his Cavilers were set to compete in a dual match along with the Blue Devils of Grayson County around 1pm if the weather would cooperate.            Carroll County is my home, hopefully for the remaining time here on Earth and like many other rural towns, cities and villages there is no daily newspaper that covers the area. Three separate weekly papers do what they can to provide news to the residents but there's no chance that a high school regular season golf match is going to be covered by the media.              Having been a high school golfer just
