Best Of Luck To All Students!

 I just recently finished a recording for my podcast with my old high school baseball coach Ray Hoppel, which was a ton of fun and don't worry, the episode will be uploaded soon. But after doing the recording, it made me realize something and that was Summer vacation is basically over and people are now returning to another year school for kids in different grade levels.

As always, when it comes to this time of the year, many of us are thinking where on Earth did Summer go? Or that it went by way too fast. Pretty so many of us are going to start hating that it is too cold outside and that we can not wait till it gets warmer again 😂

Now with my history when it comes school, it isn't always at the best, but again after talking with Coach Hoppel. It was another reminder that there have been some amazing moments despite my struggles.

And that is basically what I wanted to do with this blog post. I want to talk right to all of the students who are heading back to class whether it be from elementary to middle, high school to college. I want you all to go into this year with this mindset.

Which is to dream big! Go into the year with the mindset of giving it your best whether it be in the classroom or out on the sports field or just being with other people because you never know what is going to happen.

To the students, be appreciative to all of the teachers you will have throughout your time at school. You may not know it, but they can be a huge influence in your life. There will be times where things get tough, but just know that they are always there for you, much like your friends and family. Speaking of friends, make as many friends as you can because you never know what being someone's friend could mean for someone else. Cherish each other because you know if you will see them after it is all over, but be thankful for every time you have with them.

To the teachers both young and old, know that each young mind that walks into your classrooms are in need of guidance. But also students need to know that can be somebody, you never know there could be a future President or someone could find a cure for whatever diseases or become a famous athlete or musician or painter, etc. Also students, you may not understand what your teachers are saying or doing at that very moment. But it could be something that helps much later on in life that you can pass down to your children so students, please be respectful to your teachers and coaches.

I pray for all students and teachers going into this new school year and that I hope you all will find your peace and happiness!

Good luck to you all!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
