towny...

If anyone can "hit this out of the park" your the man towny... I don't know you personally, but your reputation as a baseball man is "flawless"!

Last year at the State Championship game between Notre Dame Academy of Middleburg Virginia and Greenbrier Christian Academy, you walked over and said a few kind words to our group of parents and fans. Your words were kind, appreciated and highly noted by several Notre Dame Academy parents.

Towny, "you can do it"... best of luck coach and you'll be running home before you know it!

towny,

You gotta make it! You are what the game is all about. You are a true legend! Our prayers are with you. Please fight hard!

You may not know me very well, but I know all about you.

Towny- I'm sure I speak for the entire Driller family when I say our prayers are with you and yours. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Towny -

We are all behind you, prayers heavily flying your way from Northern Virginia.

Towny:

My prayers are with you and your entire family. I know that if anyone can beat this, you can. Remember, God has a plan.

Coach T, it was truly a pleasure and an honor working with you this past winter when you worked with the Maury program on hitting. For that, I thank you and sincerely hope that the surgery goes well and that you recover quickly and 100%. Best wishes to you and your family. Our prayers are with you.

Coach T,

My prayers are with you for a very strong recovery.

Coach Townsend,
The tone of your message says it all, "The success' of the past are more real than the perceived failures of the future!"

Everytime I see you, someone references you, or read where you are spreading your baseball knowledge, I remember the Blasters, Diamond Builders, Greenbriar Christian....I am sure there others, but these are certainly success stories.

I look forward to talking with you soon.

My best to you, as well your family,

Coach - the only thing these websters do better than talk baseball is pray for one another! You can count on many intercessions going out for you. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart -

Towny,
You've made more positive contributions that have influenced young men and families both on and off the field than you'll ever know. My family like other on this website will keep you and your family in our prayers. We all look forward to seeing you on the ballfield soon and know that if anybody that can beat this disease it's you.

We shared some great times together back during our Post 204 playing days but I'll never forget the day I walked with you and my wife, Tracy, at relay for life. A walk I never ever thought my wife would ever make. It was an added thrill when you joined us. I'll keep in touch as the days move on and I promise you Tracy and myself will make that walk with you again.
