My dad played basketball on a dirt court he would talk about the frozen ground with rocks froze in it no telling witch way the ball was going to go when dribbling that story it made me laugh thanks
😊
As a slightly disabled retiree living alone, I'm online maybe more than I should be. Especially in the hard winter months. But that's one of the best stories I ever encountered anywhere. Our moms and grannies sure had to overcome a lot to improve our own lives.
It’s a powerful statement for the strength of Appalachian women
Enjoyed again, JD
Maybe we made it too easy for them
@@janblackman6204 - What do you mean?
I remember fighting for title 9, demanding we girls have sports teams too. Needless to say we were shunned in school by the boys.
I want this story to be made into a movie! What an entertaining and inspiring story.
Thank you ❤️
JD, you had me on the edge of my bleacher seat, right there cheering for the Boomers. You are a gifted storyteller. 😍
Thank you Jodie!
Excellent story of the struggles women had to endure .
I’m seventy years old now ,and I remember my mama telling me that she was playing center for her high school basketball team .
And I could always see the gleam in her eyes when she would talk about her winning the state championship trophy .
That had to be along this era ,I’m sure these girls paved the way for my mom and so many others !
Thank you for a great video
You are amazing
Thank you for your sharing your mama's story Gary, stay warm this weekend
The way those girls rallied and came from behind was poetic. I’m sure they were shell shocked at everything they had seen including playing in a gymnasium. I’m so happy a few of their families came to watch but didn’t yank them out for dressing indecent! Great story JD. All the new stories this week are wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you so much Karen, I really appreciate all your support and look forward to your comments!
I found this channel recently.. it just popped up like a chipmunk out side my pumpkin patch.. having said such I’ve been steadfast in dogget determination to see each and every story such..I reckon I had to listen twice to grasp this story again…
Thank you!
Same here! This channel floated in just as purty as you please with stories like this one being my favorites!
Thank you. This story does a wonderful job of telling about what I call The Kentucky Trap for Girls. When I started school we had a brand new red brick school building that was built on part of what was my Grandfather's farm (at that time). Most adults didn't see any reason to educate any girls or women (because they were going to be nothing but wives and mothers who would not need an education). Back then, most adults around here thought that sending girls to school was a waste of Taxpayers dollars. Education was supposed to be for boys and men; and, that included physical education and organized sports. Because, back then only boys and men could become great at one of the sports (and go on to earn a living playing that sport). Freedom of choice and education was for white boys and men only (not for girls, women. and people of color). Remember, I am only 75 years old now. We have come a long way in improving human rights and choices in those 75 years. However, we still have a long way to go to make it right for everyone.

Your ability to tall stories is above & beyond anyone else ‼️ with a smooth steady voice you bring us to the highest of anxiety for what’s next.!
Was raised in the country & still 5’0” at 75, so I can relate. I’m glad she found an avenue to put her height to use 🥰
Waiting for lll 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thank you Dee, I have finished Molly III, I just haven't released it yet, next week sometime
Oh JD what a wonderful story. Thank you i rooted all the way thru.
Thank you Melissa, stay warm!
Great story. Made me smile. Go Boomers!!!!!
A feel good story!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller would make a great movie.
God bless😇❤🔥🙏 You have such a gift! That you choose to share it with us, is humbling. Thank you, Mr. JD.
Thank you!
This is certainly a captivating tale worth the telling... repeatedly!
Thank you Susan!
Good Morning JD , you have been spoiling us lately with more frequent uploads ....and I absolutely LOVE IT ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can hardly wait to read your new book. Thank you 😊
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful... the story and your narration ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I chuckled so hard that it darnt near broke my whole laughing muscle! What an ending! I pert near rolled right off my rockin' chair with this one! Little man with a mean-spirited little megaphone thought he could mess with Dry Cove Flossie, and get right away with doin' it even! Talk about getting your back all scratched up and all, betcha he was shy about showin' his face in school for a whole full month! He learnt a lesson no school tries a'teachin'.
Those mountain girls are fire when you get em riled up!
I'm all for youth athletics. I coached Pop Warner football for 7 years down in Florida. Won 4 Championships . Love to teach them, and watch em flourish into football players.
❤️
AWESOME STORY. i loved it.
Thank you!
Ok... that LAST line had me rollin!😂😂😂
Haha! I bet a lot of folks don’t even know what a shotgun wad is
You are an amazing story teller, keep up your excellent work. 👏💛🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
My grandmother, Maude Dannel, was born in Floyd County, Virginia in 1888.
I can only imagine the hard scrabble life she had growing up.
I was born in 1956 and took young to hear any of her stories as she had a massive stroke around 1962. The only early memories i have of her was when my mother would send my older brother and i up the street to have my aunt, who was unable to have children, would pin money to our pocket, to take back to help pay bills in the early 1960s.
My grandmother lived with my aunt as did my older sister.
The pictures of my grandmother in the 1940s show a stout, broad shouldered woman. Probably from the hard work of living without electricity, running water, and no luxuries for the first 20 years of her life.
❤️
" A display of linguistic virtuosity seldom seen in the annals of Appalachian storytelling " Bravo,JD, Bravo 👏!
Awww, that makes me really happy, thank you so much !
And never a better game was ever played again! Awesome story!
Thank you 😊
Amazing story, it does make a good reminder of how things get started.
Thanks Jim!
I’ve always rooted for the underdog! Their training and perseverance was why they won. Best part of the story was when Flosie whooped Herbie’s behind and shook him up so his teeth rattled. I was LOL throughout the story .😂. Thank you, I needed that.
Thank you Nancy!
Great story. Glad they won. That was awesome
😊
Thank you!
I'll have to admit that this is one of the best stories I've heard on this channel inspiring and also comical at the same time thank you for uploading it. This also shows off you're amazing talent as a story teller. I came across your channel by accident but now I am hooked one of my guilty pleasures is being watching or listening I should say to your stories. Thanks again for all of your hard work and research and talent also the respect you have for these people.
Glad to have you here Joseph
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller please continue with your stories I enjoy your hard work
Wow!! What a beautiful Father Daughter story, thank you so much 🙏❤
Thank you !
Good morning, JD! Waking up to a Saturday morning story from you makes my day better, for real, friend and this one is a dandy! Take care and I will see ya on the next one!
Thank you Scott!
I adore this story, it was sooo cool, thank you so much, made me laugh and want to hug that team ❤️
Thank you!
Just love to hear your stories. My grandmother told us stories of how she was on the girls basketball team in the early 1900’s in their little backwoods school in rural Alabama. She used to say, “We were pretty good but, “ them girls from Alliance were tough and big as boys!”😊
Thank you!
as a country and people today, we are in a sad state! the story of those people showed honor and Godliness. i wonder what those people would have done if a boy/male showed up to play "identifying" as a girl? or what they would have done if the public servants/gov. that work for us! tried to force them to let a boy/male join in and even use the locker room with them? God have mercy on us! and give us repentance! we need to take our country and lives and honor back!
Your gift for telling a story is something I have aspired to my entire life. This one was one of the best. Please keep them coming
Thank you Jennifer!
I listen to your stiries all the time. Sometimes I cry but not too often. I don't know why this story got to me but it did. I should've been laighing but instead I was hiding my rears from my 13 yr old grandson I'm raising. Merciful gracious.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it ❤️
My aunt was youngest of 8 and only girl , my grandpa was a firm baptist and I think she went thru the same things growing up in the ozark national forest , just luv your oreintation
Thank you for sharing that
Oh Lordy, I still remember playing basketball for our lil independent school. 😅
My poor Mother seen fit to spend enough to buy me a “sports” bra…to wear over my regular one. The regular ones didn’t seem to be able to hold things “in place” as I ran up & down the court.
After I was grown, she insisted it was because she didn’t want me coming from a game with a black eye I hadn’t deserved. HaHa!
RIP Mommy🕊
*She could make the preacher laugh, whether he liked it or not.
😂🤣
"The husky girles filled them Snugly "😅. Love it ❤
🤣
Got your book, loving the stories JD. Another great story about the women and Pa's from the mtns.... Keep them coming JD, love the stories
Thank you Pinky!
Holy smokes JD, that was one the best stories yet. I was rooting for those Boomer gals all the way. I would of love to have seen ol' Flozy swatting that guys back side. I could almost picture her sinking that winning shot too. Well until part III of Molly's story. Take it easy.
Thanks Troy!
That was quite the basketball game one that made even pappy proud. Thank you JD, that was another very enjoyable story.
Thanks Richard, have a blessed day!
I LOVE a story with a happy ending!
Thank you! ❤
Thank you ❤️
I absolutely loved this story. Takes me way, way back to when I was a kid and played on the sixth grade basketball team. I was a guard. I loved playing. I was on the main team.❤ Keep your great stories coming JD.
Thank you Judy!
I don't know how this channel ended up on my feed, but I was hooked only minutes in. This is such delightful content. You have a truly wonderful skill for storytelling.
Thank
You !
I've said it before , I love your story's and the way you tell them.
Thank you James!
Good morning JD! Wow! I was so deep in this story, I almost jumped out of bed and started cheering! Lol. I’m so happy that you’ve been giving us more videos to watch! You’re the best storyteller ever!!! Stay safe and warm. Temps here in Missouri are dropping like a rock and we’re all in single digits & hunkered down for the duration. Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Thank you Betty!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller You are welcome my friend! ✝️
I’m so excited to have received your book and can’t wait to sit back and enjoy it! Having this story to relax to after a hard night’s work is just what I need this morning. Thank you!
Thank you Claire ❤️
What happened to Molly part 3???? I grew up like that child and her story just touched a place in my heart... I just want to hug her and hold her and tell her she's loved...
I have completed Molly 3, I just haven't released it yet... stay tuned
This story was told so well my heart and spirit were into it. When Rosie lay the beatdown uponst the scallywag a cheer arose here too 😂. Beautiful story!!
❤️
This store was so cool I had to listen to it twice. Thanks for sharing.❤👍💯
Thank you!
Better than anything on television!!!!
Thank you!
Oh, wow! This is a marvelous story - on so many levels. Had me on the edge of my seat for the game but I felt anger, frustration, pride... Women have always had to fight so hard for simple equal opportunities and for recognition for holding our families together in so many ways. We're strong when we have to be. i was also aggravated, of course, at the assumption that mountain people would be ignorant and backward. I live in Northern New York now by way of NE Alabama, NW Georgia and the Smokies. When I first arrived 42 years ago, some ignorant folks thought that because I had a pronounced Southern accent and spoke slowly that I was less intelligent than they. I used their prejudice against them almost daily and they never caught on. Saw a phrase the other day that I intend to make my own: "Underestimate me. It'll be fun!" Thanks for another great and uplifting story.
Thank you Myra, have a blessed day!
👏That was one of the best true stories I ever heard!
im happy you enjoyed it Anna Belle
Great great story i enjoyed it very much
May you continue giving us these stories! 😅
Of course!
Ah JD what an excellent story. I loved it, thank you so much for the video. I always enjoyed watching girls basketball. Be blessed
Thank you!
I've only just found this wonderful channel. Just wanna say thank you.
Glad to have you here my friend
It was definitely a different time. I never even thought about basketball uniforms not being enough to "was a shotgun" 😂😂. Or their limbs being exposed. I'm not a sports guy at all,but sure enjoyed hearing about this game.
Sorry, "wad a shotgun"
How many folks you reckon won’t have a clue what that phrase means?
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller well, if they watch this channel, I'd say quite a few. But I may be wrong. If they don't know, it's worth looking up. That's why so many of those folks were such good shots, it took too long to reload.
Story was so exciting,Wow,what it entailed to be the first.New game,new clothes causing heart attacks (Lol),to these girls,travel,new city,building and added pressure of an audience.Touching to see the approval of their fathers.Sure made the difference in the story. Great story,as usual! Thank you!
Thank you ❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
My Grandma played basketball in 1924 at the high school in Branson, MO. There were 6 girls. I couldn't imagine her playing that, but I have a picture with her and her team.
❤️
Best channel on UA-cam, if not in the entirety of those damn interwebs.
Thank you, JD.
heck yeah! Thanks so much!
Another great and heartwarming story don’t mess with country folks ❤lol
❤️
Love this story ❤️ 😊
😊

Ol Mountain girls are still tuff today! nice story J.D.

O my what a tale this was amazing
Thanks
I am a 62 yr old who is disabled and had to retire early. Both slides of my parents are from WV and before that Virginia. My memaw would talk about life when she was young. Went to school til 6th grade. You would have never known it. Also how their cold celler had a creek go thru it. They were lucky. The stories about the aunts using snuff secretly. N so much more. I am blessed what all my family went thru to gmbetter the next generation. Especially the women. Our families have been here b 4 the Revolutionary War. A town actually named after a relative. Mom n dad did family histories in days b 4 computers. God Bless
Thank you for sharing that!
That was so inspirational! I love all the girls spirits!
🥰
Loving all these ❤
Thank you
Thank you!
Happy Saturday. Snowy hear and hope it’s decent wherever you are at.

Oh if only we could have gotten away with a Flozy move when I was in school.
Another great story.
Thank you!
Very well told excellent work
Thank you!
😂❤ Absolutely loved it!!!!
Thank you!
JD I loved it. I hope someday I can make it to a Storyteller Festival. It would be great to be part of an audience listening to your stories.
Thank you Janet! I appreciate all your kindness!
Fabulous JD, laughed as I could just see all the goings on in my minds eye. Thank you 🤣😊
Thank you Victoria!
Amother enthralling story❤
thank you!❤️
😂😂that was brilliant ‼️ love Julie south Africa ❤❤
Thank you!
Hi JD! Such a good story and I can just hear the preacher talking about the attire the girls wore. Girls didn’t dress indecent back then let alone play basketball or a sport they considered for boys only.
Flossy Buckner and the Boomers may not have been trained as well, but the determination those girls had.
Have a blessed evening!
Thank you Willow, I’m happy you enjoyed it
My granny played ball back in 19 teens I have a picture of her.
❤️
Happy Saturday to you! ❤
Morning!
I live on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. Girls basketball is important here. My sister played for Clarkrange who has won eight state championships. There are several teams around here with multiple state championships - Baxter, Pickett County, Livingston, and Jackson County all have three or more each. I live in Jamestown and my wife teaches at Alvin C York Institute. They won a state championship in 1984, and they are going back to the state tournament this week. I witnessed Clarkrange High School play Starkville, Mississippi in 1996 at a tournament in Alabama. My sister was on that Clarkrange team. Starkville walked out with five players all 6’ and over. Our girls ranged from 5’4” to 6’. My sister was our 6’ center. Everyone thought the big undefeated nationally ranked Starkville team would run away from the small school from Tennessee. By the time the buzzer sounded, then Starkville girls were wore out and Clarkrange had took a 17 point win!
Thank you so much! This is what keeps this channel going, bless you my friend ❤️
That was a really fun story... I was so worried that the girls might not get to play.... Thanks JD 😎👍
I’m happy you enjoyed it Kathy ❤️
Thank you! Loved the story. Definitely a keeper!😊
Thank you!
I’m 19 minutes trying to I’ll be back in a few hours GOD BLESS Amen 🙏
I believe I've found me a favorite story......so far. ❤😂
glad you enjoyed this one!
This was one of the best episodes. At 73 years old. I can remember girls only allowed to play intramural sports; a game against another team from the same school and there were no leagues. Girls could only play half-court basketball.❤
Thank you Catherine!
I dislike basketball. But my goodness, I would have love to have seen that game!
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!
This was a great story!❤
Thank you Renee!
Great sitting of the edge of my seat story. One of my first thoughts was that Preacher Ike would die of heart attack if he saw how girls dress nowadays.
He probably would
That is a great story.
Thank you!
Wonderful story thank you jd
Thank you ❤️
Another great story! Love each one of them.
😂😂😂❤ fantastic story tellin!
Thank you!
