Carroll County … 9   7.  6.  6  – 28

Floyd County …… 7  15 17 14 – 53

Carroll County (28) – Goins 8, Mitchell 8, Harris 3, Coleman 3, Young 2, Leonard 2, Campbell – Zendejas 2, Hampton.

Floyd – Natalie Morris scored 12 of her game high 23 points in the third quarter to lead Floyd County to a 53 – 28 victory over visiting Carroll County in Three Rivers District play.

C.C Mitchell scored the final four points of the second quarter to pull the Lady Cavaliers (2-7) to within 22-16 at the break but Davis proved to be too much after the intermission.

Raylee Goins conjured up memories of her older Sister during her playing days by scoring eight points in the opening four ➕ minutes. The outburst included a pair of 3-pointers and allowed the Lady Cavaliers to lead the home team 9-7 after the first quarter.

Floyd County opened the second quarter on a 10 -1 run 🏃‍♂️ and was set to put the game out of reach before Mitchell gave Carroll County hope heading into the final 16:00 minutes.

Davis did her damage inside the lane and much of the damage was done on second and third chances. The offensive boards proved to be the difference between winning and losing.

” It was a tough game for us tonight aa we didnt shot the ball well as we where 11-51 from the floor and still had too many turnovers with 20,” said Head Coach Howard Mayo. ” We gave her way too many offensive rebounds,  Floyd having close to 20.”

The shooting percentage could be directly connected to the defense being played by the home team. Very few of the 51 attempts were fall into the category of uncontested.

Carroll County played hard right up until the final horn and Coach has some things he will work on before his Lady Cavaliers travel to Radford on Friday night.

I am not sure how many times over my six years in Carroll County that we played four Basketball games and were swept by our opponent. Tuesday night we went 0 for Floyd County and while it would be easy to just say, glad thats over and move on.

But our players still played hard, our Coaches were doing their best and the parents were in the stands cheering their Kiddos on. It wasn’t all for not and I will do my best to point out the bright spots.

Carroll County… 2   9   4    4  – 19

Floyd County…… 7  11  11  0  – 29

CCHS – Rylee Woodard 10, Milli Parker 5, Malei Parker 4.

Playing their second game without having Kate Holderfield in the lineup due  to an ankle injury, Carroll County faced a much more aggressive team than Cave Spring on Monday night

Rylee Woodard scored the first basket 🧺 on her way to a team high 10 points on the opening possession but Floyd scored the remaining points in the 7 – 2 frame.

Milli Parker drilled a 3-pointer to get Carroll County to within 8-5 but that would prove to be as close as the Lady Cavaliers would get to the Buffaloes.

Another highlight being Carroll County closed out the game on a 6-0 run, including pitching a shutout across the final 7:00.

Carroll County returns to action 🎬 Friday night in the Bobcats den at 5:30 pm.
