The soccer ⚽️ doubleheader is the one that might be considered ” normal ” as Glenvar comes to town with both their JV and Varsity squads to challenge our Cavaliers.
Baseball ⚾️ is set to host a JV only doubleheader with Martinsville as the Bulldogs didn’t have a Varsity team this season. The Nester Nine will play both ends of the twin bill.
The softball doubleheader is unique in that it involves both JV and Varsity, but our Lady Cavaliers will face separate opponents. Martinsville against the JV and Radford against the Varsity.
Emma Harman is the Senior of the Night at Cavalier Park !
Track 👣 and Field will hold their Senior Night celebration in between the soccer games as we celebrate both Trenton Newman and Amelia Dalton !

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day will appear here shortly.
Head Coach Rick Nester has been leading the Lady Cavaliers for just over a decade now, and the veteran Skipper experienced something incredibly rare on Thursday night – hosting a team on a 15 game winning streak. Chilhowie (17-2) pushed their streak out to 16 by holding off Carroll County 6-1.
Mother Nature didn’t do out Lady Cavaliers any favors as the thermometer read 49° with a stiff breeze pushing the number considerably lower.
Ben Coleman started the evening off by throwing our Ceremonial First Pitch to his daughter, Madison. Gabby ( Mom) was there for the moment as well, and then it was time to PLAY BALL !
Chilhowie 300 300 0 – 6 9 0
Carroll County 000 100 0 – 1 5 1
Emma Harman went the distance for Carroll County, and the Senior pitched well enough to defeat most teams, but unfortunately, the Warriors are not most teams.
Madi Preston gave the visitors plenty of breathing room in the top of the fourth inning, slugging a 3 – run home run into the trees 🌳 behind the left field fence. The big fly doubled the 3-0 deficit into a 6-0 hole. After the home run, Harman settled in to retire 11 of the final 12 batters.
Carroll County scratched out one run in the bottom of the fourth inning after Laiken Burnett led off the frame with a single. After back to back fielders choice plays and a walk to Harman, Brooke Webb delivered a RBI single.
The Harman walk was one of five on the night, and combined with the five base hits, CCHS had ample opportunity to close the gap even further as six players reached scoring position. Chilhowie made every play they needed to and fired the ball around the diamond 💎 with a level of confidence that one doesn’t see at the high school level.
Bayleigh Allen led off the bottom of the third inning with a rocket 🚀 that landed the Senior a double, the lone extra base hit for the home team. Allen advanced to third base on a Holly Miller ground out, but Kylee Dancy closed out the inning by retiring Addie Greene in a ground out.
Greene and Miller rounded out the base hits for CCHS. The team will get right back at it Friday night versus Radford after the Junior Varsity hosts Martinsville.
Miss Harman and family will have the honor of the Senior spotlight on Friday !
Thank you to the Smith Family for helping us tonight with the photos 📸 !
The game against the JV Warriors (15-1) raced out to an early lead and never looked back in picking up the non-district victory over our Lady Cavaliers.
The good news for Terry Warf and Company is that the team will play out their season in the friendly confines of Cavalier Park. Home games on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday await our Lady Cavaliers.
Ava Beamer and Addie Lineberry remained on The Hill with the varsity team.
