Going to Disneyland, like on TV 📺, not so much…

Going with the Mrs to enjoy a thick steak at a local eatery ?

Not so much, the correct way to enjoy the moment ? By preparing the field for the Middle School Softball team on Saturday.

Addie Greene pitched a complete game as the Junior limited the Highlanders to just three hits. The righty struck out four while only issued one base on balls.

Carroll County completed the sweep of the season series after winning 20-2 back on April 7th at Glenvar. The Highlanders have improved quite a bit over the past three weeks, but the Lady Cavaliers backed Greene with double digits in the hit column.

CCHS scored all seven runs across the first three innings with the top of the lineup doing the bulk of the heavy lifting 🫴. Both underclassmen Greene and Natalie Burress reached base in all four at bats. Burress finished with 3 hits, two runs scored, and two RBI. Greene finished with two hits, two walks, two runs scored, and one RBI.

In addition to the 10 hits, the Highlanders were charged with five misques. A number of Lady Cavaliers made great contact and reached base multiple times. Senior Bayleigh Allen touched first all four times but ended the night with zero base hits. Fellow Senior Laiken Burnett reached three times with one base hit and one run scored.

Senior Madison Coleman ended her night by going 2 of 3 with a run scored. The event was a success in large part to the number of folks that showed up early in hopes of making the day as memorable as possible !

I  hope to circle back and add some photos 📸 from the ceremony, assuming that some make it my way.

Ryan from The Carroll News was on The Hill with us tonight, meaning that our local newspaper 📰 should have a game story and art 🎨 in the coming edition !

All said, the night was great from start to finish, and a great lead-in to Prom Night.

Monday night, it will be back to business for the team as Galax makes its annual trek across US-58 to The Hill for a JV / Varsity twin bill. Terry Warf and his JV team will play their home contest against the Highlanders at the end of the season.

” A bit of a messy and rainy night on The Hill,  but the girls came out on top. In the first half, Yeili Urbina sent in a beautiful corner that Savannah Swecker finished with a one-touch volley. The girls continued putting lots of pressure on Galax’s defense, with many opportunities coming very close to going in. In the second half, we had another goal off of a corner kick, but it was called back, so it kept the game at 1-0. With around 10 mins left in the game, Savannah was taken out in the box, which won us a penalty kick. Callie Harris stepped up and buried it to put us up 2-1. It may not have been the best soccer that we had played, but the girls still found a way to get the job done!”

The second half of the back to back saw our Lady Cavaliers travel up to Glenvar to face undefeated Glenvar. The Highlanders remain on track to challenge for the Class 2 State Championship.

From Head Coach Casey Burcham :

” Not our day offensively.  Reid and Colby did enough on the mound for us to be successful.  Give credit to their pitcher.  He commanded the zone all afternoon and kept us off balance.  We will get back at it next Wednesday against Grayson.”

Carroll County High School will enjoy an extended weekend before returning to action 🎬 against the Blue Devils.
