Muhlenberg Middle School 🏫 of Woodstock is the opponent for opening night 🌙

Later tonight, it will be Duke hosting Charleston Southern and both Carroll County teams playing at Patrick County. First things first, it’s Luray Middle School Volleyball…

More 2 follow !

1st TO, Falcons leading 19 – 13 on the strength 💪 of the serving by their #4.

Set #1 goes to the visitors, 25 – 18 [5:01]. Luray trailed 8-1 early but rallied back to 22-18 before the Falcons closed out the set.

Early TO in 2nd set, down 9-2 as Central once again opens with two big servers.

Set #2 ends 25 – 11 [5:22]…

5:27 – Start of the 3rd set….

15 – 9 for the Falcons to close out the night at 5:40.

Charleston Southern is holding their own down at Cameron in the first set.
We interrupt our VB coverage for 60 minutes of rec league soccer ⚽️.

Otto and Adam have both put the biscuit in the basket 🧺 early for the Hokies, coached by our Son, Christopher. Melody enjoys playing on a team coached by her father 👨.

We are playing against the Tar Heels and still lead, 2-0.

6:54 pm – Halftime, leading 2-0 !

Duke holds on 25 – 23 in the second set, lead 2-0 ! CSU came to play, though.

Good evening, Bro! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it…. Dawn is there and will send some photos later.

Won 1st set 25-21
Lost 2nd set 21-25
Won 3rd set and match 15-8

Story credit to Travis, but no, not really, as it was Dawn doing all the heavy lifting on this one.

Congratulations to CCHS JV on improving to 2-1 on the season !!!

Tar Heels convert a penalty kick to cut ✂️ the lead to 2-1.

Hokies 2, Tar Heels 1 until Adam from deep makes the final 3-1 @ 7:23 pm

Duke completed the 3-0 sweep, but they had to work for it. That leaves the Varsity Lady Cavaliers VB match.

Carroll County Varsity Lady Cavaliers finished off their sweep, 3-0 at Patrick County, and will return home 🏡 with a shinny 7-1 mark on the season !!!

I’m still hoping to add some pics 📸 from the night 🌙…..

Bonus Note 📝 from Mr DeHaven : CCMS football 🏈🏈🏈 pitched a shutout over at Galax, 36 – 0 !

Carroll County goes 3-0 when you count the football. Duke VB won their match, and we split up here in Luray !

Fun night 🌙 and now tomorrow belongs to Half Pint Harris and Ferrum College !

Note : I would happily make space for the CCMS VB if we were to hear from someone over there.

7 – 1, and now we can focus on Glenvar invading The Hill on Thursday night 🌙!

We have six more volleyball 🏐 nights on The Hill planned out now, and the way our Lady Cavaliers are playing, should we be thinking about one more in the postseason ????.

I love the graphics here !!!

One of the unique things about volleyball season is that you have one week that accounts for 1/3 of your final record, and that was last week. The team dug ( VB term ) deep and killed ( VB term) it by going 6-1 !

The part of the Day long tournament in Glade Springs is the fact that it becomes a team and family bonding experience. Start to finish the day runs from 8am until 9pm and should strengthen the group, especially when you Ace ( VB term) the test.

Tonight, it’s over to Stuart for a Three Rivers District match and then back to The Hill for a Thursday night 🌙 showdown with Glenvar.

72 hours of volleyball 🏐 begins tonight, and we will have it at five very different levels & in five separate Gymnasiums !

Tuesday evening will involve matches at Luray Middle School 🏫, Duke University, and two at Patrick County High School in Stuart.

Wednesday night, will see 👀 D2 Ferrum College play a home match at 6: 30.

Thursday night, matches will be held at both Signal Knob Middle School ( Strasburg ) and on The Hill as the Glenvar Highlanders make their annual trek down from Salem,

A total of eight matches will be played in just over 48 hours, and the connection to each one will be considerably different. In two of the matches, it will be about playing the role of host for both Nikki Heflin and Cindy Edwards. Thursday night will be extra fun for me because of the Glenvar – Carroll County match-up ! It will be the fifth of 10 nights 🌙 spent in the home gym this fall.

But there is plenty to keep an eye 👁👀 on between now and then !

In Luray, Virginia, two of these young ladies will be making their Middle School 🏫 debut for the Bulldogs ! Both Melody and Ana will be in action 🎬 for the first time on a school team ➕️ it turns out that Madison, the youngest one, has a soccer match immediately after in which she will be coached by our Son, Chris. !

Peter Muhlenberg will make the trek across Massanutten Mountain ⛰️ tonight with the match starting at 4:30 !

Down in Durham, North Carolina, Duke University finally gets to play inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Lady Blue Devils went 4-1 over two weekends on the road and will host Charleston Southern at 6:00 pm

Tonight, the Lady Cavaliers will play their first actual road match of the season over in Patrick County ( Stuart). The varsity team has played two home scrimmages, two home matches, and then a five match marathon over at Patrick Henry – Glade Springs.

Our team sits at 6-1 overall after their second place finish in the Rebel Classic !

Our Junior Varsity team sits at 1-1 and should be hungry for playing tonight after spending time at the Flea Market parking cars 🚗 to raise $$$$.

Wednesday night at 6 :30 pm, Half Pint Harris, pictured above with her two sisters, will once again take to the court at Schwartz Gym.

Francis Marion University ( Florence, SC) is a very familiar school name from our time spent down at USC – Aiken. The Lady Panthers sit at 3 – 1 on the freshman season for Miss Harris.

Now you know the eight matches and the connection to them. The amount of coverage will be directly connected to receiving some assistance from others, but it will be a fun attempt just the same. Patrick County High School gym is where cellphone service goes to die, so anything from there will be delayed a smidgen.

Let’s play volleyball 🏐, or in this case, let’s watch and announce volleyball.

No point spreads, no drama, just parents and grandparents watching from the stands and cheering for their favorite player(s)!
