Let’s play two – JV Football opener for Carroll County and Patrick County at Tommy Thompson Field – Live Blog

After the 7th and 8th graders played to a 6-6 tie the schools Junior Varsity squads were next to take to the gridiron 🏈 in Hillsville.

CCHS took the opening kickoff and quickly marched down the field before turning the ball over on downs inside the red zone.

The teams traded possessions until late in the second quarter when the Cavs once again entered the Cougars red zone. This time the Cavs punched the ball in on a 7-yard quarterback keeper with 3:50 left in the half and ran the same play again for the 2-point conversion.

Following another defensive stand, the Cavs once again entered the red zone just before Halftime. CCHS has used all three of its timeouts and now face a 3rd and goal from the 6 with 0:25.4 remaining.

Fourth down TD pass pushes the lead to 14-0 with 0:15.7 on the clock!

7th and 8th Graders kickoff Thursday Night 🌙 Lights in Hillsville.

Carroll County was given an extra down late in the final quarter after Patrick County jumped offsides on a punt on fourth and long and the Cavaliers cashed in with a 50-yard pass to tie up the defensive struggle.

CCHS trailed 6-0 with under 3:00 minutes on the clock before the Big Play in a game where both defensive units were dominating throughout the contest. The Cavaliers went for a two-point conversion, but the run play was stuffed, leaving the score tied 6-6.

Patrick County returned the kickoff for what would have been the game winning score but the play was brought back after a illegal use of hand flag was thrown at midfield.

The Cougars completed a pass as the clock flipped to triple zeros and the game ended with a final tackle at the Cavaliers 2-yard line. The game ended in a 6-6 tie in front of a sizeable crowd at Tommy Thompson Field.

Carroll County edges Grayson County in non-district golf match

High school golfers are typically the first of the fall sports to start their season each year to the point that their campaign is normally half over when their classmates are reporting to their first day of school.

Yesterday afternoon at Olde Mill Carroll County Head Coach Kristopher Goad led his ever so young squad into a meet with visiting Grayson County with his Cavaliers prevailing by a total of 393-443.

The weather started out as an issue before the skies finally cleared, allowing CCHS’s Camden Delavan to claim Medalist honors with an 87. Teammate Trace Reavis carded a 93 to finish the day as the second Medalist.

The Cavaliers have two matches remaining on their schedule before the post season begins in early September. The schedule shows them traveling to Glenvar next Monday before returning home to host Pulaski County on September 1st.
