Carroll County High School returned to the gridiron 🏈 tonight with a three team scrimmage just one week before its season opener at Patrick County.

The Cavilers hosted Auburn High School and Martinsville High School with the action getting started right at 6pm. Auburn headed back to Riner just after 8pm while Martinsville and CCHS returned to the field for the equivalent of a fifth quarter.

Both of the offenses had a clear advantage early on as the Cavilers and the Eagles put five touchdowns on the scoreboard in the opening 15 minutes of action. CCHS held on to take the quarter 20-13 after posting two early TD’s.

. Martinsville tagged out Auburn for the second quarter and immediately posted 8 points in a matter of less than two minutes. The home team answered with a TD drive of its own to pull within 8-6 before both defensive units would settle into a groove. The visitors would eventually tack on one more score to take the frame 14-6.

The action would continue on until the post-game handshake took place at 8:35. The home crowd was energetic throughout the two plus hours of action.

The Cavilers looked energetic and will travel over to Stuart one week from tonight in hopes of getting their season off to a successful start.
