Under five minutes on the Clock ⏰ as we get ready for tip-off. Linda tells me that over at the High School gym they have the bleachers completely open with the expectation of a large crowd !
Nice weather for mid-January and its Floyd County night here on the Hill ! Buckle up and enjoy the next four hours of Cavaliers Basketball 🏀
FIRST QUARTER :
CCHS jumped out to a 4-0 lead but the first seven minutes ended with Floyd leading 10-6.
Delayed showing of the opening jump ball

Floyd came out of a Cavalier TO and went on a 14-2 run that turned a 14-11 contest in to a 28-13 lead for the visitors at the half.
Five Cavaliers scored in the first half with Dane Leonard leading the way with 5 points.
Both Marion Harris and Linda Carter are reporting scores from the High School where Floyd County leads at the half by a score of 16-9.
More on the Girls JV game after the 2nd half here at the Middle School.
3RD QUARTER :
43-22 FCHS with 1:44 remaining in the period.
Cavs continue to play hard and the offense is finding a grove but the Buffaloes continue to execute.
17-11 Floyd in the 3rd, 45-24 overall. The crowd is in playoff mode and the atmosphere should carry over to the High School later. Not an ounce of give in the Cavs.
4th QUARTER :
The Cavs open the final frame on a 14-7 run to pull within 52-38. 9 for 9 from the free throw line after Coach instructed his squad to go hard to the basket.
Cavaliers take the 4th quarter 19-17, finishing on a strong note !
