We are just moments away from the Opening Tip here at Carroll County High School as our Cavaliers host the visiting Pioneers from just up Highway 52.
The two teams met back on December 16th with CCHS picking up the road win. Tonight there will be both this live blog and a game story to follow.
The Cavaliers defense started quickly but the offense needed a couple more minutes to catch up.
Fort jumped out to a 6-0 lead but the Cavs pulled within 13-11 by the end of the first quarter.
The Cavaliers D turned it up another notch in the second quarter, holding the Pioneers without a single field goal over the 7:00. Five free throws accounted for the visitors scoring in the 14-5 frame.
Six Cavs have scored points with Landon Puckett leading the team with 7 while Isiah Easter and Paul Marshall both added 5. Caden Dalton has protected the paint and has two blocks at the break.
