CCHS was three quarters in to its fourth game in five nights at the scoreboard read Glenvar 42, Carroll County 29. The week that had been up to this point had finally caught up with Coach Barnes and his team or so it appeared.
Not so fast there young fella, just like the Eveready Bunny these Cavaliers just keep going. Bryce Smoot connected on a trio of 3-pointers down the stretch and Elijah Cox also added 9 points in the fourth quarter as the Cavs chased Glenvar right until the final horn.
Smoot finished up with a team high 24 points and Cox added 16 and they willed their team to within a basket with just over one minute remaining in the contest. Glenvar would eventually prevail 57-53 to sweep the season series but winning by just four tonight and five points last month.
The final total on the week will show the Cavaliers went 2-2 over the four contests but had to winover their fan base by playing hard for 32 minutes all four nights.
The news is out there in that you cannot sleep on this years Cavs squad because just like that cute pink Bunny, this teams keeps on going !
The start of next week promises to be a challenge as CCHS plays a home and home with District leading Radford on Monday and Wednesday before finishing up the week on Friday by hosting James River. Four District games remain before the season wraps up with Non-District contests with Blacksburg and Galax.
One thing is for sure, these Cavs will give their Coach and their fans 32 minutes every night.
