What a thrilling finish for the Varsity Boys as they ride the momentum of the game tying basket at the end of regulation to capture a 57-54 contest. More to follow later but for now its time to head over to the Old Gym for the Junior Varsity contest between the same two schools.

Friday Basketball 🏀 has a unique feel on the schedule

The normal routine for game day is 5:30 and 7:00 start times at two different schools. Today’s games will be slightly different for both the Girls and Boys Basketball teams.

On the Girls side the Lady Cavaliers will still be heading up to Radford but instead of 5:30 (JV) and 7:00 (V) the slate will just have one contest and it will begin at 6:00pm.

The Junior Varsity game has been canceled and the Varsity Girls will move up one hour and tipoff at 6pm.

The Boys are set to host Alleghany County High School but will do so over at Floyd County High School. The schedule is set to get underway just past 1pm with the Varsity squads playing first and the JV taking the court closer to 3pm.

Third times a charm as Varsity Boys Basketball 🏀 finally gets to play Grayson County

Postponed once my illness and a second time by inclimate weather the Cavaliers and Blue Devils were finally able to play some hoops.

Davis Reitzel wasted little time in showing everyone that he was ready by pouring in 11 points in the opening minutes of action. CCHS 18-9 nearing the end of the opening quarter.

One quarter in the books 📚!and its looking good for the Cavs. Reitzel finished the frame with 11 and four other Cavaliers joined in the fun.

Seven Cavs have scored a basket as the teams offense is clicking at a high speed. Reitzel leads with 13 points with Elijah Cox next with 9 and Ethan Richardson has 7 points at the break.

Reitzel added 13 more points to his already impressive total in the third quarter as the Cavaliers outran the Blue Devils 27-15 in the frame.

With the outcome out of reach at 72-37 both Coaches made sure that everyone on their roster was able to record a few minutes of game action.

Grayson outscored CCHS 9-8 over the final 8:00 but it was way too little and too late to keep the Cavaliers victory celebration from taking place after the final horn.

Reitzel finished with a game high 26 points with one small hiccup. The #5 jersey didn’t survive the fourth quarter as it was swapped out for a #34 shirt. Luckily the Cavs didn’t need the #34 version as the fourth quarter played out.

Elijah Cox added 16 points and was joined in double figures by Jabin Talley (12) and Ethan Richardson (10). Eight players scored in what would have to be called a Total Team Victory for CCHS!
