Cavaliers Boys Basketball: Inside Look at the #7/10 match up

Carroll County Boys basketball πŸ€ will begin their chase for post season success this Friday night at 6pm, hosting #10 seeded Hidden Valley.

The Titans finished 4-8 in the River Ridge District and 5-17 overall in the regular season. While sometimes a post season match up doesn’t allow much in the way of common opponents, this one gives us a 7 game look inside the numbers.they did both play seven games against the trio of Pulaski County, Blacksburg and Glenvar.

The Cavaliers went 5-2 over those seven games but Hidden Valley accounted for 60% of its win total on the season in going 3-4 versus the group.

Please don’t let the overall record of the Titans lull you into a false sense of the contest that awaits our Cavaliers. The team will need to perform at a High Level to advance and that’s easier to do when the crowd in the Home Gym is also performing at a high level!
