It has been 11 months, two weeks and counting since the Lady Cavaliers celebrated in Richmond last season after claiming the teams first State Championship in Basketball. Every moment that followed has been about one thing and one thing only – Let’s Run It Back!
I’m not sure who was the first person to actually speak the words outloud but it would appear that the entire squad has embraced the thought..
In just under two hours the Gymnasium doors will open up ahead of the 6:00pm tip in the Region 3D Semi-final game between the Cavaliers and the visiting team from Magna Vista. Theses two teams met back in December with the Cavaliers claiming a decisive victory.
The Lottery has a clever tag line in “The Lottery, you can’t win if you Don’t play.” Well, you can’t defend your State Title if you Don’t make the State Tournament. Our Cavaliers will punch their ticket with one more W tonight. The victory might be a formality but joining Meridian and Brentsville District in the Big Dance still needs to happen and I’m pretty sure that a decent amount of the County is looking to share in the Joy of what feels inevitable to many.
Win tonight and live to Defend another Day but with this Special group of young Ladies I feel pretty confident that will be plenty more Hoops to play after tonight. Let’s hope that everyone 🙏 stays healthy and Coach Mark Motley and his team can be making plans for practice tomorrow!
