Coach Mark Motley, pictured above with Spotswood Head Coach Chris Dodson, has his team sitting at 25-1 today. The team is now two games away from going Back-to-Back in the highly competitive Virginia Class 3 Girls Basketball 🏀.
Was does it take to get to 25-1? Was the schedule full off cupcakes 🧁? Did they play any tough teams ?
Let’s now go to the Where are they now portion of the program.
Ten of those games were played inside of the Three Rivers District which are games you have to play. Some of them were soft contests but let’s focus on the second best team in the league – Floyd County. The Cavaliers swept the Buffaloes with the margins being 35 and 46 points. FCHS just lost in the State Quarterfinals at the buzzer down at Wise, Virginia 68-66.
Outside of the District – Anybody remember that Saturday afternoon down in North Carolina when the Girls clawed their way to a 15 point victory over Salisbury ? They are still playing in the North Carolina State tournament at sit at 26-3.
The trek up to Salem to play Liberty Christian Academy ? LCA is still playing basketball 🏀 right now and I think they have a game tonight ????.
How about the Home and Home versus the folks kind enough to let us play in their Gym tonight ?
CCHS swept the Home and Home against PCHS by 26 and 6 points. But how good are they really 🤔?
How about 25-3 and playing a State Semi-final three exits up I-81 tonight. That would be 25-1 against teams not named Carroll County.
Two contests against Spotswood, one in the regular season and one more in the State Quarterfinals. Another pair of Top Notch victories.
Barren County (Kentucky) just finished their season yesterday at 28-7 when they were finally eliminated by Bowling Green in the State Playoffs.
Wren (South Carolina) – 26-6 and was just eliminated in their State Tournament.
The one blemish on the Carroll County ledger was a loss down in Tennessee against Hebron Christian Academy of Georgia. They currently sit at a lofty 31-0 and are on the verge of a State Championship down South.
Coach put his team on the court with the Best of the Best, every chance he could all season long and that’s why there will be no Stage Frieght tonight or Friday afternoon.
We are putting the finishing touches on our Huge Banquet plans for our event this Sunday up in Page County and I was telling them we would arrive for the final prep on Friday evening by way of Richmond. When asked if I was assuming a victory on Monday before the game is played, I responded that the only way that Carroll County doesn’t make it back to Richmond is if the Bus Driver can’t find his way to Pulaski County High School Monday night.
These young Ladies are as locked 🔒 in as they can be right now and its because their Coach mapped out the path incredibly well!
The toughest part left ahead of tonight is getting this team into the building. LCA is a high quality basketball 🏀 program. How do I know that? Because Coach put them on our regular season schedule.
