Each time we host a CCHS Volleyball 🏐 match we try and find a way to show some Love 💘 to the amazing group of Family 👪 and Friends that support our Volleyball 🏐 teams ! Tonight was night 4 of 9 and the Ladies went with Pink Neon and we went with Dad’s R Parents Too.

The Dad’s were invited down to stand next to their daughters during the pre-game introductions and each one received a Mini-Volleyball 🏐 with a personal message from their Kiddo.

The only trouble with being the one doing the talking during this time is that it limits we in regards to taking pictures 📷. So if anyone captured any part of it Please share with the class.

It was great to see both of the Worrells in the Gymnasium as it means that both the Gazette and the Carroll News will have coverage for our Ladies !

JV – Carroll County shook of a slow start in the first set and captured the opening set 25-19.

James River bounced back in a big way to even the match, winning the second set 25-8. The Knights went on a 9-0 run after the Cavaliers pulled within 12-7.

The visitors took an 8-1 lead in the deciding game but Jason Petty coached his team back from the brink as the Cavaliers rallied to play the remainder of the set at 7-5, falling 15-6.

Varsity took center stage with neon hand prints on display and at 7:10pm the first serve took place. The opening set was the definition of back and forth as neither team could put on a run 🏃‍♂️.

Carroll County did string together the final three points to close out the opener, 25-19.

These two gentlemen are such a Huge part of our efforts to create an atmosphere in the building ! One with the Digs and one as the Master of the Hulk Smash 💪

Set #2 – The Cavaliers jumped out to an early 6-2 lead but struggled ever so slightly from the service line which allowed JRHS to stay close and finally close out the equalizer, 25-20.

_______________________________

Ser #3 – Dropping the second set created a sense of urgency in our team and it netted a 7-2 advantage. The squads traded points for the middle part of the set until CCHS closed it out with a 6-1 run 🏃‍♂️ for a 25-14 victory. The team started fast and finished fast to defeat a gritty Knights unit, 25-14.

Set – #4 : JRHS led 4-2 before the Cavaliers reeled off 6 straight 🔥, their longest run 🏃‍♂️ of the evening. But the Knights kept digging and blocking some might Cavs swings while taking a 22-21 lead.

Our Ladies were staring a fifth set but they didn’t blink. The final run 🏃‍♂️ was 4-1, closing out the victory 25-23!!!!!

______________________

Our goal, with all of the props and the other volunteers, is to create the level of atmosphere that our Volleyball 🏐 team deserves when they play in front of a Home 🏡 crowd. We hope that the team felt the energy, the same energy I expect Floyd County to display when they host us Thursday night 🌙.

It will be Grandparents Night 🌙 the next time our Lady 👩 Cavaliers play in their 🏡 Gymnasium!

Want to close out with a capture of some of the hard working Folks that live to make Carroll County High School 🏫 the best school it can be!
