It’s Game Day down in Boone for my App State Field Hockey 🏑 Mountaineers and Carroll County Varsity Football 🏈 will also travel 2+ hours to face a team formally named the Mountaineers. But let’s start with Marion’s take on last night’s Volleyball 🏐 @ James River. A Trio of Road Trips

Now – Marion’s take from the Gym in Buchanan last night 🌙.

We lost a very close match last night to James river!!!! I have always told my kids and my players you can win with class and you can lose with class. Well last night I have to say overall we lost with class. 24-26, 26-28, 25-16, 25-19?, 13-15. It is hard when you outscore a team by 9 pts but lose the match but as our coach told the girls last night sometimes that is volleyball. Our team despite not playing their best ball last night going down 2-0 they never gave up. Keep the fight up and finish the season strong and get ready for the playoffs !!! District tournament and regionals still left to play. Remember this as my all time favorite Cheer coach says it’s always a great day to be a CAVALIER !!!!!!

Thanks as always to Marion !

One quick note – Final Set was 14-16, after the Cavs rallied from down 14-9 to tie the score.

Kent State Golden Flashes

It’s still hard for me to call Alleghany High School 🏫 the Cougars because they were the Mountaineers for so long.

But the combining of the two Schools 🏫 up in the Highlands led to using the Covington Mascot. Our Cavaliers Football 🏈🏈🏈 team will look to build on last week’s stellar performance, also up in Buchanan (14-0 victory over James River), when they take on the Cougars.

The team is in the middle of a three game road swing and will be in search of consecutive Wins for the first time this seasons!

Quick recap before the start of the Drive 🚗:

The Volleyball 🏐 team played hard all the way to the very end last night 🌙 as the Knights needed extra time in all 3 sets.

App State Mountaineers look to earn another M.A.C. victory today at Home 🏡.

The Football team will look to defeat the team formally known as the Mountaineers up in the Highlands.

Going Full Circle 🔵 back to Marion – It’s a Great Day to be a Cavalier !!!
