Head Coach West Long is ready to take his first steps 🚶♂️ in his unique 18 year plan for his Wrestling program!
Radford and Floyd County are both in the Gymnasium tonight to challenge our Cavaliers. Trying to find the best way to frame the evening and I think the answer is to use a time-line format.
5:45 – Radford is currently using the mat to warm up for their first match
Its worth mentioning that this will be my first attempt at covering a three team meet from start to finish so it will be an adventure to decide what all is relevant and what is not.
One thing is for sure, these young Student Athletes work as hard as anyone wearing our colors. Knowing that, we will do our best to shine a light on them whenever we can.
It appears that Floyd County will be the Home 🏡 team for the opening match with Radford providing the competition. This will mean that Carroll County competes in the second and third matches.
6:01 – Floyd County and Radford are set to wrestle !
Let the matches begin !
Mrs. Goins has checked in from Galax with good news – Carroll County leads 18-12 @ Halftime….
6:33 – Radford and Floyd County just completed their match and our team is now working out on the Mat.

Reason to smile 😃 – one of the Radford Dad’s took the time to inquire about why I wasn’t announcing the match? He had enjoyed the commentary during both Softball and Volleyball 🏐 seasons. Always nice to hear kind words, especially from the visitors side !
