 Each of the four Carroll County Basketball 🏀 teams entered a three day event over the past two weeks and the Cavaliers combined to go an Amazing 10-2 in the twelve contests!

 The formats were a little different, with the Varsity Girls 👧 playing in a Round Robin event ( group of four teams with one game versus each opponent) down in Charleston, South Carolina while the other three squads competed in bracket events at Fort Chiswell High School 🏫 in Max Meadows, Virginia.

 Kayla Nester’s JV 👧 team opened the stretch ahead of the rest and set the bar pretty high. The Cavaliers swept their three contests against area teams to capture their bracket!

 The JV Boys 👦continue to be lead by Head Coach Jason Stockner and Assistant Coach Ryan Largen. While the team came up just short in their finale against Pulaski County they closed the gap considerably against a talented Cougars team. Dane Leonard averaged double figures over the three days to lead the team.

Head Coach Marc Motley and his squad was placed in a talented bracket which included host First Baptist Church of Charleston. The Lady 👩 Cavaliers played three consecutive hard fought contests, sweeping the set with a close out victory over Florida’s Orange 🍊 Park. The finale was a showcase game for Elon signee Alyssa Ervin as the Senior broke the CCHS single game scoring record with 47 points and missed a Triple Double by one rebound !

Another one of the Ladies had a career high in the opening contest as Sophomore Callie Harris reached double figures (10 points) for the first time in her Varsity career.

 Back at the Fort, Head Coach Anthony Barnes and Assistant Coach Kris Richardson couldn’t stop smiling after watching their undefeated squad dismantle three straight opponents behind the play of Davis Reitzel and Bryce Smoot. Reitzel posted Kevin Durant type of numbers in the Championship game vs Narrows.

Both of the Varsity squads remain undefeated on the season as the Calender prepares to flip from 2023 over to 2024. Not sure if that has ever happened before in the History of Carroll County High School ? Pretty impressive Basketball 🏀 being played by our Cavaliers !

 Hopefully everyone 🙏 that made the trek down to the Low Country has made it back home 🏡 safely now.

 Enjoy your Day today and rest up a bit as the Cavaliers will be competing on 21 of the 31 days in January !

Special Thank You 🙏 to Greg Talley for all of his efforts this week !

 Have a Blessed Day and we will see you Next Year !

Go Cavs !

Completed our tournament schedule today in Abingdon. Fisher Myers and Trenton Newman finished in Third Place and Samuel Collins finished in Second Place! Back to work on Monday with some much needed physical recovery and physical readiness and then moving into the understanding phase of our process! These athletes are asked to give 110% even when their bodies are not at 100% because that is the standard we set for ourselves! We will not just say it, we will live it, “Always Forward, Never Outworked!” Next Match: Wednesday, January 10th at Carroll County High School 6:00pm.

Carroll County finished up their South Carolina trip with a perfect 3-0 mark with the 3rd win fueled by Alyssa Ervin setting the School single game scoring record !

47 of the 64 points the Lady 👩 Cavs netted in their 64-57 victory came from #1 (Jersey #). More to follow

Coach DeHaven adds –

Single game scoring record. Plus 10 steals and 9 rebounds….

One rebound shy of a Triple Double !
