Greetings from Martinsville, Virginia! It’s time for the next edition of Saturdays with Coach Motley!

It’s not very often that living in Laurel Fork gives you an advantage when it’s time to go out for a Road contest but today is one of those days ! After the third Saturday trip last season with the Girls 👧 Basketball 🏀 team I created what I deemed to be a clever tag line – Saturdays with Coach Motley !

one of the impressive things about our program is Coach seeks out the best out of district competition he can find our Lady 👩 Cavaliers. Today we are set to face Carlisle inside the Gymnasium on the campus of Patrick Henry Community College.

Carlisle is located a few miles East of Martinsville off Highway 🛣 58 (Axton). The Chiefs have already played six games this season and enter today at 3-3.

The Boys 👦 game slated in the 3pm slot is running on schedule so we should be tipping off shortly after 5:00 pm.

Roanoke Catholic (Celtics) have mounted a serious comeback against the Winston-Salem Christian Lions which brings late game fouls into the mix. The start of our game will be closer to 5:15 now.

4:51pm – W-S holds on 47-44

Our Ladies have taken the court for the 20 minute warm up period.
