A concerted effort has been spent so far trying to acknowledge the effort of our new Wrestling Coach West Long and his 2023-2024 squad. Attending the open house đ night in the gym, sharing all information given, attending the home opener Tri-Meet with Radford and Floyd County. Plus arranging an opportunity for Long to do an interview with Allen Worrell of the Carroll News that led to a very nice feature story about the program. Can’t forget the Senior profile for Andrew Myers that we put together.
Why the list of effort at 5am ? Today is listed as a Meet / Match Day for our Cavaliers and I’ve been working the internet for a while now trying hard to learn about today’s event in hopes of trying to create a preview for the squad.
Carroll County High School đĢ site shows just one event today and its our Wrestling team competing up in the Roanoke area at Hidden Valley High School. The screen shots above show the information that I was able to uncover and it would appear that the event is going on both Friday and Saturday. The schedule đ up top has the event starting today at 2pm and 10:00 am Saturday. Once again, not sure if Carroll County will be competing both days or just Friday ?
Wrestling is very much like Track and Swimming in that there is not a set District schedule that includes Home and Home competition. We are slated to compete a total of three times on the Hill with the rest of the season being on the road and the number of teams involved on a given day changes as well.
We are not easily discouraged in our efforts and while getting coverage for the team requires more work we will find a way to get it accomplished.
If there is anyone out there that can provide more information about this weekend PLEASE send it along!
Hard working đĒ Student Athletes that have a Coaching staff committed to their future gives Carroll County High School yet another program that the Community can be proud of !
Best of Luck up in Roanoke !
The road less traveled !
