Talking with Head Coach Mark Motley and Assistant Coach Brandi Cochran – Mitchell is the commons area outside of the Gym after the game I realized that it night be easier to ask who is left healthy versus who’s not.
The Cavaliers have 12 Varsity players on the roster but Monday night there were only seven of them well enough to wear their uniform.
Four players remained in Carroll County. Alyssa Ervin, Madison Lyons, Amie Delp and Savannah Swecker. In order that group was sick, sick, sick and injured, sick.
The fifth player not dressed was Bayliegh Allen but she made the trip but was in street clothes on the bench.
Sarah Alderman rejoined the team following her week long battle with the flu and gave Motley her best effort but its tough to miss a week of games and practice time and not have it effect you.
Callie Harris, who played an inspired second half left the Gymnasium wearing a bag of ice 🧊.
The battle to stay healthy comes at a rough time as the Cavaliers just started a four game in six day stretch that ends on Saturday in Salem.
Using the National Football League model, most of the Cavaliers would be listed as Day to Day. There is hope that Ervin could return to the lineup on Wednesday night 🌙 when the Cavaliers are set to play on The Hill.
Looking at the list of obstacles one would have to add a two+ hour ride on a School Bus 🚌 when the weather was less than ideal. That is one thing that provides hope for Wednesday is that its a 🏡 game.
The team that did take the Gym floor Monday night gave their coach everything they could give from the start of the game until the final horn.
The next 48 hours will be touch and go for the Cavaliers. Say a prayer 🙏 for the players to get better sooner then later and that the team can weather the storm until that day.
Miss Canada (#44) proved to be a handful from start to finish, finishing with 26 points.
Now that the facts have been laid out it will be easier to ✍ a game story.
