On a Good Day I can wake up and find the strength to brush my teeth in 16:24! You want to know what Alyssa Ervin can accomplish in that same amount of time? The 5’11 Senior can score 41 points in a Varsity basketball game. No one can watch every ballgame being played so a person say living in Roanoke looks at a box score from Carroll County’s 91-23 victory over Radford, notices Ervin finished with 41 points and would assume that Coach Marc Motley ran up the score by leaving his starters in too long.
βThe amount of floor time for Ervin shrinks even further when you take into account the game clock was running the entire second half. What kind of night was it for Ervin? The Cavaliers were leading 28-6 late in the first quarter when Ervin drained an NBA 3-Pointer and just for good measure beat the buzzer from 40 feet dropping another swish to close out the quarter with 24 points. Exactly one more point than the Cavaliers defense surrendered across the entirety of the game.

We will now host a Triple Header on The Hill next Thursday with our newly crowned District Champions squaring off against the #2 team in their respective leagues.
