The Hill – Carroll County pushed its total of Three Rivers District Champs 🏆 to three when the Girls Junior Varsity team clamped down on visiting Radford, 43-14. The team will now have one week off before it hosts the abrevated District Championship tournament next Thursday night.
Kayla Young once again led the offense for Head Coach Kayla Nester, scoring 16 points. The team defense pitched a second quarter shutout and twice held the Bobcats to just three points.
Young had 14 points at the break but with the team leading 26-3 she saw limited action in the second half. Raylee Goins netted nine points and Faith Clontz contributed eight as the offense continues to gain confidence in their half court offense.
Coach Nester took the time to reflect on her teams season and winning the regular season Crown 👑.
“We are regular season district CHAMPS! They have earned this one and have been working towards this for a while now. So proud of this group and all they have accomplished this season!
The last few games I’ve had a little motto for them…Don’t talk about it, but BE ABOUT IT. We can say we want to be champions and want to be successful, but none of it matters if we don’t put our words into action. We have to step out on the court and make it happen. These ladies have done just that. They play hard and want to prove themselves to everyone watching, but they mainly want to prove to themselves that they are very capable of good things in this program. We are playing well right now and I think they are proving themselves everyday they step onto the court. “
CC Mitchell continues to gain experience in the offense since her late season 📞up, adding six points in the fourth quarter.
Laynie-Jo Leonard and Kenzie McMillan finished with two points each to round out the scoring for the Cavaliers.
Radford High 3 0 8 3 –14
Carroll County 16 10 7 10- 43
Congratulations 👏👏👏 on becoming the third Cavs team to wear the Crown 👑 in 2023-2024 !
