” Tough day of wrestling yesterday, the athletes worked hard and unfortunately fell just short of their State Tournament goal. The competitions may be over but there is still work to be done!
“Always Forward, Never Outworked!”

 Per the norm when we write ✍ about a team end we ask for everyone that put forth the effort so we can applaud 👏 them for representing our School 🏫 and our Community.

Thank You for your time, energy and effort 🙏 all season.

 Coach Long has a vision for his program and he knows it will be an uphill climb. If you see Coach out and about Please offer him encouragement 🙏 and if you see his Student Athletes on The Hill feel free to show appreciation for their efforts!

Mr. Stephen Puckett is a Man of many talents, one of them is being the Pastor at Gospel Chapel out here in Laurel Fork. Another hat 👒 that he wears is being in charge of the Maintenance Department 🏬 of the Carroll County School system.

 For the past week Steve has quietly run point on our project at Cavalier Park. While I was blessed to spend roughly 10-12 hours with five of his team members last week, I only saw 👀 Steve for a brief moment.

 Thinking that he looked familiar to me but not sure why? Had to smile when I finally connected the dots and realized he was the same Man 👨 that I had spent the last two Easter mornings with.

Mr. Puckett will forever be linked to one of our stories and for that I am grateful 🙏!

 Thank You Sir for your assistance, your sermon today and for everything that you stand for !

 

On the Boys 👦 Basketball side of things Floyd County and Alleghany went into yesterday tied for second place at 8-3. The two teams split their games and both had one game remaining versus Radford.

The Cougars took their turn with the Bobcats yesterday at 5pm in Radford and they held on for what had to be exciting 61-59 victory. AHS now sits 1/2 game ahead of Floyd County in the race for second place but the Buffaloes get their shot at the Bobcats Wednesday night. A Floyd County victory on Wednesday would create a tie 👔 and with the head 2 head meetings being a draw, we would go to a tiebreaker system to determine the Cavaliers opponent for Thursday night 🌙.

 Alleghany High won’t know if they are playing here on Thursday until the end of a game on Wednesday night. Floyd County controls their fate a bit but they would be playing on consecutive nights ahead of their Region run.

A Valentines 💝 Day match-up

Stay tuned !
