Photos 📷 will have to follow later as I have less than no internet down here.

 Tonight we are hosting the Good Folks from Graham High School 🏫.

 The match began at 6pm and the opening round concluded at 6:21 with Carroll County holding on for a 60-50 victory. Still learning about exactly how everything works but here’s what I think to be correct.

 Direct Questions are at the beginning of each contest. 10 Questions go to each team and every correct answer is worth 5 points. If the team getting the question answers incorrectly then the opposing team gets the chance to “steal” the five points.

 After the Direct Question round, the Coaches are allowed to sub players before the Toss-up round.

 6:38 – we are finishing up the 10 Toss-up questions for the “All Around” category. Graham has an odd number on the scoreboard, 2 points deducted if you answer first and its incorrect.

*** Need to check into this, not positive on the minus points.

 We now head into Overtime, tied at 38-38. Graham gets the victory by answering the third and final OT question.

6:44 – we head to the next round !

30 total questions per group, just a note 📝 to myself…

Round #3 – English :

Carroll County led 40-15 after the direct question portion and cruised to a 63-25 decision over the team from Graham.

 Will keep at my fact finding mission until the competition is over. Please feel free to check back !

Round #4 – ” Math” (7:00- 7:25 )

7:28 – We have now moved on to Round #5 – ” Science”

7:39 – Match conclusion

 Carroll County takes the final category (Science) after storming back from an early 30-15 deficit. The final score in Round #5, Carroll County 60, Graham 55.

 Pictures 📷 🖨🖼 to add, notes 📝 to process and of course the recap of the night by our Shannon Dalton !

The bulk of the photos 📷 were attached to the 📫 about a Busy night 🌙 on The Hill.

The excitement in the voice of Coach Kris after this weekends tournament was priceless !

 Kudos to Brandi Cochran – Mitchell for her continued efforts with our Youth !

What do we know about the MACC ?

 It’s one of two Academic teams that compete each year for CCHS. The Mountain Academic Competition Conference has 16 teams and is divided into two groups – East & West

Tonight we are hosting the good folks from Graham and the screen shot also shows you the other High Schools in our division ➕ our next scheduled match. The norm is to compete twice a week but the West has a bye later this week so tonight will be the teams lone match.

The artwork that Mr.Tickle and others create always look so spot on!

 Mrs. Shannon Dalton is on point with this group of Teachers and Students and she will quickly tell you the names of everyone involved with the program because its a team effort.

  While I am trying to run 🏃‍♂️ for the office of President of the Shannon Dalton Fan Club, I would like to use her efforts as an example of how someone can best take advantage of the platform we offer folks here with this site.

  Mrs. Dalton knows that any and all information she sends me will end up on full display. There are a large number of groups that are part of what we do here in Carroll County that have a voice to sing the praises about what they are proud of and who all helps them accomplish their goals.

 We have Singers, Dancers, Actors, Cheerleaders, Artists 🎨, FFA, FCA and just this morning I learned of another group, Future Business Leaders of America.

 I’m sure that there are even more than I just listed and I’m equally sure that at the head of these groups is someone that is extremely proud of the groups efforts.

 Greg Talley with his Tennis 🎾 program is another great example of someone that will create his own coverage and send it in because once Spring happens we split into so many different directions that its hard for anyone to get attention.

Coach Shawn Montgomery, who also happens to be a part of the Academics, takes full advantage in both the Fall and the Spring with his Cross Country and Track. Coach also knows that we are looking for every name, not just who did the best that day.

 Vickie Ritchie is a master of creating her own message and in her spare time she is willing to proof read my stuff!

 I cannot reach everyone out there, not for lack of trying. So, if you recognize a name on here please ask them about what is available to people.

 Back to Mrs. Dalton, I am thinking about getting buttons made up for my Campaign and I’m open to suggestions.

 Tonight – 6pm on The Hill !

” 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 !
