Baseball ⚾️ Coach Kevin DeHaven took his Cavaliers up to Roanoke for a scrimmage today and was kind enough to ✔ in with his thoughts on the day.

We lost 8-7 In a scrimmage with Cave Spring. We scored 7 runs with only five hits. Struck out way too many times.
8 pitchers threw well.

Pleased with the effort and grit. I’m looking forward to this season with this great group of young men.

JV Boys 👦

JV Boys Soccer from Coach Puckett:

We played Magna Vista the team played very well for the first scrimmage of the year effort and ball movement was much improved over last year.

Main thing we need is some fan support for our home games this is one the most talented varsity teams we have had in years

Christian Ruiz and Bradsel Hernandez each had a goal we lost 4 to 2.

Thank You Coach Puckett !

This is from Coach Johnson:

I’ll send pics later. We tied our first game 1-1 against Chatham with William Burnett scoring the goal and Brayan Hernandez with the assist. We had 2 shots hit the cross bar that game and had atleast 90% possession. The score line didn’t show how we dominated. We lost 2-1 to Magna Vista. Yahir Ruiz scored the goal and Landon Puckett assisted. We Played our butts off and stayed even with the best team in the region the last two years. Needless to say this team is hungry and dangerous.

Thank You Coach Johnson and Thank You 🙏 Marion Harris
