Before we talk about tonight, let’s take a look back with Marion Harris as our tour guide…
_______________________________
Lady cavaliers closed out their season against Patrick county. Going into that game the Cavaliers knew they would be playing host to Bassett on Wednesday night in a 8vs 9 seed playin game. The ladies entered the night 10-3 after receiving a forfeit from Allegany. The cavaliers opened up the scoring when a PK was given to the cavaliers in the first two minutes and Ashlyn Newman made it to take a 1-0 lead. Scoring did not stop there. The 2nd goal came about 15 mins later when Callie Harris launched one from about 30 yards out to make it 2-0.
The 2nd half started with a very sweet pass from Newman to Harris. Giving Callie her 2nd goal of the night. The cavaliers were not done after that. The cavaliers scored two more times with the combo of Harris to Newman. This gave Newman 34 goals on the season and Harris 19 assists on the season. Newman seems to rewrite a record every-time she steps on the field. Harris is chasing down some history of her own. She needs 5 assist to tie the season record for assist that is currently held by her oldest sister Adrienne.
Defense had a great shutout anchor by karmen smith and Alexis Sheffey.
The cavaliers have only gotten to play 13 games but they have made the most of it. Come out to The Hill on Wednesday to support these girls in their post season run!!!!

Thank You Marion !
Sarah Alderman and Newman represent the Senior class for the squad and being its the #8 – #9 contest its all but mathematically impossible for the Lady Cavaliers to host another match this season. There’s plenty of hope that the team can move forward after tonight, its just not going to take place on The Hill.
Alderman is relatively new to the game of Soccer ⚽️ but its no surprise that she made an impact on the team because she is a well rounded athlete who plays with both heart and commitment in every sport she participated in during her four years on The Hill. The impressive young Lady will be missed next season as the team moves forward from four seasons of Newman.
Yes, Newman is the All-Time scoring leader in Carroll County High School Soccer history and she passed a very impressive former Cavalier star 🌟 to take that title in Adrienne Harris. But the more one learns about the accomplishments of Newman during her time here its easy to see 👀 that Soccer is part of the story.
Later today I will have the honor of introducing Newman to the crowd in the pregame ceremony for the final time. The sky truly is the limit for this young Lady 👩, whether she ever steps on a Soccer Pitch again.
The team is seeded eighth in large part because three matches were never able to get played. Points lost because of this might have been an answered prayer 🙏 because it gave our Queen 👸of the Soccer Pitch one more last dance on The Hill.
As Marion Harris stated at the end of his part of this story – folks have one more last chance to witness the grace of Newman and the determination of Alderman a final time together ❤ tonight at 6pm!
