Lance Burnett is having himself quite the Spring while being one of the Senior team leaders on Coach DeHaven’s Baseball βΎοΈ team here at Carroll County High School. The next stop for Lance will be the College campus at New River Community College in Dublin, Virginia.
Lance is pictured here with both of his parents and Coach DeHaven as well as is future Coach, Wes Adcock.
The Burnett family will enjoy the shortest of the commutes as the Muskies play just 31 miles away from CCHS.
Coach Adcock will be getting not only a gifted Athlete with a strong pitching arm but a true Student Athlete that will be looking to position himself for years 3 & 4 after his time at NRCC
Here is a photo π· of Lance alongside his fellow Cavalier Seniors and their Head Coach, taken from last night’s Senior celebration.

His proud Father π¨ penned a great description of the journey leading up to today and I encourage people to find that when they can.
Congratulations πππ to Lance Burnett and his entire family πͺ !
Jabin and his Family πͺ will become quite familiar with the 102 mile trek over the next two years. Our current record holder for Tennis πΎ wins (63 prior to their matches today) is set to become a Flying Eagle.
Talley started playing Tennis at a very early age and as best we can tell, is about to become the first Cavalier player to reach the collegiate level.
Jabin still has plenty of work left to do as both our Top Singles player and Top Doubles player alongside Ethan Richardson. The pair advanced all the way to the Elite Eight in the post season last year and look to build on that impressive run.
Family πͺ is a key part of the Talley success story. Both his Father and one of his Grandfathers are involved with the coaching of the Carroll County program. The close knit support spills over to the entire immediate family and they are with him every step πΆββοΈ of the way !
Coach Joseph Trivette handles both the Men’s and Women’s programs and is looking forward to adding the efforts of the young man π¨ that his Coach calls the “Baby Faced Assassin”.
Congratulations πππ to Jabin and his ever so loving entourage !
Leath is wrapping up her Senior season in style, having just passed Sydney Nester on the All-Time wins list for Softball. Only ten strikeouts separate her and Nester on the top of that list heading into the contest versus Pulaski County Monday night.
Leath will be taking her game 33 miles South to the town of Dobson, North Carolina. Surry Community College is a DIII NJCAA program coached by Blaine Bullington. His Knights reached the #2 spot in the National ranking earlier this season.
Leath will join former Lady Cavs Lauren Alley and Macie Adkins as recent graduates π to move on from Coach Rick Nester’s program to playing at the Collegiate level.
Here is Emma with her parents and her two High School π« Coaches along with her Coach in waiting.
Anytime my paths cross with Mr. Craig Worrell I consider it a great day. Craig was at the JV Baseball βΎοΈ game in Radford and offered to share a couple of his pics from his camera !
Photo #1 has starting pitcher Colby Goad in full stride. Goad pitched four innings before turning the ball over to Wyatt Ogle. The duo combined to toss a six inning one hitter and their defense played flawlessly behind them in the 11-0 victory.
In photo π· #2 you see Blake Reed charging home in the first inning with Bryce Cochran rounding third right behind him.
Carroll County scored five runs πββοΈ in the Top of the 1st inning to set the tone for the contest. Cochran scored two runs as did Dane Leonard and Grady Quesenberry to lead the attack for Head Coach Steve Combs.
Eli Worrell collected two hits and Reed added the mercy rule kicking in with his second hit being a 2 RBI single.
Coach Combs was able to get an at bat for a number of his reserves down the stretch as the team continues to roll through the competition.
Once again, thank you to Shane Reed for being my tour guide and to Craig Worrell π for giving me a reason to create another story about the juggernaut that is Junior Varsity Baseball βΎοΈ!
