Carroll County Middle School 🏫 Football is hosting the Radford Bobcats tonight at 5:30 pm.

Great opening as the Middle School Chorus packed themselves into the Press Box and performed the National Anthem !

Radford received the opening kickoff and marched down the field to take an early 8-0 lead..

Carroll County has converted twice for first downs on their opening drive!

Once on 4th and 1 and then again on 3rd down. Two more conversions have the team knocking on the door 🚪 of the Red Zone as the 1st quarter ends.

Mr. Edmonds is behind the 🎤 and doing a tremendous job 👏

2nd quarter opens with CC facing a 4th and 16 from the Radford 31. With the help of a face mask penalty CC records a fifth First Down on their opening drive.

Great opening drive ends on a turnover on downs at 4:13. CC picks up five first downs and controlled the ball for over 9 minutes !

Not sure if any other opponent will feature the vertical passing game that Radford has.

Worth repeating, Radford offense looks very advanced for Middle School football. CC makes a great stop ✋ on defense but play nullified by horse collar flag.

Radford punches it in on the next play, 8 yard TD (0:29). Two point conversation makes it 28-0.

CC back on offense, 1st and 10 from their own 46 (0:28.6).
