Monday Night Football – Middle School 🏫 style… Live in Galax

Galax – Beautiful evening for Football and the game vs Galax has kicked off at 6:28 pm.

Will try to create a Post 📫for as long as I can with the hopes of filling it in later.

Galax has received the kickoff, beginning the contest on offense. Worth noting that Carroll County is once again well represented in the stands !

Galax moved the ball down the field to start but the CC defense stiffened to force a turnover by downs just outside the Red Zone !

Carroll County has moved the sticks to start the drive. Huge gain on the QB keeper has the team knocking on the door 🚪 on their first possession. Carroll County is now inside the Red Zone!! END of the 1st QUARTER, 0-0..

2nd quarter – CC on the Galax 5 yard line….

4th down play and the Maroon Tide come up with the stop ✋ at the 4-yard line. Turnover on Downs…

Galax – starting at their own 4 and CC comes up with two big stops ! 4th and inches – Galax moves the chains ⛓. Once again Cavs D plays big on 1st and 2nd down, 3rd and long…Tackle for loss on 3rd, Galax punts from own 8 yard line.

2:22 – CC 1st and 10 from Galax 25. The clock ⏰ will be an extra obstacle for CC.

Packed stands for our 11

Cavs facing 4th and 8 now in the final minute of the opening half… 23 yard TD Pass !!!!!!!! PAT pending…. (0:41)

Conversion comes up short but Cavs lead 6-0….

At the Half….

Graham proved to be a tough opponent for Galax last week so both sides have to be encouraged by the opening half of play.

7:20 – 2nd half kickoff returned by Carroll County to their 49.

Cavs pick up to two quick first downs and are once again knocking on the door 🚪. Tempature continues to drop as nightfall approaches.

Flag 🏳slows down the drive a bit.

Not so fast young man, Highlight reel pass play leads to a 34 yard TD play (3:36). Two point conversion comes up just short, CC 12-0.

Back to the TD pass play – the indented receiver was juggling the ball and then it flew forward to the Cavalier trailing the play for the TD !

Galax has the ball now near midfield.

Beth Bouldin is on our sideline, helping with our little production while I am on the Galax sideline to capture our fans

Some of Beth’s handiwork !

On 2 and 19, Galax breaks a long run down our 8 yard line and on 1st and Goal the Maroon Tide score on a TD pass and convert the 2-point conversion.

0:48.1 (3) – Carroll County 12, Galax 8

4th Quarter – Final 8:00 minutes

5:55 – on the Clock ⏰ and Galax forces a fumble and returns it for a TD. Our QB shaken up on the play. 🙏.

Galax is setting up for the 2-point conversion – Pass complete, Galax leads 16-12.

Flag on the play – Galax kickoff coming from their 25. Sensational return from our #23 would of had us at the Galax 11 but a penalty brings it all back. 1st and 10, own 33.

Galax forces another fumble and scores a TD but its called back on a Penalty.

4:20 remains – Galax on the CCHS 30, Cavs need a defensive stop ✋!

Beth with the much needed info !

No roster and No announcer makes this a bit of a challenge…

Play of the Game – 4th and 1 for Galax with 2:55….First Down, Maroon Tide. That might seal the deal.

1st and Goal from the 6… Nightfall is here.

2:08 – Galax punches it in, score 22-12. PAT Kick turns into a 2-point pass play. Now 24-12.

Cavs will get one more opportunity now with 2:07 left.

55 yard kick return shows that the Cavs won’t go quietly. 1st and 10 from Galax 30 (1:52). Pretty sure that was #23 on the great return (Josiah).

Carroll County with a third fumble but this time we recover it. 2 & 17

Final Horn 🎷 – 8:11 pm.

Cavs played tough, falling 24-12. Plenty of effort 👏 and Fan support !
