Carroll County High School 🏫 Junior Varsity Volleyball team fell in straight sets (25-13, 25-20) Thursday night but the Lady 👩 Cavaliers fought until the very end and the match included a Kodak moment between Clara DeHaven and Paisley Snider. Sadly, I was so moved by the gesture that I couldn’t take the photo.
DeHaven arrived at Radford feeling under the weather which meant that Head Coach Jason Petty would have to have one of his other players dawn the white jersey that belongs to the Libero.
The Libero jersey and matching responsibilities are different from the play of the other five spots on the court and DeHaven held down the spot throughout the season.
There was Snider wearing a white #19 jersey trying to soak it all in. Then in a moment that I won’t forget anytime soon, DeHaven is standing beside her offering words of encouragement to her teammate and the moment ended with the two players sharing a brief hug. Priceless memory to close out the season and if anyone else captured that, Please send it to me.
In the opening set, Aaliyah Hampton finished off a set from Leigha Harrad for a Kill that pulled CCHS to within 11-8 but that was as close as the Lady Cavaliers would get in the 25-13 set back.
In the second set Carroll County was able to keep it closer and led 16-14 Midway through before the Bobcats exploded with a 9-0 run 🏃♂️ to make it 23-16.
CCHS tried to answer back and did pull to within 24-20 after a service Ace from Addilynn Stanley. The Bobcats closed out the set, match and season for the Lady 👩 Cavaliers with the final point.
This concludes the coverage for the Junior Varsity Volleyball 🏐 team so the final piece of business is to say Thank You to Coach Petty, Assistant Coach Nikki Heflin and Volunteer 🙋♀️ Coach Skyler Petty.
Thank you to the 17 young ladies that became 15 after both Heidi Painter and Ellie Heflin were called up to Varsity.
Kudos to the Parents for showing up each night and cheering 👏 on the efforts of their Lady Cavalier !
