Fort Chiswell – Carroll County punched their ticket 🎟 to the Championship game of the First Community Bank Christmas Tournament, cruising to a 54-27 victory over Radford Saturday afternoon.
The Cavaliers will find Pulaski County waiting for them on Monday afternoon at 2:15 pm.
After surrendering the games first point CCHS proceeded to go on a 10-0 run 🏃♂️. Radford answered back with the final six and the frame ended 10-7.
The Bobcats had no hope of bouncing back from the next RUN though as the Cavaliers applied pressure from beginning to end over the next seven clock minutes.
Basketball, unlike Bowling 🎳 where a red hot player can toss 12 straight Strikes, has no “perfect game”. But the Cavaliers drove to the outskirts of Perfectionville (Yes, just made that up).
Landon Kinder opened the quarter with the first of 11 Cavalier baskets 🧺 beginning what would turn into an astonishing 22-2 run 🏃♂️. Radford would eventually add a 3-pointer just before the half to pull within 34-12 but it was not going to change the outcome.
Offensively, Dane Leonard poured in 18 points and Hayden Jackson added 12 points but this game was all about the Cavs defense. End to End, swarming / ball hawking defense. All 15 Cavaliers played multiple minutes and nine dented the scorebook for Head Coach Jason Stockner.
” Very good win this afternoon! After missing our first four or five shots from close we started converting our shots and started building our lead,” Stockner. ” Our defense today was tremendous and it lead to several easy baskets. Everyone played very hard. We need to continue that and clean up some of our execution to continue this success.”
Pulaski County – Carroll County III will take place on Monday afternoon and this time there will be hardware 🏆for the winner.
Carroll County… 10 – 24 – 20 – 0 — 54
Radford High….. 7 – 5 – 9 – 6 — 27
