First things First, I want to say Thank You to Mr Thompson and Mr DeHaven for their trust in me to set at the scorers table for tonight’s double header. While I do a great deal of announcing other places, I am the emergency fill-in for Hoops.
Always fun to do and I give it my Best Shot. With that said, let’s get to the victory that moves the team to a season high winning percentage of .750!!
Head Coach Jason Stockner took the time to check-in after the victory…
” Good win tonight against an improved Radford team. We had balanced scoring with 4 players in double figures and 9 players scoring overall. Our defense continues to create turnovers leading to easy baskets. We really liked how the guys responded after the timeouts in the second & third quarters. Looking forward to our afternoon tip against Galax on Saturday.”
Let’s take a closer look at the scoring of the 63 points. Coach mentioned four players in double figures, here’s the definition of balanced scoring :
Hayden Jackson – 15 points
Blake Reed – 12 points
Dane Leonard – 12 points
Colton Gravley – 12 points
Another piece of way cool news is that both of the 8th grade additions, Will Motley and Rowdee Payne, both netted their initial Junior Varsity basket 🧺.
16-8 was the first quarter score with Jackson and Leonard taking turns on the first seven points.
14-7 was the breakdown in the second quarter as the team continued their recent play of next man in.
Gravley dropped 10 of his twelve in the third quarter as the Cavaliers kept Radford in the rear view mirror.
Carroll County never let the Bobcats get back in the game, leading to a comfortable 19 point victory over Radford.
The team will have a short turnaround as they welcome Galax to The Hill for a Saturday afternoon matinee. 9-3 and looking forward to the next opportunity to open up for the Varsity squad.
