When you criss cross a wide variety of High School 🏫 Sports in the manner that I do, you never find oneself in the exact same spot.
Tonight at 7:05, Carroll County High School Girls 👧 Varsity Basketball 🏀 team took the court against a 9-3 Alleghany squad.
Lin’s work schedule doesn’t always allow her to sit in the Bleachers with me. She was with me tonight and asked me about this years team I had to smile.
Well, I pointed at Callie Harris and said you know Marion and Shelia. Next up I point out CC Mitchell and then to where Ron Cochran and Brandi Cochran Mitchell are sitting. Then its Laynie-Jo Leonard and I point over to Velvet and her family 👪. This went on until the roster was completed.
I never found Mrs Coleman in my search but I think you should have an idea 💡of the thought process. I can’t remember another time when I was at a game where I knew all of the people who were living and dying with every possession.
Tonight, the Lady 👩 Cavaliers made their Coach smile and their Parents even more proud, if that’s possible.
CC Mitchell found the bottom of the net three times from behind the 3-point line and looked very comfortable launching the shots.
Madison Coleman played with I like to call Instant Energy. Callie Harris looked fearless in her attempts to drive to the hoop. Laynie-Jo Leonard and Raylee Goins played their hearts 💕 out and I could feel their Mother’s smiling.
Dad’s were part of the equation as well. Looking around and seeing 👀 Kevin Burress, Chris Leonard, Mr Goins. They were all there trying hard to will their Daughters to a victory.
I will eventually sit down and write ✍ an actual Game Story describing the 54-45 setback. CCHS faced this same Cougar team six days ago and struggled to stay in the contest.
The team will get back at it on Monday night 🌙 when Magna Vista visits The Hill. We won’t know how the next game will play out or the one after that but for an evening there was a great deal of people saying – That’s My Little Girl out there!
Still to come – Varsity gamer, Junior Varsity gamer and a prelude of Saturday when Galax visits.
