The next 72 hours will present Anthony Barnes and his 15-0 (4-0) Cavaliers the opportunity to create some space between them and the other six teams in the Three Rivers District standings. Both second place Glenvar (5-1) and seventh place James River (0-5) come to town.
At the end of the week Carroll County will have completed the first half of the District schedule and will either be sitting atop the standings or looking up at Glenvar as the Highlanders have already played Patrick County for the second time.
Both Glenvar and the Cavaliers defeated Floyd County (5-2) with the Highlanders winning 61-59 at home while CCHS prevailed 78-66 under the mounted Buffalo 🐃.
The most recent comparison is that both teams just made their annual trek down to Alleghany High School (3-2). The Cougars prevailed 58-55 over Glenvar eight days ago and on Monday night CCHS closed out a back and forth game with a 9-2 run 🏃♂️ in a 72-65 victory.
While it has been fun to watch the 15 straight wins to open the season, tonight has so much more riding on it, outside of victory #16. A home win tonight gives Carroll County a two game lead ➕ the tiebreaker against the entire league.
Friday night 🌙 should be a fun night as the Hall of Fame ceremony will take place between the Junior Varsity and Varsity games against James River. But if you are going to look at Friday night as dessert 🍨, then Wednesday night is about eating your vegetables.
Come out to the Gym tonight and take in #1 versus #2 hoops. If you do, make sure that you are in your seat 💺 at 5:30 as your 10-4 Junior Varsity team laces them up first. They will be facing a tough 1 loss team and can use the support…
