It’s time to take a Cartoon style look at the Junior Varsity game between our Carroll County Cavaliers JV (38) and the visiting Cougars of Alleghany (45)

Carroll County JV Boys played their final 🏡🏠🏡 Basketball 🏀 game last night and the scoreboard will tell you that Alleghany defeated our Cavaliers 45-38.

Here is the Line Score :

Alleghany HS.       12-8-7-18= 45

Carroll County       8-8-9-13 = 38

CCHS – Reed 11, Gravley 10, Jackson 9, Rakes 4, Kinder 2, Lark 2 (38)

______________________________________

Here are the thoughts from Head Coach Jason Stockner :

The first thing worth noting is that Blake ( Goofy) Reed pulled the Cavaliers within 40-38 with 0:31.4 remaining in the game.

Just as was the case in the Varsity game when Alleghany made two 3-pointers late to make the game appear closer but reducing the lead from 23 to 17, AHS closed out the scoring by going five of six from the free throw line. This was a one possession game until the final seconds.

Next note 📝 is that the team was once again playing without Thor and his Hammer 🔨 as he is still recovering from his ankle injury.

Goofy led the Cavaliers in scoring and was joined in double figures by Colton ” Road Runner ” Gravley with 10 points.

Next up in regards to scoring was Hayden ” Inspector Gadget ” Jackson with nine points.

Chanson Rakes scored four points and the character that comes to mind is the Pink Panther. A slinder person that is just that cool.

Both Landon Kinder and Eli Lark were Sophomore players that scored two points to round out the scoring. Lark strikes me as a tough young man so his match would be Bam- Bam

That leaves us Landon and here’s the answer…

Kinder gers to be both a Cartoon Character and a Super Hero. One that can do whatever it takes and can be big when needed and small when needed.

After the Varsity game ended I was able to share a brotherly moment with Cody and Conner Reece. I loved the fact that Conner said that Cody was a great Big Brother 💘. At that point I asked Cody his thoughts on his little brother and he replied with

Speaking of Big Brothers and Little Brothers, don’t forget that Judah Collins and Samuel Collins are part of this group. I wonder if Judah ever wrestles with his Big Brother ???

The snow ❄ is starting to fall here and its my hope that the Junior Varsity team gets one more opportunity to play ball this year. The weather will be the deciding factor in regards to Thursday night at Radford.

Either way, its been fun to try and shine some light on a pair of Coaches and a group of players over the past few months. It was my intention to make this team feel appreciated 🙏 and I hope that I accomplished this….
