Teaser before the story :

Head Coach Adam Nester will send in some games notes 📝 about his third straight shutout to start the season. Until then, I wanted to acknowledge his efforts tonight. Nester is in his first season trying hard to replace Local Legend, Steve Combs.

  Three games in and three shutouts posted ! The final score was 26-0 and we are looking forward to hearing all about it later !

Waldo Bosch is here from South Africa 🇿🇦 and plays Tennis 🎾 for Columbia College in the #1 spot.

Bosch defeated Talley in straight sets but our CCHS 🎓👨‍🎓 pushed Bosch to the point where the Columbia College coach checked on the availability of Talley after his time at the Community College !!

  The future holds opportunity for young Tally and we are excited about the journey!

Carroll County JV opened up the double header with a convincing 7-0 victory and the Varsity team followed up with a 5-0 triumph on a less than warm night at Galax High School.

Callie Harris continues to enjoy playing for her Big Sis, Head Coach Adrienne Harris. The youngest Harris daughter found the back of the net four times across the eighty minutes. One of the goals came by way of an early Penalty Kick, one on a play where the goal keeper was shaken up and the final two in the more traditional manner.

Savannah Swecker also put the biscuit in the basket 🧺 for the fast starting Varsity squad that now stands at 3-0-0  in the debut season for Coach Harris. Alisia Torres Lopez assisted on the Swecker goal.

    The goal totals for the start of the season is 10-0 with little Sis accounting for seven of the goals. The entire team is gaining confidence on the offensive side of the field. Both Karmen Smith and Ahliyah Riffey added assists tonight as the aggressive team play is paying immediate dividends.

” Callie has really stepped up to the plate this season,” said Coach Harris.”  She is moving more into a goal scoring role.”

Now that we have talked a bit about the ten goals, let’s switch to the other side of the Pitch. Zero goals allowed across 240 minutes of play comes from a combination of tough defense and flawless goal attending. Alexis Sheffey continues to maintain a clean scoring sheet at keeper with a huge assist going to the defensive unit playing in front of her.

  On the Junior Varsity side, six different Lady Cavaliers found the back of the net as the team scored for the first time this season. Carroll County (1-2) played two tough games to open the season and the Galax match-up came at a perfect time for the Coach and her crew. Seven goals can do wonders for the confidence of a young squad. Eva Ramirez lead the way with her first two goals on the season.

Carroll County continues its stretch of away games on April 2nd when the Lady Cavaliers travel to the Highlands to face Alleghany High School. The team will play its first seven contests away from The Hill due to some improvements being made to Tommy Thompson Field.
