Coach McKenzie was pleased to note πŸ“ that while his group didn’t win a match, they did win eight games against the talented group !

Ethan Richardson won his Singles match to open the Boys contest but it would turn out to be the lone point scored.

Every sport that Carroll County competes in has a rival that can be used as a measuring stick. In Tennis 🎾, its Glenvar and Floyd County.

Some nights πŸŒ™ everything just falls perfectly in place for a team and for the Burcham Bunch it tends to happen quite frequently. CCHS defeats visiting Grayson County 19-0 after a 12 run opening inning.

Much has been written this season about just how cohesive the Carroll County High School Varsity Baseball team is under first year Head Coach Casey Burcham. On game nite, the Cavaliers take turns on who delivers when its needed but Thursday night was different as the Cavaliers defeated Grayson County 19-0 in five innings.

The only way to describe the latest victory is by labeling it the ultimate team victory. The 19 runs scored were spread across 9 Cavaliers and the 16 RBIS were divided by 9 players. The 16 hits ? 11 members of the roster participated in that effort.

The five innings of shut out ball was divided by three different pitchers that Burcham sent out to the mound.

” IΒ  thought our approach at the plate was phenomenal through the first few innings of the game,” said Coach Burcham. ” We put the ball in play hard tonight, and did a great job when we were in 2 strike situations. Peyton, Wyatt, and Reid all threw the tonight with confidence and did a great job of pounding the strike zone.Really an overall complete game by the guys tonight,” added Burcham.

Cage Nicholson led the hit parade with 3 base knocks and Dalton Busick had the pleasure of delivering a Grand Slam in one of the big innings. But as the Head Coach said, it was a total team effort.

The one loss Cavaliers will travel over to Floyd County on Saturday afternoon to face the Buffalo πŸƒ. The Nester Nine JV team also remained once beaten, heading over to Independence and defeating the Blue Devils by a 10-0 score.

Both teams are enjoying the fruits of the efforts being put forth as we head down the home stretch of the regular season.

Call πŸ“ž this one the story about Scott Van Pelt, Ronnie Collins and OneofUs.Care ! Van Pelt calls his opening five minutes the Best Thing I Saw Today and Thanks to Mr Collins I can share the story of the Legend of Mr Christian Hernandez !!!

Christian Hernandez did everything but sell popcorn 🍿 at Tommy Thompson Field as Carroll County High Varsity defeated Floyd County 4-1 Thursday night.

The Senior keeper had already played the game of his High School career in leading the Cavaliers to a much needed Three Rivers District victory. Then in the closing minutes Hernandez perfectly defended not one but two Penalty Kicks rewarded to the Buffalo squad.

If you see Hernandez πŸ‘€ on The Hill tomorrow, make sure to tell him, I heard about what you did on the Pitch !!!!

Thank You Ronnie Collins for capturing both the pic and the video !!! Harper Parnell in front of Christian Hernandez.
