Carroll County High School 🏫 just finished up completing in the High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT) for the first time !

Mixing in some sightseeing with the Academics down in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend.

Anytime you can experience something on a National stage for the first time its going to be memorable and was certainly the case for a group of Cavaliers over the weekend. CCHS Graduation πŸŽ“ was taking place back home at the same time so the underclassmen carried the banner for Shannon Dalton and Company.

A second link, where if you scroll down you will find the details of Carroll County High School 🏫.

” This was an amazing experience for all of us, kids and adults alike, ”  said Shannon Dalton. ” We weren’t sure what to expect when in our very first round we had to play the team that is now leading the entire tournament (hence the score…). We could not beat them to any questions at all.”

As the Cavaliers became more comfortable in their surroundings they found more success.

” But things got better as the day went on and today we were 2-1, for the 4-6 overall record.”

All of this took place under the watchful eye and guidance of Paxton Berrier, with Dalton in the co-pilot seat. The Cavaliers were supported by Seth & Kristy Newman along with Trenton’s younger Sister, Maci.

Also making the journey was Thomas Talbert in support of Jake as well as Brad Dalton in support of his family πŸ‘ͺ.

When the group was not competing, the mixed in some fun and managed to make some new memories. By the end, the group was ready to return to The Hill.

” We’re all really done with heights and elevators and city street walking for at least a few days!” added Dalton. ” Until the next time.”

  Carroll County High School 🏫 continues to excel in regards to Academics and for a few days it was on Full Display on a National stage!

Thank You Paxton Berrier for your time, energy and encouragement for our Youth!

It’s worth noting that two reigning champs of NAQT nationals (small school and last year’s winner of this event) played this morning for the finals at 5-4, only one win more than us for a reigning champ team. Luck and knowledge were really on our side!

Now that Graduation πŸŽ“ is behind us, let’s take a look πŸ‘€ ahead to the Week that awaits the Cavalier Athletic teams in Regional play β–ΆοΈ

The weather cooperated and the Day that was 12 years in the making hit the mark.

Monday morning πŸŒ„ in Roanoke at Cave Spring High School is where Christy Shupe and her Boys Tennis 🎾 team will compete in the opening round of the Regional tournament.

Wednesday evening at Bassett High School 🏫 is where Forrest Johnson and Jeremy Puckett will coach up the Boys Soccer ⚽️ team in a play-in match versus the Bengals.

Thursday evening at William Byrd High School is where the Lady πŸ‘© Cavaliers Soccer team will play its play-in match against WBHS.

*** The Thursday night match is the only one that day in regards to Soccer, allowing Cavalier fans the opportunity to watch both teams if they would like.

Friday night πŸŒ™ on The Hill, Carroll County High School will host a quarter-final Baseball ⚾️ game at Bill Worrell Field. The opponent will be determined by the 7 vs 10 play-in game.

Boys πŸ‘¦ and Girls Track πŸ‘£ and Field teams are heading to Christiansburg High School for the Regional meet on Saturday morning, May 31st. This gives the rest of the Student Athletes one more opportunity to join the duo of Brendan Farris and Corrie Delp in Lynchburg on the following weekend.

  Both of our Tennis 🎾 teams are awaiting the information for the Singles and Doubles invites to that portion of the Regional event.

Allen Worrell  and The Carroll News will have plenty of coverage for the Varsity Baseball team as make their bid for a spot in the State Tournament over the coming days and hopefully weeks!

We will do our best to keep up with the rest of the teams as they continue to represent the Cavaliers !

Have yourself a Blessed Sunday !
