Thursday night 🌙 at Pulaski County High School 🏫 is the opening match of the regular season for Veteran Head Coach Cindy Edwards and her 2025 – 2026 Lady Cavaliers.
The graphics shown above are incredibly well done. Not sure who gets the credit for the work but its Well Done!
Many of the games are available on the Network, even more on Facebook through the efforts of the Harris family 👪. Athletic Director Kevin DeHaven has a daughter on the team as does Travis Osborne, both of these Men are proud Dads 👨 who have the ability to share information.
We have Allen Worrell at the Carroll News willing to create space for coverage and we have folks in the Gym taking Top Shelf photos all the time. Add in the fact that we have dedicated Coaches and hard working Student Athletes giving their best efforts 👏….
The possibilities are endless, just takes some connecting of the dots.
On the Boys side, we have Ethan Richardson in the Top Spot and Davis Reitzel as his Assistant Coach.
This pairing gives us Richardson vs Richardson…
Having Reitzel on the Bench is our equivalent of a Cash 💸 grab as this young Man 👨 was quite possibly the most popular Student Athlete on The Hill in recent years, The fact that they are former teammates and lifelong friends will lead to chemistry ⚗ on the bench.
Coaching the Girls 👧 Staff simply has to be Kaylee Easter. Easter would Coach to win and her understanding of the game is legendary n The Hill. She would get the best out of her players, possibly even through intimidating them.
Her Assistant Coach would have to be fellow Basketball / Softball star 🌟, Lauren Alley. Alley would be the perfect candidate for someone who can get Brandi Cochran Mitchell in game mode.
The match-up between Howard Mayo and Anthony Barnes would be something for a Time Capsule.
Jason Stockner versus Kris Richardson would require both long time friends to be miked up…
Both Howard Mayo and Anthony Barnes will return to their spots atop the Girls and Boys Basketball programs, respectively but there have been a number of changes this off season.
Kris Richardson has crossed the isle, going from the #2 spot on the Boys side over to filling the spot vacated by the passing of the late, Jeff Tobler. The future of Girls Middle School Basketball is in the hands ✋of the Basketball Whisperer!
Marc Motley is returning to the stands after one season of Coaching the Middle School Boys. This will give our friend, Bill Gallimore, someone else to visit with on Basketball game nights.
Jason Stockner now sits in the Co-Pilot seat previously occupied by Richardson. The fact that Stockner and Richardson are life long friends will add to the good natured ribbing that is bound to take place between the two.
Ryan Largen is set to remain part of the program and will assist the new Boys Junior Varsity Coach, Ryan Phillips. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read that story yet, please do.
Jabin Talley, Ryan Phillips and Cody Reece.
Barnes has added a pair of Assistant Coaches in Jabin Talley (Class of 2024) and Cody Reece (2025). Both of the former Cavaliers are entering this process with their eyes 👀 wide open and feel that they will have an impact on the coming season.
Kayla Nester is set to return to work alongside Coach Mayo, once she has finished up with the Volleyball 🏐 season in which she is helping Head Coach Cindy Edwards.
Brandi Cochran Mitchell is still playing a major role in things, including running the AAU portion of Cavalier Basketball.
Boys Middle School will have Coach Brown at the helm and while I haven’t met him yet, a number of people are excited about his role in things.
After Richardson would note that Barnes needed Stockner, Talley and Reece to replace him, we have an opportunity of a lifetime in front of us.
The game of games….
Howard Mayo at Center, Kris Richardson at the 4, Brandi at the 3, Nester at the 2 ( I need to confirm with Coach Mayo about how many of the Ladies that teamed up to Coach JV are returning) to finish up the starting five.
For the other side, Barnes playing the Post, Stockner the 4, Reece at Small forward with Ryan, Ryan and Jabin playing the 💂♂️💂♀️💂♂️ spots.
How many career Scoring points would be on display ? You fill out the event with Meet the Cavaliers and then you get Greg Bolen and Mr Bunn to be the referees
The fun in writing ✍ a story that is designed for this site only, comes in the form of creativity. I will say this though, I would buy a ticket 🎟 to that game ! Even if it was played in slow 🐌 motion…
Not to be confused with an Alumni Game but an actual Staff versus Staff 5 on 5…
Quick update from Coach Mayo – he is excited about having both Coach Payne and Coach Lineberry back in the fold this season !!
