Hoping that someone π might send one in from the Junior Varsity team as well.
It will be hard to imagine that Cindy Edwards and her Lady Cavaliers will face a more experienced team than Patrick County as the Lady Cougars came to The Hill with a line-up that included eight Seniors and five Juniors.
Patrick County rode their experience to a 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 26-24) Three Rivers District victory over Carroll County Thursday night in the Cavaliers gym at CCHS.
The Lady Cavaliers (2-1,0-1) made a stand in each of the three sets but each time the visitors were able to answer the run. In the opening set PCHS led 22-13 before the Lady Cavaliers strung together four straight points, highlighted by a perfectly timed block from the duo Corrie Delp and Arizona Thompson. Ali Wright cut the deficit to 23-18 with a loud Kill before the visitors closed out the set.
The second set was back and forth as neither team strung together more than three straight points. Brooke Webb landed a Kill to pull Carroll County to within 21-19. Once again, Patrick County was able to regroup, closing out the set with a 25-20 victory.
In the closing set the teams were tied at 10, 11 and 14 before Patrick County explored for an 8-2 run. Trailing 22-16 and on the brink of their night ending, Carroll County made one final stand. Maddie Hyatt was at the service line for the 6-0 run that tied the set at 22. Wright connected twice for Huge finishes of great sets as the team looked to force a fourth set.
Wright tied the set again at 23-23 before the Lady Cougars closed out the night in extras, 26-24
Carroll County High School will compete all day Saturday over in Glade Springs at Patrick County High School. The annual Jamboree style event takes place beginning at 9:00 am with the Lady Cavaliers opening their day at 11am.
Nikki Heflin led her Junior Varsity team for the first time on the home court to begin the night. Aubrey Hanshaw capped a 3-0 run with a Kill to give CCHS an 11-10 lead in the opener. Later, Aaliyah Hampton landed an Ace to get Carroll County within 24-19 before the visitors won 25-19.
In the second set, another Ace from Hampton pulled Carroll County to within one at 13-12. At that point PCHS strung together the longest run of the night, 10 straight and closed out the match, 25-13.
“”The JV girls’ volleyball team played a great game; even though we didnβt win, we saw significant improvement ” said Coach Heflin. ” Iβm so proud of the hard work they have put in and how they played tonight!β

The Junior Varsity team will return to action π¬ Monday night π on The Hill when it will be Cavalier versus Cavalier as Lord Botetourt visits The Hill.
