Visiting Radford hit the floor running in the Junior Varsity match Tuesday night on The Hill. By the time Carroll County caught its breath they were trailing 21-9 in the opening set but rallied back for a come from behind 2-1 ( 16-25, 25-21, 15-10) Three Rivers District victory.
The rally actually started late in the opening set as Carroll County outscored Radford 7-4 down the stretch. Aaliyah Hampton scored two Kills, Hayden Heflin added one to go along with Aces from both Paige Ogle and Annabelle Short, closing out the 25-16 setback on a strong 💪 note.
The key 🔑 moment in the match occurred in the second set when an Ogle Kill put Carroll County ahead 13-8. Radford proceeded to go on an 8-0 run to retake the lead 16-13. It would have been easy for the home team to accept defeat and begin to look ahead to Thursday night at Martinsville High School.
Instead, Carroll County closed out on a 12-5 run 🏃♂️ sparked first by three straight Kills (Heflin 2, Ogle 1) and then Morgan Osborne serving at 21-21, closing her run with a Bullet Ace to even the night 25-21.
In the closeout set it was Scarlett Dalton with four straight points at the line to give CCHS a 7-2 lead in the chase to 15. The teams finished up 8-8 and Carroll County won 🏆15-10 !
The Lady Cavaliers will not return to The Hill for exactly four weeks now but return to action 🎬 Thursday night at Martinsville.
