We had a chance to see Vanderbilt University in person during our trip over to Paris, France 🇫🇷 and I can tell you that the Commodores are legit.

Furman is a 39.5 point underdog today as they play in their second straight road game against a SEC team. The night will end in a loss but its a great opportunity for the 11 Freshman and Sophomores on the Paladins to play on a big stage.

Ervin enters the game early and immediately recorded a partial block, missed a field goal but followed with nailing a 3-pointer !

Vanderbilt 10-6 at the 5:00 minute TO.

Great start for the visitors !

End of 1st – Furman trails 21-13 but our Lady 👩 Cavalier drilled a trio of 3-pointers for 9 points. Throw in a couple of rebounds and a block !! Great opening 10 minutes 👏

Media TO – Vanderbilt 31-17 (4:32-2)

Heading into the Locker room, Vanderbilt leads 43-22. Strong performance for Miss Ervin !!

Furman will return home 🏡 to host Georgia State on Thursday night 🌙.

Second half breakdown to follow…

Vanderbilt has turned up the HEAT in the 3rd quarter with both the press and trapping. Alyssa enters in at 6:57 mark..

17-5 spurt in the opening 5:12, Media TO at 4:48 with the score 60-27.

End of 3rd – Vandy 71-32..

Ervin added two points on a sweet turnaround jumper and collected a third personal foul that she clearly didn’t agree with the call. 11 points on the night 🌙,

Off to the final quarter –

Alyssa entered the quarter at 7:00 and played until 1:32 remained. She netted five more points in 26 seconds with a floater and a fourth 3-pointer.

Final : Vanderbilt 96, Furman 48 but our Lady 👩 Cavalier had herself a night 🌙

While the Athletic schedules are blank, it is the starting point for the High School teams. Howard Mayo, Anthony Barnes, Joi Ogle, West Long and the new Girls Wrestling Coach will lead our Varsity teams. Ryan Phillips and Halie Cushman will coach up our Junior Varsity teams and Mrs Gravley leads our Cheerleaders.

Today, they can all hold their actual tryouts and soon we will have rosters to go with the coaches. Best of Luck to each Student who is set to compete for a roster spot !!!

Friday Night at Southwest Virginia Community College, Bryce Smoot entered the game and just twelve seconds later out former Cavalier scored his first ( and later his second) College Basketball basket 🏀🧺.

Time to go to the dentist office 🏢 so its a good time to say our normal goodbye : Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌🙏
