7 x 3’s!!!!
Rural Retreat – Carroll County Middle School sank 11 shots from deep in their 49-16 road victory over Rural Retreat Tuesday night 🌙.
Let that sink in – 11 3-pointers and then add that Grant Reed (21 points) made seven of the 11. Not sure if records are kept at the Middle School level but if they are, its a safe bet that 7 3’s in a game doesn’t happen very often.
Remington Millaway and Sam Johnson didn’t want to have Reed be the only red hot shooter. Both Cavaliers finished with 6 points on two deep balls.
“Been talking to our guys about being halfway through the season and how we should be peaking and I think tonight showed just that, ” said Head Coach Darian Brown. “We have eight games left and I think if we shoot the way we did tonight we have a chance to go 8-0. I knew it was only a matter of time Before shots started to fall. These kids work hard every day and show up in the mornings with Coach Reitzel to shoot before school. I think tonight showed that their hard work is paying off and if you continue to show up, it can’t be denied. I told these guys After the game that I have a lot to be thankful for but that this Thanksgiving I’m thankful I get to be around them. I couldn’t ask for a better group of kids or a better assistant coach by my side. We’re going in to Thanksgiving break with a record of 8 and 8. Although we will eat a lot of turkey the next few days, I promise we will be hungry and ready to go against Blacksburg next Tuesday.”
Gibson Barr dropped 8 points, the old fashioned way. scoring four 2 point baskets 🧺. Dane Austin added four points, Caleb Hill and Elijah Davis both added a bucket for the Cavaliers.
8-8 after playing non-stop ✋ Basketball 🏀 across 28 days. There should be bonus points for surviving the hectic schedule!
