December 15, 2025 – A.S.P.N on The Hill

The Hill – Carroll County Junior Varsity improved to 2-0 on the season with an evening opening 48 – 16 victory over visiting Patrick Henry – Glade Springs Monday night.

Head Coach Howard Mayo sent his 2025 – 2026 version of the Lady 👩 Cavaliers out on the floor in front of the home fans for the first time and they responded well on both ends of the court in their 67-49 victory.

Starting with the defensive side of the court, Carroll County limited their guests to just five points across the opening eight minutes. CCHS led 14-5 heading into the second quarter and this time it was the Lady Cavaliers offense that put on a show.

Callie Harris and CC Mitchell both finished the contest with career highs. Harris dropped 21 points and Mitchell was close behind with 18. To add to the impressive numbers, the team posted 23 points in the frame !

**** Where the story goes from here is I take any thoughts that both coaches have on the efforts they received and if I’m lucky, someone will send in a pic or 2.

For the time being, the Lady Cavaliers put on a show for the home fans who waited patiently for the weather to allow games to be played !

Here is the first of 3 pieces to the puzzle !!

From our Junior Varsity Head Coach :

” We are so proud of the JV Lady Cavs tonight. They continue to improve each day and put in hard work. We talked a lot about finding our identity as a team this week and I think we are on the Path of getting there. We competed as a unit today and moved the ball really well. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these ladies!

Here is the Easy Stats write up:

The Carroll County JV Girls delivered a commanding 48-17 victory over Patrick Henry at home, improving their perfect record to 2-0. This dominant performance showcased the team’s balanced offense and tenacious defense, as they controlled the game from the opening tip and never allowed their opponents to mount any serious threat.

Carroll County established their dominance early, with Kate Holderfield leading a first-quarter surge that put the team ahead 16-2. Holderfield opened the game with three consecutive two-point field goals, then capped off her stellar quarter with a three-pointer to give her 9 points in the opening frame. The team continued their offensive onslaught in the second quarter, extending their lead to 27-6 by halftime. Holderfield remained hot, adding 6 more points, while Madison Adkins contributed with a clutch three-pointer to help build the commanding advantage.

Kate Holderfield’s exceptional performance was the story of the night, as she finished with a game-high 28 points on outstanding 13-19 shooting from the field. Her consistent scoring throughout all four quarters kept Patrick Henry at bay and demonstrated her versatility as a scorer. Milli Parker provided excellent support with 11 points, including two three-pointers that helped stretch the lead at crucial moments. Hayden Heflin was highly efficient with 6 points on 3-4 shooting, while Madison Adkins added 3 points with her three-pointer in the second quarter.

The team’s depth and balanced rotation allowed multiple players to contribute meaningfully to this impressive victory. With strong defensive play limiting Patrick Henry to just 17 points and an explosive offensive display that saw them score in double digits in three of the four quarters, Carroll County continues to show why they remain undefeated and are building excellent momentum for the season ahead.”

Thank You Ma’am !!!!

Varsity Head Coach Howard Mayo checks ✔ in with his thoughts :

” We are excited about our performance tonight. We had 3 players in double figures along with another one who had 9 points. Each player had a positive impact on the game. Wheeler it be points,,rebounds, assist or steals. We had 15 assist which shows how well we shared the ball tonight . We are looking forward to practicing the next couple of days and getting better.”

Thank You Sir for keeping 🙏 us in the know !

From Beth Bouldin :

Hello! We have received word from Coach Brown that there will be no CCMS basketball games today due to Rural Retreat having to close schools for weather.

I do not know if the games will be rescheduled, I will let you know asap what that decision is announced.

Meanwhile, fingers crossed the Cavaliers will return to the court tomorrow night for a make-up game against Christiansburg. At home on Main Street, Hillsville, the boys will start off the evening at 4:30pm, with the Lady Cavs immediately after.

Let’s go Cavaliers! 💙🏀

Final Update :

So, my apologies! I had a game penciled in on my calendar, but apparently that one is not happening. I completely missed the message about that.

So the CCMS Basketball teams will be back in action on Wednesday, playing at Fort Chiswell with the girls starting off at 5:30 PM.

So we have one more last chance to root, root, root for our Kiddos on Wednesday.

Here shortly, its the Junior Varsity Girls 👧 taking the court…
