Fort Chiswell : After our 96-95 victory back on December 3rd, Anthony Barnes had some games on the slate to tend to before taking our team up US – 52 to invade the Fort. But Mother Nature had other plans and now its time for Round 2.

This time around the home court advantage belongs to the 3-1 Pioneers but hopefully 🙏 enough folks will make the short drive across the County line to give our team a fighting chance.

There’s no way that the back end can live up to the first go-around, right ? Don’t bet against it as the Cavaliers will be hungry from not having played a game in almost two full weeks !

Take the Highway or take the scenic route, but either way, bring your energy !!
