Heading to The Fort
Fort Chiswell, Virginia – Carroll County High School is set to join host Fort Chiswell and six other local Schools for three days of non – stop Basketball 🏀 beginning today and continuing on Monday and Tuesday.
The Cavaliers enter the event supporting a 3 -2 mark which includes splitting two exciting games against the host Pioneers. We won’t know if there’s going to be a trilogy or not until the bracket unfolds.
Fort Chiswell is slated to open against East Wilkes High School (Ronda, NC) while Carroll County will square off against Narrows High School
Narrows also sits at 3-2 and the Green Waves and Carroll County have a common opponent in Galax. NHS kicked off its season with a 59 – 51 victory at Galax while the Cavaliers cruised to a 20 point victory in the same Gymnasium.
Three Rivers District foe, Radford, is once again in the field and the Bobcats will open up against Ashe County ( West Jefferson, NC). Galax and Pulaski County round out the field.
8 Varsity and 8 Junior Varsity teams are set to compete in a Wall to Wall manner with Carroll County capping off Day 1 with an 8 :30 Tip-off

Before I share the messages from Travis Osborne and Howard Mayo, I want to personally Thank both of these gentlemen for their Daily show of support !!!Travis ( 7 days a week ) and Howard ( 5 Days) make what we do possible !
The amount of positive energy that it takes to wake up and choose to create content everyday that is designed to make people smile is harder than one might think. Waking up a finding a message from both of these folks truly fuels the tank !!
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
While I want to wish EVERYONE a Merry Christmas, there are a handful of people I would like to say Thank You to at the same time.
Words cannot describe the amount of appreciation and respect that I have for our High School Principal 💗.
See, I wake up each day and choose to try and show appreciation for all things taking place on The Hill. For our leader, its not a choice its pretty much a mandate. Here’s hoping 🙏 that the Man who has a job that many won’t ever fully understand, myself included, is spending a Day with his lovely family ❤!
Who else fits under the same umbrella 🌂 of caring about ALL instead of some ?
Kevin DeHaven and Samantha Reed. Merry Christmas to our Athletic Director and leader of our Athletic Association. Both face a dual challenge in that they have dual challenges with both having a job with responsibilities and two Kiddos that fall under their jurisdiction. Our world 🌎 is a better place with these two people in it.
Next up for me is a pair of hard working Women that both contain a Heart ❤ of Gold. Vickey Ritchie and Velvet Creed Leonard give of themselves for the betterment of others in a manner that makes me proud to know them !
Merry Christmas to some folks that influence our lives everyday. Donna Nester and her husband Rick, Marion Harris and his family 👪 of overachievers, Kevin Burress, Tammy Tobler and Macie Adkins down at Cavalier Park.
Merry Christmas to Greg Talley and his Sons, Kris Richardson and his Family as well. Let’s add Beth Bouldin and Kristy Jones to the list along with Shawn Montgomery, Shannon Dalton, Samantha Lark – Smith and Jon Delp…
You might have discovered a theme year and it goes right along with the reason for the season. We have so many reasons why we could be joyful… enough to create a Christmas Carol…
