The final piece of business was the contest between the Varsity Lady Cavaliers and the Blue Devils of Grayson County. The scoreboard will show that Grayson County defeated Carroll County 66-44 in a contest full of runs 🏃‍♂️ by both teams.

Grayson County opened the game with a 7-0 spurt, a stretch that included many solid shots from CCHS but not any that would drop. Madison Coleman and CC Mitchell would eventually answer with 3 points each in the Cavaliers 6-2 response..

Run 🏃‍♂️ #2 for Grayson County was 11-1 and pushed the deficit to 20-7. Once again, the Lady Cavaliers answered back as Laynie-Jo Leonard scored an And One 3-point play, Mitchell added a steal and basket 🧺 ahead of Callie Harris drilling her initial 3-pointer in what would turn into a 13 – 5 run 🏃‍♂️ that took the game to the half at 25 – 20 in favor of Grayson County.

The third run for the Blue Devils was overwhelming as it was quick as the visitors dropped 12 points in the first 2:00 minutes while Raylee Goins snuck in the lone points for Carroll County.

Trailing now 37 – 22 after facing a blitz to start a quarter, Carroll County showed a great deal of fight in their third answer. The team strung together a 9-3 answer to once again pull within six points at 40 – 34.

Grayson County controlled the final 8:00 minutes from start to finish (22-8) and it turned the contest into a lopsided victory that didn’t reflect the resilience that the Lady Cavaliers showed throughout the contest.

When Aaliyah Hampton scored the games final basket 🧺 from the post, it put six of the eight Lady Cavaliers in the scoring column for the contest.

Christmas Day is right around the corner now and its hard to imagine what the thought process is for various people who are set to Celebrate the Holiday with their loved ones but to not take a moment to acknowledge that Tammy Tobler and her family are feeling an emptiness this week would be unacceptable to me.

If there’s anything that might help, its the thought that Jeff and his Mother are together now after her recent passing.

Tammy, know that you are Loved by many and your pain is our pain. 💘

Luke 2:9-10
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

Carroll County JV Girls 👧 Basketball head into the Christmas 🎄 Break with a perfect 4-0 mark after dispensing the Lady Blue Devils, 32 – 11 on The Hill!

Carroll County JV Basketball 🏀 team continues to ride the Hot 🔥 Hand ✋ of Kate Holderfield (17 points ) but on Saturday afternoon Head Coach Hailey Cushman received plenty of offensive contributions from her roster in their 32 -11 victory over Grayson County on Saturday evening.

The latest victory came at the back end of the just completed Carroll County Christmas Tournament ( Cavalier Christmas Basketball Classic ).

When you add in the two scrimmages, Cushman and her team has outscored their opponents all six times out.

” We started out a little slow tonight but eventually found our groove and locked in,” said Cushman. ” We are seeing progress as a team and as individual players, but we still have a lot of work to do to continue our growth on both ends of the court. Proud of these girls!!! Merry Christmas!”

Easy stats write up: For the AI fans out there ! Having watched the game on the Network, I have to admit that the app does a solid job with the details.

One of the things that I would add is just how many extra possessions by crashing the offensive glass, from start to finish.

It’s worth noting that the Junior Varsity contests were all played as two 15 minute halves in place of four six or seven minute quarters.

Grayson County JV … 8 3 – 11

Carroll County JV …..14 18 – 32
