We learned that we have Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€ folks that helped create a 🚒load of Blog coverage for us.

We learned that Junior Elijah Cox and the Randolph College Wildcats are going to head into their ODAC off of a victory after defeating William Peace down in Raleigh. Cox is averaging just a tick under 10 points per game.

Velvet’ s Kiddo  might need some Aspirin in the morning πŸŒ„ after her willingness to put herself in harms way.

We learned that Madison Coleman plays like the energizer Bunny 🐰. Does she get her energy from her Way Cool Mom ? Bonus photo capture with Head Coach Howard Mayo overseeing the action 🎬

We already knew that Aaliyah Hampton has a pretty cool Aunt but we can add her work ethic is growing.

Carroll County JV battled back from a 17 -7 halftime deficit to force overtime before falling 43 – 36.

Varsity struggled for a brief stretch in the third quarter and that allowed Patrick County to win the nightcap 46 – 34….

We will see πŸ‘€ what the Coaches have to say about their games and create a recap or two later.

Plenty of energy on display tonight on The Hill ! Thank You Vickey Ritchie and Kevin DeHaven β€πŸ™

Saved by the Bell πŸ””: The Cavalier College Years features Elijah Cox and his Randolph College Wildcats playing down in Raleigh, North Carolina !

Randolph College returns from a long break for the Holidays with a contest at William Peace University. The Wildcats last played back on December 16th against Greensboro College.

Today’s game is not on FloCollege but is available on YouTube. After today the team will move into ODAC play for the final 14 contests of the season.

Elijah Cox hit an early 3-pointer and currently has 3 points and two rebounds with 4:13 remaining in the first half. The Wildcats lead 30 -25 as they look to end non- conference play on a positive note.

We will keep up with the game and invite folks to check back and see how it ended.

Wildcats closed out the first half in a big way and lead 44 – 32 at the break. Cox has two fouls which limited our Cavalier to 14 of 20 minutes played in the opening half.

Wildcats win 82 – 72 !!!

Cox played 32/40 minutes and finished up with 11 points and 3 rebounds !

Well Done Sir, Well Done πŸ‘
