Game #1 of 3 on Saturday afternoon was a nice preparation date for Alyssa Ervin and Furman University as the Paladins get ready for SoCon play !
Coach Curtis did a tremendous job spreading the minutes 👏 across his entire roster in the game against their cross town neighbors. Our Lady Cavalier took full advantage of her limited time on the floor by scoring 13 points in just 14 minutes on 6 of 8 shooting.
Alyssa also added 2 rebounds and 2 Assists as the Paladins improve to 8-7 on the season. Thursday night at East Tennessee State is where the team begins league play.
Welcome 🙏 to the Morning 🌄 Brew for Saturday, January 3rd where we will shift our focus from The Hill to Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years !
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Three of our five current College players will be in action 🎬 today and the bonus game for us will be making the short by elevated ride up to Cedar City for the Southern Utah University Men’s Basketball game 🏀 at 6:30.
The Duke, UVA and where I stay motto spills over to both Utah Tech and Southern Utah in addition to the 💘 for all things Carroll County.
Anytime The Score App doesn’t have a logo next to a team it means that the team isn’t a Division One squad. This sent me to the internet ( which just might catch on ) to learn about today’s opponent for Alyssa Ervin and Furman University.
Get out there and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌 and know that later on we will piece together something about the three games listed above ➕ anything else that finds its way to our inbox 📥…

Head Coach Howard Mayo took the time to share his thoughts on the contest with the Lady 👩 Cougars…
‘ Tonight game was a physical battle and we competed. But unfortunately we are not making the most of our scoring opportunities as we shot 5 for 27 from the field in the second half. We will continue to work on our shooting and hopefully shot the ball better Tuesday night. Our players play hard we just need to continue to get better offensively.”
Here is the start of the coverage from last night 🌙 :
Tonight we digested three Basketball 🏀 games involving Carroll County High School 🏫, Past and Present. Let’s see what we know now that we didn’t know when the Day started…
We still hope 🙏 to share more insight from the Junior Varsity rally from 10 points down in the second half to force overtime but for now we will stick a pin 📌 in this and switch over to preparing the Saturday Morning 🌄 Brew.
Thank You Velvet Leonard, Thank You Mama Smoot and Thank You Coach Mayo!
