The ceremony took place just before 7:00 pm, and it was wonderful to see so many family members in attendance for the moment. Let’s add a nod to the folks from Patrick County as they were both respectful and patient. I hope that the message was soothing to those it was intended for, and I considered it an honor to be the one trying to have my voice reflect what this young man meant to Coach Johnson and his program.
Prior to the ceremony, Jeremy Puckett and his JV Cavaliers pitched a 2-0 shutout with the goals belonging to Alex Esquivel and Christian Solis-Ruiz.
Congratulations to Coach Puckett and his crew !
The Boys 👦 Varsity game was first interrupted by rain at 7:11 and then halted by the first sight of lightning 🌩 seven minutes later. Roughly 24 minutes of game time was played, and Carroll County was leading 1-0 at the time.
The scoring play was started by Evan Conner with a direct kick that found Christian Cruz, who then fed the ball to Aiden Puckett. The Junior then put the biscuit in the basket 🧺 and my booth partner for the night, Hez Mejia, nailed the call on the goal.
After almost an hour, the decision was made to postpone the game until tomorrow night with a restart time to be determined.
The Varsity Girls contest over at Patrick County High School stopped ✋️ in a similar fashion with the teams still tied, Nil – Nil. The decision on when to resume the match is still to be determined.
That leaves us Brittany Kinney and our Girls JV. Their match with the Cougars was played prior to the varsity match, and once we know that result, we will circle 🔵 back to add it here.
