4-0 Scoring recap
– Alisia goal Callie assist
– Callie goal Valeria assist
– Callie goal Valeria assist
– Callie goal Savannah assist

The girls got it done on the Hill tonight!! They started from the very beginning with Alisia Torres Lopez scoring just 57 seconds into the game with an assist from Callie Harris. For the next 15-20 minutes, Savannah Swecker, Alisia, Callie, Bibiana Rojas Bautista, and Nathaly Contreras kept shots and crosses going towards goal with many coming inches away from going in. Floyd’s goalie also did a great job turning some of the shots away.
With 15 minutes left in the first half, Callie Harris found the back of the net with an assist from Valeria Rosales. Then just 3 minutes later, in the 12th minute, Valeria had another beautiful assist to Callie, who finished it into the back of the net to make it 3-0. Sydney Bomberger, Valeria, Ithaca Vaught, and Yeili Urbina kept the offensive pressure up for the 2nd part of the 1st half. Yeili Urbina had 2 beautiful corners right through the middle of the box that just missed turning into a goal within inches.

In the second half, the girls started out strong again, missing many just wide or over top of the goal. We were able to find the back of the net with around 4 minutes left with an assist from Savannah to Callie for her third goal of the night to complete the hat trick.

Our defense did an amazing job tonight with the shutout and only allowing Floyd to have one shot on goal. Our defense consisted of Jackie Arellano-Torres, Genesis Harmon, Elena McKenzie, Aliza Hardy, Yuleimy Solis, and Melissa Mize. Only allowing 1 shot in a game is huge. Our defense did a great job of breaking down any of Floyd’s offense and never really allowed them to get it started. Alexis Sheffey added her 2nd shutout of the season and another shutout to her impressive goalie career.

We did a lot of subbing tonight due to us having 3 games in 4 days this week. All of the girls did a great job of stepping up when they were in, even if it was a short amount of time. I also had many girls step up and play positions that they do not normally play! Overall, it was a great 4-0 win for the girls!

The Hill – Nathan Jones is the man 👨 that keeps oh so many Cavalier student athletes upright and cared for off the field / diamond / court. Monday night, we needed him not once but twice during the Galax – Carroll County Middle School soccer match.

The more severe injury involved a Galax player and his arm. The entire process lasted between 10 and 15 minutes, and from start to finish, Jones handled a highly sensitive injury with a combination of medical knowledge and compassion.

Jones remained with the youngster until his big sister arrived on the scene, and fortunately, Sis is a nurse at Carillon, so the transition from one station to another went as smoothly as possible.

Moments after the dust settled, Jones was pressed into service once again, this time for what appeared to be a bloody nose on a Cavalier player.

While we would all prefer that Mr. Jones didn’t have to jump on the golf cart and race to an injury, Monday night was just another example of our MVP in action !

Callie and her Pink hat 👒

The Hill – Callie Harris recorded her first Hat Trick of her senior season in Carroll County High Schools 4-0 victory over visiting Floyd County on Monday night at Tommy Thompson Field.

While everyone else seemed to be overjoyed for the youngest of the Harris daughters, the oldest one, Head Coach Adrienne Harris McGuire, was just as happy to keep pushing her buttons long after the final whistle.

With the Harris group, it’s just a family thing.

Six minutes into the match, sophomore Alisia Torres Lopez put the Lady Cavaliers on the scoreboard on her second good look of the evening. From there, it was Harris three times to secure the home victory.

Alexis Sheffey enjoyed recording another shutout, thanks in part to the Carroll County back line of defense keeping the Lady Buffaloes 🐃 away from the net.
