Monday was our next to the last night πŸŒ™ at Cavalier Park for the season, and our Junior Varsity team made the most of the solo show !

Carroll County JV Softball team hosted Glenvar Monday night at Cavalier Park, and when the dust settled, our Lady Cavaliers owned a 12 – 4 Three Rivers District victory over the Highlanders.

Ava Beamer was in a pitchers showdown with Kherington Jewell from start to finish. Jewell won the strikeout battle 13 to 8, but Beamer had two things working in her favor on her way to the victory.

Better defense and team speed are what made the difference for Carroll County. Bree Campbell reached base in all four at bats, recording three bunt singles. The fourth time was by a way of a hit by pitch, and the speedy second baseman touched home plate three times !

Beamer scattered eight hits and issued just one walk across the seven innings. The righty did a great job keeping the Highlanders off balance, mixing her pitches. Everyone not named Jewell struggled with her offerings as her opposite number went 3 for 3 with two runs scored.

Beamer helped herself by reaching base all four times, including the first time when she reached base after a dropped third strike. The other three trips ended with base hits, and her curtosey runner, Miss Ailey Cochran, also touched home plate three times.

Glenvar High   000 103 0 – 4

Carroll County 023 133 X – 12

Fun takes on the night πŸŒ™ :

Ava Beamer on who gets the credit for her advanced level of maturity : Certainly not my Dad….

Ashlynn Smith ( 3 runs scored ) took pride in once again being hit by a pitch.

Our Foul Ball contest winner πŸ†

Getting to meet the Father of my Junior Varsity press box πŸ“¦ partner, Kevin Lineberry, was a treat. Poor Kevin was getting grief from both directions as Dad mentioned that Kevin should add some ” Zing ” to his voice when he introduces his granddaughter.

Molly Montgomery was asked about whether or not her Dad was cool or not ? Quick answer was, ” He thinks that he is”

Mom was feeling brave at the moment, so we let Molly answer the same question about her other parental unit ???? Molly delivered once again – ” She thinks she is “

My apologies for my goof while introducing the Lady Cavaliers. Aleigha Beamer was our flex player and playing centerfield…my omission was quickly corrected, but it was a mistake just the same.

Holly Miller made the trip upstairs multiple times to announce the Parker twins. Holly will have her goodbye πŸ‘‹ to Cavalier Park on Wednesday night.

Terry Warf and Alec Horton will wrap up their first season together on Wednesday evening against James River High School. 5:00 is the scheduled start time for the doubleheader as Varsity plays the Knights in game two !

This group of young Lady Cavaliers have been a fun group to work with and their parents as well !

I’m looking forward to Wednesday evening when we say our goodbyes.

Thank You to Brandi Cochran Mitchell for working the ticket 🎟 table and to the folks from the Future Business Leaders of America for working our Concession stand tonight !

Marion Harris was over in Stuart tonight, and he took us inside the ropes of the Lady Cavaliers 5-1 victory over Patrick County!

Final Score

Earlier today, we wrote that Adrienne Harris McGuire and her Varsity Lady Cavaliers needed to go three for three over the next three days to secure a playoff spot in the Regional tournament that is stacked beyond belief.

The match was resumed at the 10:00 mark, the same point where it had been interrupted by lightning 🌩 last month.

Here’s how the Lady Cavaliers finished up the match…

30 sec in 1-0

Us,  Savannah ( Miss Swecker )

Β  Really 10:30 in after the 10 mins that was played 6 weeks ago

1-1 after a pk10 min left 1st half

  2-1 under 2 mins 1st half, Callie to Savannah Swecker

3-1 Callie scored
30 left

4-1
Callie to Ithaca Vaught

5-1 Callie from Kristen Dalton

Half Pint nets 2, The Artist 🎨 nets 2 and Miss Vaught makes it 5 !

Step #2 is a free pass as the match set for tomorrow night versus Floyd County,Β  goes down as a forfeit win.

11-4-1 with James River High School 🏫 coming to The Hill on Wednesday night !

Should be a great night πŸŒ™!!!

Forrest Johnson and Jeremy Puckett need your help on Tuesday night, in more ways than one. Wednesday night at James River is a MUST TOO, but first things first – Tuesday night πŸŒ™ on The Hill..

Two matches are left to play, and our coaching staff knows that our 11 needs to win both matches in order to advance into another very stacked Regional tournament.

Tuesday night is also our once delayed Youth Night celebration, and while it fits into a different category, it’s equally important to the future of our program !

Corey Williams works as hard as anyone on The Hill and is surrounded by a dedicated group of folks trying hard to enable both the Boys and Girls programs to advance to the next level.

Tuesday night is their moment to shine on the Big Stage, which should, in turn, light the fire πŸ”₯ for the future Cavaliers.

Earlier this season, Forrest and Company defeated James River 3-1 and went up to the Bobcats den and came home with a 2-2 tie. The team needs to win both matches and celebrate the future along the way !

Β  It’s a very TALL order for most, but we have two very focused young Men running this show so I wouldn’t bet against them.

Consider yourself invited to the show on Tuesday night πŸŒ™ !
