_______________________________

Bulls leading 39-29 @ the half.

Duke is struggling from 3 (0-6), FG (37%) and FT (9/15-60%), hence the 10 point deficit. White out game for the Bulls = Free T-shirts 👕…

I think we can really see where we are getting better at handling the ball and attacking the basket. Our defense showed some good signs with our rotations. Hopefully we will continue to work hard and get better – from Howard Mayo 🙏

After 3rd, Bulls 63-46 over Duke (24-17 in the 3rd)….

Duke will fall to 3-3 with the next two games against Top 5 teams over the Thanksgiving holidays.

Thank You to everyone who helped out along the way !!!

Thursday Morning 🌄 Brew showcases a number of events as we have six on the docket…

Plenty of new stories were written in the middle of the night 🌙 so please enjoy them…

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

Carroll County Middle School Boys 👦 fall 44-36 in an up tempo game in Wytheville on Wednesday night 🌙

Wytheville – Sam Johnson led the way for Head Coach Darian Brown and the Middle School Cavaliers by scoring a team high 13 points but the team could not overcome a balanced attack by the homestanding Scott Memorial Middle School.

SMMS scored 22 points in each of the halves and that proved to be just enough to escape with a 44-36 victory.

Five Cavaliers dented the scorebook on the night as Trenton Poe added eight points while Gibson Barr totaled seven. Grant Reed (5 points) and Caleb Hill (3 points ) rounded out the scoring for Carroll County

Carroll County (6-6) returns to the court for a third consecutive time this week when Radford comes to The Hill.

Hopefully, we can circle back and add some thoughts from Coach Brown 🙏 later today.

Alyssa Ervin played Basketball 🏀 in Radford Wednesday night and just like when she was a Lady 👩 Cavalier, folks from The Hill were more than happy to drive up and show their 💘 for our Gal!

Game number six of her time as a Paladin of Ferrum University brought Alyssa Ervin as close to playing at 🏡 as mathematicaly as possible. Forty miles was all that separated the High School where Ervin scored 2,000+ points and the home of the RU Highlanders.

While I was watching on my computer 🖥 screen from Orlando, Florida, I wasn’t worried about capturing the action of the game itself. But to tell the story that I wanted to tell about the night 🌙, I was going to need some help and it came in the form of Vickey Ritchie and Marion Harris !

The outcome of the game was pretty much decided after Radford raced out to a 24-4 lead early in the second quarter but that wasn’t the story that I was chasing with this one. The story here was Ervin was coming home and the community was given an opportunity for a group HUG!

Vickey Ritchie with the capture of the night as she not only has Ervin and her Coach Pierre Curtis but also a slew of Carroll County residents in the background..

Volleyball 🏐 Coach Cindy Edwards was in the house 🏠 to show her support as was Glenn Burnett and Family. Let’s not forget the Ervin family themselves, being they raised Alyssa and so willingly shared her with so many people.

Wednesday night 🌙 wasn’t about Basketball as much as it was showing appreciation for a talented young Lady that is starting down a path that will hopefully have three more years to it down in the area known as Upstate, South Carolina.

I will challenge anyone with a last name other than Ervin, that I’m the biggest fan of Miss Ervin. Being driven is a challenge and when you find others that are blessed / cursed with similar traits its a natural connection. The journey is just beginning in regards to wearing Purple and thanks to Marion and Vickey, we were able to capture 💜 a glimpse of the evening.

From a Basketball standpoint, Ervin finished up with 7 points and now has 67 on the season after six games. Quick math shows that’s an average of 11+ points a game.

But the bigger story was how many of the announced crowd of 1,293 drove home down Highway 100 as they headed back to The Hill.

Carroll County Middle School Girls Basketball 🏀 bring home a W from Wytheville, 31-17 !

Wytheville – Zari Cushman scored 10 of her season high 21 points in the opening 6:00 and the Lady 👩 Cavaliers never looked back on their way to a 31-17 victory over Scott Memorial Middle School Wednesday night.

One day after a spirited effort at Patrick County, where CCMS fell just short, Coach Kris Richardson and his team earned its second victory of the season.

” Finally, I’m home before 10 pm and finally we got a victory,” said Richardson. ” Hats off to these girls for continuing to work hard. Perseverance pays off when you believe in the process and believe in each other. Great overall team win. We play tomorrow at home against Radford.”

The Lady 👩 Cavaliers avoided the slow start that has plagued them for most of the season, cruising to a 23-3 lead at the break and then holding on for the victory. Briley McGhee added eight points and Kierra Robinson scored the remaining basket 🧺 to round out the scoring.

The offense was limited to just three players but the impressive defensive effort went across the board.

Congratulations 👏👏👏 on the victory over Scott Memorial Middle School !
