Psalm 63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Yesterday was a busy, busy day as we touched on quite a few things. Big Thank You 🙏 to Beth Bouldin for all of her efforts up in Wytheville with the Middle School Basketball 🏀 games!!!!
Back on The Hill, Coach Ritchie will lead yet another afternoon of fun for our Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 team. Brett Petty did the group proud yesterday with his efforts in the Half Marathon !
Carroll County Middle School Basketball 🏀 went a combined 3-3 Saturday in Wytheville, Virginia and both squads dive back to The Hill with something to show for their efforts.
Coach Brown and the Boys team dropped their opener, sending the Cavaliers into the consolation bracket. The team responded with consecutive wins to finish atop their bracket.
Thanks to the efforts of Mrs Beth Bouldin we have a running blog of the day a few posts 📫 back.
Coach Brown has sent in some numbers as well so we can build on the coverage.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 on the effort !
On the Girls side, Coach Richardson and his team also dropped their opener to send them to the consolation bracket.
The second game of the day was a back and forth showdown with Rural Retreat. The Lady 👩 Cavaliers came up a mere three points short but they would break into the Win column for the first time on the season in the final game of the event.
