______________________________
The Lady 👩 Cavaliers have eight available players and 50% of them were recovering from a flu bug. Aaliyah Hampton led a balanced attack with a team high 11 points but the team simply could not dig all of the way out of the early hole.
Veteran Coach Howard Mayo was able to point out the areas where his team will look to improve.
” We lost a tough game tonight 52-40,” said Mayo. ” We had moments were we played well but we also didnt always take advantage our our scoring opportunities. We were 5-19 from free line. We only hit 1 three pointer and for our team to play up to it potential we got to make open 3’s. We will get a chance to get better Monday.”
Raylee Goins at the Free Throw line in the opening half.
The Lady Cavaliers used a 6 – 0 run in the third quarter to trim the deficit down to single digits at 35 – 27 with just over two minutes to play. The score remained the same for a long stretch after Harris netted all six of her points during the stretch. Coleman pushed the run to 8-0 with a layup to cut ✂️ the lead to six but that was as close as CCHS would get.
Hopefully everyone 🙏 will be closer to full strength on Monday as Carroll County will face a high octane offense on Monday night 🌙.

The Hill – Carroll County Junior Varsity surrendered an early basket 🧺 to visiting Mount Airy Saturday afternoon but it would turn out to be the only one of the game as our Coach Cushman led Lady 👩 Cavaliers improved to 3 – 0 on the season with a 31 – 3 victory.
Instead of playing four six or seven minute quarters, the teams played two 15 minute halves with a 10 minute break and CCHS was equally dominant in both sessions, winning 17 – 2 and 14 – 1.
Coach Cushman took the time to offer her thoughts on the tremendous effort she received from her entire roster.
” The girls secured another W tonight. This is such a fun group to coach. I can’t let the night go without commending these ladies on their defense, holding Mt. Airy to only 3 points the entire game.
We struggled with help side our first game of the season, but we took that to practice and executed it well tonight. Rylee Woodard had an excellent defensive game. Kate Holderfield continues to be a leader on the court. Madison Adkins came off the bench looking to score and you just can’t ask for better effort from the team.”
