The Hill – Carroll County High School Boys Basketball might be in need of a warning label about your heart if Anthony Barnes and his Cavaliers keep playing games that resemble theme park rides.
The thrill a minute team protected The Hill in its Three Rivers District opener Tuesday night, edging Glenvar, 80 -76. The team and the fans will have little recovery time as both Varsity and Junior Varsity are set to play Thursday (@ Patrick County) and Friday versus Pulaski County in make-up games.
Isaiah Easter continues to lead the Cavaliers in his fourth and final season playing under Barnes. The point total landed at 35 and both Blake Reed (11 points) and Colton Gravley (14 points) joined Easter in double figures against the Highlanders.
” First night if District play , which is huge for momentum and moving forward plus being home its huge too,” said Barnes. ” Definitely a game of runs, Coach Luton does a great job with his guys and the shoot and look for a 3 all the time, we spent 3 solid days on defensive and too hold them to only 6 make us mission accomplished.”
Trailing 42 – 37 at the half and limited to made 3 – pointers, Carroll County showed flexibility in their efforts to score on the offensive end with 25 made baskets from inside the Arc to just three from distance. The team sparkled at the charity stripe, going 21 of 28 for 75%.
Easter finished 11 of 12 from the free throw line and both fellow Senior, Trace Reavis ( 9 points) and Reed went 3 of 4 to keep the Highlanders at bay.
” When you play it that way you will give up some drives like we did,” added Barnes. ” We are still to this day a work in progress, I told them after the game I was proud of never quitting or giving in and hats off too them they dug in and pulled it off.We have been working them extremely hard, (Jason) Stockner, ( Jabin )Talley and (Cody) Reece are putting in everything they have for our success. Once we fine tune defensive wise our lives will be easier. Another huge game for Easter, 35pts,6 assits, and 5 rebounds. Been on Trace about producing offensive wise 9pts,4 rebounds, 2 assits, its what we have to have to be successful moving forward.”
Kyle Bunn and Hayden Jackson rounded out the scoring for Carroll County with two points each.

” Well rounded games by Reed and Gravely, only one day of practice for Motley with flu early in week to chip in 7,” noted Barnes. ” We going to be there and make noise , just gotta fix and clean up on the defensive end. Back to work tomorrow !”
Glenvar opened the night with a 53-38 victory in the Junior Varsity game, leaving CCHS at 4-5 on the season. Head Coach Ryan Phillips will look to return to .500 in Stuart on Thursday.
Defending the crown 👑 in the District will not be an easy task but Tuesday night was a great start for the Cavaliers. The combination of a victory ➕ atmosphere might have caused an enormous bump in the heart rate of a few folks in the building but they will have two days to rest up.
Tonight we will have both Elijah Cox and his Randolph Wildcats ➕ Katie Lam and her Roanoke College teammates playing versus Bridgewater College off exit 240 ( down the street from Buc-ees).. Roanoke College at Home, Randolph College away.
We will have a Kristy Jones sighting later today as West Long will be hosting his Senior Day wrestling match! I was blessed with the opportunity 🙏 to announce this event last season.
Scholastic Bowl 🥣 makes its initial appearance on the Dance 💃 Card, making it a special day for many.

Glenvar – Carroll County needed all 32 minutes to finally pull away from Glenvar Tuesday night as the Lady Cavaliers edged the Highlanders 42-37.
Laynie-Jo Leonard hit the ground running 🏃♂️ for Head Coach Howard Mayo as the Junior guard scored the first five points for Carroll County. Carolyn Mitchell drained a 3 – pointer late in the first period to puts the Lady Cavaliers up 12-4 but Glenvar answered back with a 7-0 run to make it 12-11.
Glenvar would take its first lead of the game at 18 -17 and the teams headed into the lockeroom tied at 19-19. Raylee Goins accounted for five of the seven points CCHS scored in the second quarter.
Mayo saw a third player score five points in a quarter and this time it was Kenzie Young. Carroll County captured the quarter 13-8 and the Cavaliers played enough defense down the stretch to sneak out with a hard fought victory.
Mitchell took the five point per quarter baton and hers came after Glenvar pulled even at 33 – 33.
” I thought we had a strong finish to the game we where able to limit their two leading scorers to 9 points,” said Mayo. ” Every player scored.In the third quarter when we made multiple passes and found a open petson. We where able to extend the lead. We did a good job at the end of the game running our delay game and working on burning large chunks of time. We then made some very good defensive plays. Hopefully we will continue to get better as the season plays out.”
