Allen Worrell will have a full story on this shortly so here’s a quick hit fun look at what we have been saying all season. Carroll County Baseball ⚾️ has Mad Skills!!!!! Your All – District list :

Britt Berrier also is headed to Charlottesville !!

Today at 2:30 pm [ Now Noon] Head Coach Christy Shupe will look to once again compete at Cave Spring High School versus the Knights.

Monday morning 🌄 turned into Monday afternoon and that turned into Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday was not an option as CSHS held its High School graduation.

Seniors Ethan Richardson and Paul Marshall will lead the way today, weather permitting.

The highest percentage of Rain 🌧 today in Roanoke ?? Naturally, its right before the match is slated to start.

Weather Permitting – as Chuck Larrabee would say to Mike Baxter – ” Not Cool “

Covering or enjoying any Sport at the High School 🏫 level is directly tied to one’s ability to understand the process itself. Later this morning, our Track 👣 and Field Coaches will gather up our Squads on The Hill and take them up to Christiansburg High School for the Boys and Girls Regional meet.

The chart above shows the set standards that any athlete strives to reach. Hitting this mark in their event automatically advances them to the State Meet. Once again, the Class 3 State Meet will be held at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

Heading into today, Carroll County High School has two Athletes that have already qualified for June 6 and 7th.

On the Girls side, Corrie Delp will be wearing the Cavalier colors for the third straight season. The long jump is the event that is set in stone with the possibility of adding sprints 🏃‍♂️.

On the Boys side, Brendan Fariss is headed to LU in the High Jump.

Last year Carroll County had four State participants as Delp, Brayden Smoot, Davis Reitzel and Alyssa Ervin each hit their marks.

The year prior, it was Delp and Elijah Smith who reached the final level. Smith is back this season as one of the Assistant coaches helping lead the way.

Now we know the following – who has been lately, who is going this year, how you get the invite and where the final two meets are being held.

At the District meet, Carroll County finished with a trio of District Champs 🏆

Amelia Dalton-Triple Jump District Champion,

Corrie-District Champion Long Jump

Brendan Fariss – District champion High Jump.

Now, winning the District crown 👑 does not send you to State automatically but Fariss did punch his ticket last week at Floyd County.

This leaves the Individuals who can earn the right to compete at the highest level and Carroll County has quite a few that are within the blink of an eye. Both Seniors, Smoot and Rambo Dalton are within less than a second and Amelia Dalton will look to add to her District title.

Delp finished up at Floyd with a mark that left the Junior within 1/4 inch of the Carroll County High School All-Time mark of 17’8. Three more chances will await her today.

It’s a truly exciting day for all of the Cavaliers that will be boarding the 🚌 today. The continued pursuit of the next PR ( Personal Record) has been fun to monitor as 17 have been recorded in each of the past two meets.

It’s certainly different from say, Anthony Barnes and his Basketball team when they advanced to their Regional tournament. In most sports you win as a team or lose as a team, but in Track 👣 and Field its just a bit more complicated. The great news is that we have Shawn Montgomery to explain it all to us as it happens.

Finish in the Top Four today, advance to State. Hit a certain number, advance to State. Here’s hoping that Delp and Fariss have plenty of company next weekend in Lynchburg !

Start time – 2pm !

The Hill

  To recap, the goal in the Springtime is to try my best to be there when the final game / match / meet is concluded. Adding back Girls Junior Varsity Soccer ⚽️ back this season pushed the number up to 12.

Tonight it was the final match for the Boys 👦 Varsity Soccer over at Smith River Soccer Park.

Please remember that both the Tennis teams and both Track 👣 and Field teams have forks in the road, where individuals can go down a separate path. With that said, we can get caught up.

The team I like to call the Burcham Bunch, Varsity Baseball ⚾️ hopes to start their Regional tournament on Friday night at Bill Worrell Field . First, they need Lord Botetourt and Cave Spring to play their #7 versus #10 game.

Tomorrow will be the final time that a number of CCHS Student Athletes compete. Some for the season and some for good.
