Marion informs us that the tournament was originally scheduled for two days has been shortened to just Saturday due to the amount of Snow ❄ fall. The weather kept some teams from attending the event.

Over in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, we have some dedicated Carroll County Volleyball 🏐 players set to compete for Cindy Edwards and her staff. With both Travis Osborne and Marion Harris on hand ✋we should be in a position where we can show some appreciation for this group of Ladies.
Speaking of Travis, his Bible Verse 🙏 of the Day:
Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, sounds like a good question ???
We will see some College Basketball today but I’m not sure if it will rival what we watched last night.
When a sportswriter is watching a game there can be multiple times when the storyline changes dramatically and that was certainly the case Friday night 🌙 as Furman University refused to lose against their neighbors and rivals, Wofford.
Alyssa Ervin, our former Lady 👩 Cavalier, finished with a game high 21 points with the final bucket coming on a well designed inbounds play by Head Coach Pierre Curtis. After Wofford took a one point lead at 64-63 with a made free throw, Furman called a timeout with 0:01.9 seconds on the clock ⏰ and Chantelle Stuart lobbed a pass over a 6’4 defender that Ervin caught mid-air and shot before landing for the victory.
It might not have been Grant Hill to Christian Laettner back in 1991 but it will be running on Furman highlight reels for a hot minute. The victory moves the Paladins to 6-1 in the SoCon at the midway pole, alone in second place !
Ervin also scored the previous basket to tie the game at 63 – 63 with 0:26 remaining but Wofford secured an offensive rebound after a late miss, allowing the home team to seemingly claim a hard fought victory.
Clare Coyle finished up with an impressive double – double ( 17 points, 11 rebounds ) and the 6’1 forward simply carried the ‘ Dins in the fourth quarter by scoring 11 down the stretch. Coyle set the table for Ervin and her Grand Finale in the closing seconds.
Wofford led most of the game but everytime the lead reached seven or nine, Ervin found an answer. When it happened again in the fourth quarter it was Coyle who said, ” Not on my watch”.
Furman University will now hunker down ahead of the pending storm as they are off until February 5th when league leading UT – Chattanooga comes to town.
Five of the seven regular season games left on the calendar 📅 will be played at Home 🏡.
The video 📹 of the basket 🧺 is available on ESPN for subscribers…
There were four more events originally planned for today and we see that the Girls Wrestling 👧 has been rescheduled. I will look to add more information on the remaining three as it becomes available.
****** All Events have been postponed, per Mr DeHaven…
Tough week for everyone involved with The Hill but say and 🙏🙏🙏 for the sanity of our Athletic Director, Kevin DeHaven as he is tasked with trying hard to find new dates 📅 for everything that cannot happen due to the weather.
So excited about Kristy Jones having some of her efforts to support ” Her Trenton ” and all of the West Long led Wrestlers land in The Carroll News !!! Kristy has been an absolute pleasure to work with all season 🙌 and I know how much her Children mean to her !
Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years gets a late add today as Katie Lam and Roanoke College bumps their game up one day in hopes of beating the weather.
Spartanburg, South Carolina is set to host a 6pm Eastern Tip for the two teams currently tied for second place behind UT – Chattanooga.. Alyssa Ervin and Furman University will make the Midway turn in no worse than third place but a win tonight would give them second place all to themselves !
Meanwhile, SWCC was scheduled to host Guilford Tech tonight but that has been removed in one spot so not quite sure. But we can tell you that Bryce Smoot picked up some court time recently and added a rebound to his total. Both of our Smoot Brothers are finishing up their first and only season in Cedar Bluff as the Community College has announced that they will be ending their Athletic program at the end of the school year.
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget fir the Day will appear here shortlyTravis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
1 Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Yesterday was Day 60 of 90 out here in the Desert 🏜, leaving us at the 2/3 Poll in our quest for helping my Doctor smile. The next lab work is set for March 9th in Laurel Fork and a great deal of progress has been made !
The goals were 1,350,000 Steps 🚶♂️ across the 90 Days with a minimum of 10,000 per day.
The total cleared 1,000,000 yesterday and now sits at 1,006, 124 !!!
The first of the four pairs of shoes 👞 to go down in the efforts. This is relevant because Travis Osborne mentioned how many shoes it would take to accomplish the goals.It’s working 💪 and while the weight loss is a nice bonus, the A1C # is where it shows the most!
Travis just sent in his Bible Verse so folks are waking ⏰ up back on The Hill. Stay warm and stay safe and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
Will close it out with a few pictures 📷 from yesterday in Cedar City, Utah
