Yesterday afternoon we wrote about the gathering of Soccer ⚽️ royalty that would be taking place during the scrimmage between Carroll County High School and Graham High School.

  Marion Harris relayed three of the pics in and the fourth one is of the school 🏫 calendar 📅, showing that all is quiet in the land of Cavaliers.

  The future of Ladies Soccer ⚽️ has some Top Shelf Ambassadors leading the way, with both Coaches being Carroll County success stories !

Enjoy your Day !

Adrienne Harris ( Class of 2019) and Kaylei Newman ( Class of 2020) grew up together, on and off the Soccer pitch at Tommy Thompson Field back in the day.

  Not only did the duo play the game at a very high level, they were followed in the game by a trio of younger siblings that did and our still doing for the Lady Cavaliers. How talented are the Harris and Newman sisters ? Last year Ashlyn Newman ( Class of 2024) broke the Cavs All-Time scoring record that had belonged to Adrienne for five years.

Fast Forward to tonight up in West Virginia, as the youngest of the five (Callie Harris) will lace up her cleats for her sister and new Head Coach, Adrienne Harris. Callie just received medical 🚑 clearance from the Doctor to play this morning 🌄.

Now, back to Miss Newman, a very impressive young woman 👧 who is currently working on her Masters after playing at Bluefield University up until last year when she finished earning degree #1.

The scrimmage is being played in the same Soccer park that Newman called home during her collegiate career. Her role this year is the one of Head Coach of the Graham High School 🏫 Co-Ed Junior Varsity soccer team.

The Newman led squad has 20 players, 12 boys 👦 and 8 girls 👧, with many being brand new to the game. They will compete with the revived Lady Cavaliers JV program. Carroll County had been without a JV squad for a few years due to a lack of numbers.

Harris – Newman (alphabetical order) has been the backbone of Carroll County High School soccer ⚽️ for what feels like forever. So it should be of little to no surprise that two of the five have already picked up the torch as Ambassadors to the game that brought them together over a decade ago. Somewhere, Marion Harris is leaning on the words of Golden Bears 🐻 Skipper, Lawrence Nesselrodt.

Ness has a motto of Leave it Better than you found it and while the second generation is just getting started, I think that they will find nothing but the back of the Net.

What sticks out about the Cavs schedule is the 11pm start time for JV Baseball ⚾️. I have heard about Midnight Madness before but not at the High School level ?

  The Softball scrimmage report is now complete with pictures 📷 and thoughts from Coach Nester, so if you haven’t already seen it, please do so.

Have yourself a Blessed Wednesday and we will share anything that comes are way !

“Not the traditional scrimmage.
They’re actually letting everyone bat every inning.”

More to follow…

From Coach Nester :

Cavalier Softball began its 2025 season tonight with a scrimmage against Wytheville. The girls played well in all parts of the game. They were fundamentally sound in pitching, hitting, and defense.

   They were many hard-hit balls put in play throughout the lineup. Both pitchers did an outstanding job with only one walk throughout the evening.

Defensively they played very solid. Throughout the game, there were many girls that were in different defensive positions than they played last year, and none of them seem to be overwhelmed at any time.

    I told the girls after the game that, even though they were girls playing different positions from last year, that athletes can play the game! And they played very well! We were very pleased with their effort and play tonight.

   A good day for the scrimmage maybe the warmest one I can remember.

Mrs Burress adds the ever so important post game handshake !
