Region 3B – Meridian and William Monroe
Region 3C – Western Abremarle and Spotswood
Region 3D – Northside and Carroll County High School 🏫 Cavaliers
We will be facing one of the other six listed above next Tuesday night 🌙. The location will depend upon which four teams win and which four do not.
The Regional Semi 🚛 Final was destined to come down to the wire and it did just that.
We start the timer at 2:30 remaining because that is when Cody Reece picked up his fourth foul. Shortly after, Cave Spring scored on a lay-up to push their lead to 58-55. The dream season was titering on the brink when the clock ⏰ struck 2:00 remaining and that’s when the Cavaliers put it into overdrive !!!
1:59 – Isaiah Easter drove to the basket 🧺 for two and a foul shot. The Junior missed the free throw but Reece forced a jump ball. Bryce Smoot scored a bucket and on the defensive end CCHS drew a charge.
We entered the final minute leading 59-58 and coming out of a timeout, Bryce Smoot made the play of the season with a steal and a lay-up. Now down 3, Cave Spring forced up a quick triple. After that miss, Bryce connected on two free throws to push the lead out to five and Easter would add the final point on a late free throw.
With their season on the line, Anthony Barnes coached his team to a 9-0 close out and a 64-58 victory !!
Bryce (six points) and Isaiah (3 points) took care of the scoring and all five Cavaliers contributed to the ZER0…
Cave Spring drilled 3 triples in the early stages of the fourth quarter but only managed two field goals the rest of the way. Four points scored over the final 4:07.
The Cavaliers Express will now roll on with a game Saturday afternoon and another Tuesday night 🌙.
Carroll County closed the contest out on a 9-0 run 🏃♂️, with Bryce Smoot accounting for six of the nine.
Allen will have thoughts from Head Coach Anthony Barnes, Bryce Smoo and Ethan Richardson in his story!
