Coach Paxton Berrier and a dedicated team of Students accompanied something on Saturday at Carroll County High School 🏫 that has earned them a trip to Colonial Williamsburg on March 1st.

Hosting the Regional tournament and having earned the #2 seed for their efforts this season, the Cavaliers held serve and earned the Runner Up trophy 🏆despite competing without three of their Students due to other Regional events being played at the same time.

The first piece of business is to congratulate the entire group and the roster has 14 names on it.

Bradley Dalton and Ethan Edwards were at the Swimming 🏊‍♂️ meet and Trenton Newman was competing at the Wrestling meet at Staunton River High School.

Conner Beasley, Cameron Cooke II, Cameron Crockett – Brown, Caylee King, Julia Largen, Zoe Martin, Joseph Rash – Roward, Jacob Roberts, Sadie Spence, Jacob Talbert and Terry Woods II all gave of their time to compete for their Coach, Principal Chuck Thompson and their classmates

Mr Kevin DeHaven, seen here holding the 🏆🏆, was on site to welcome the other Schools and oversee the event.

Not only would I like to say Congratulations to Coach Berrier and the entire team, I would also like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to describe their take on Saturday and / or the upcoming trip to Williamsburg.

There are a number of impressive stories to be told about the efforts of our Cavaliers today and if I ever make it back home 🏡, I will start the typing !

Thank You to Kevin DeHaven, Shannon Dalton and everyone who I met at the School today before heading out.

Region champions in 200 Medley Relay and 400 Free Relay !!!!

It’s not very often that one School is competing in three Regional meets in one day but that’s where we are today.

Wrestling is on its way to Staunton River, Swimming 🏊‍♂️ is on their way to Christiansburg and here on The Hill we are hosting the Scholastic Bowl.

Our Academic correspondent, Mrs Shannon Dalton is on her way to Christiansburg with her Son and the Swim team. This is relevant because I was going to frame up whichever event she would not be at.

Hence, I will do my very best to write ✍ about what is going to take place here today and while I can pen 🖊 most stories with my eyes 👀 closed, this one will very much be learn as you go!

Ten teams were set to compete today but Magna Vista was forced to drop out as two of their five players have become ill.

The format is a carbon copy of Basketball with the opening round being play-in matches.

7 vs 10

8 vs 9

The second round will be the quarterfinals : 8/9 vs 1, 7/10 vs 2, 3 vs 6 & 4 vs 5.

Taking a look at the roster for Carroll County, there are 14 Cavaliers that compete on the team. Two of the team members are with the Swim 🏊‍♂️ team ( Ethan Edwards and Bradley Dalton) and one is with Coach Long ( Trenton Newman), leaving 11 available.

From that list, six are chosen to compete with four playing at all times. Players five and six are eligible to be subbed in when needed.

Everyone here has been incredibly helpful in helping me create the framework for this day long story.

Four different places inside of the School 🏫 will be used after the opening round. The Library, 111, 102 and 236.

Today is a big day on the Academics side of the building and we hope to do the day justice ⚖.

Please check back as often as you like !
