Please, Mother (Nature), can our Cavaliers come out and Play today ? Please…

Six of the eight teams that compete in the Winter months are chomping at the bit to return to action 🎬 and all of them need to go at least to Exit 114 on Interstate 81.

Both Swim πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ teams are set to complete at their Regional meet tonight at the Big Pool in Christiansburg. Tickets 🎟 to be punched to the State meet are on the line for the Cavaliers.

Just a mile or so down the road the Varsity and Junior Varsity Girls πŸ‘§ Basketball πŸ€ teams look to play at Christiansburg High School. The Varsity team will host Glenvar back on The Hill Friday night as well.

48 more miles up the Highway, the Boys Varsity team will look to clinch at least a tie πŸ‘” in the Three Rivers District Championship against James River. The Junior Varsity team will return to action in the Auxiliary Gym at 5:30.

The buses are all set to go North by Northeast, just need Mom πŸ‘© to sign our permission slips !

With the need for makeup games pushing the Calender to the eve of Regional tournament games, there will be no one game District tournament Championship tilt.

Thank You to Mr. DeHaven for confirming what appeared obvious to the eye! As the District will need every available day left between now and February 21st to get regular season games played, there will not be a One game District tournament.

Today was originally set to be the end date of the regular season but the latest group of postponements now has the Schools 🏫 usingΒ  the entire window of available dates πŸ“….

Stayed tuned for further information as Mother Nature dictates.

If Tuesday was about Snow ❄ in the Hills, Wednesday is about Ice 🧊 in the trees 🌳 and on the power lines.

Here’s what we know about Wednesday at this point, there’s no School today and the only thing that was / is on the schedule for today is Boys Basketball at Radford High School.

Marion Harris was able to add that the Swimming πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ meet from Tuesday night has been moved to Thursday night πŸŒ™

The difference between a few degrees on a day like today is humongous so its easy to think warm. On a personal note πŸ“, the power out here has flickered a number of times this morning – Ice is not our friend.

If anymore updates become available we will add it right here.

There’s snow ❄ in them there Hills on a Tuesday morning πŸŒ„…Girls Basketball πŸ€ moved to 2/20 and will become Varsity only. No word yet on Swimming.

Bill Gallimore was the first to inform me that our Just Say No plan was flawed as he reported three inches or so out his way. I’m not sure how much is out our window but I’m sure its going to get worse before it gets better.

Once again, the Girls Junior Varsity team will lose an opportunity to play a game together as the makeup game for tonight will be next week and be Varsity only.

When the schedule πŸ“… was originally released it was designed to have the regular season end tomorrow. But the amount of games that had to be pushed back forced games to be slated in the dormant window between the end of the season and the beginning of the Regional tournaments.

The Girls πŸ‘§ JV has lost opportunities to teams because they don’t have JV ( Martinsville and Glenvar) plus one to team illnesses and now at least one to late season scheduling.

The big question now is whether or not we can catch a break with the weather forecast going forward. The remainder of the week is full of games waiting to be played and that will depend upon the next 24 hours.

Say a πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ for the VDOT crews that will switch over to Around the Clock ⏰ shifts in hopes of keeping us safe. Probably wouldn’t hurt to say one for Kevin DeHaven as our Athletic Director continues to try and put square pegs into round holes.
