Tammy Quesenberry has sent in a progress report from the Indoor Hitting Center !
Elon University is set to play a rare 11am game back 🏡 which is 8:00 am out here so it made me think of Breakfast at Tiffany’s but I’m aging myself with that reference.
Shannon Dalton and I were able to share a laugh about an intellectual Nugget that we left for our mutual friend, Vickey Ritchie ! Bonus points to her if she finds it!!!
The only contest last night 🌙 where we didn’t hear anything about was the Girls JV Basketball game. If there’s anyone out there that cares ❤ to share please 🙏 let me know…
Elon University had a lead after the 3rd quarter but Furman closed out the contest with a 23-15 4th.
Ervin played four minutes and picked up a Block according to the stat sheet. Patience is key early on !
Had a good first match last night, won two out of three matches. We have some work to do obviously but I’m super proud of these athletes and the work they are putting in!
I’ve not been shy about saying how tough this team can be and I stand by it.
Big tournament this weekend at Hidden Valley then the first home match on next Wednesday. Dec. 11.
Ethan Richardson doesn’t just compete in 3 High School Sports, the 5’11 Senior is excelling in Basketball, Tennis and Swimming. We won’t know his final numbers in his career until he graduates next Summer but he will have created some numbers across the board.
Six years have passed since Adrienne Harris graduated Carroll County High School and the current Girls Soccer Coach might have been the last Cavalier to play at an elite effort in more than one sport.

Having a Student Athlete play three or more Sports in a year is not an uncommon thing nowadays. Last year both Sarah Alderman and Davis Reitzel managed four each but being one of these very Best at what you do is in a class of its own.
Being the sole member of a club – like the 1,000+ Dig Club in Volleyball 🏐 in the history of the CCHS program says even more. Holding the School scoring record in another Sport until late last season is another significant achievement.
Richardson is just getting started in his Senior season of Basketball and Swimming ahead of Tennis in the Spring, so we won’t know his final resting place in regards to the All-Time Greats of Carroll County.
But know that the common denominator between Student Athletes like Richardson and Harris is giving everything you have into everything you do !
