Year #2 of the College career for Elijah Cox has the former Carroll County High Cavalier playing his home Basketball 🏀 games in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Cox became the first player from the program under Head Coach Anthony Barnes to sign to play Basketball at the next level. The 6’5 Big Man averaged 5.3 points his freshman year playing at Mid-Atlantic Christian and will look to build on that this season while playing in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.
Christiansburg High School 🏫 ended the Volleyball 🏐 season for Carroll County in the Region Quarterfinals and the Blue Demons finished their run through the Championship by defeating #3 Lord Botetourt and then surprising Top Seed Hidden Valley.
Both teams will now advance to the Elite Eight of the State Tournament with CHS(22-3) playing at home and Hidden Valley (26-2) on the road.
Any list of must see Arenas of mine would include Cameron Hall at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia.
My life-long Love 💘 for all things Military might have a heavy influence on this fact but the Ceremonial part of the evening is worth the price of admission.
If I am residing on the East Coast during Hoops season then getting to a VMI home game is a must. Tonight they are hosting a tiny school 🏫 from Front Royal, Virginia called Christendom. The Crusaders campus is located just a few miles from our decade long Home Office 🏢.
Tonight we have a contest that involves Basketball 🏀, Religion and Our Military !!! A Trifecta of reasons to enjoy the next couple of hours.
Kansas – Michigan State and Duke – Kentucky 👀 highlight the national scene tonight on ESPN but for now they all take a back seat 💺 to the Keydets and the Crusaders because somethings just matter that much.
VMI 21-6 after 4 minutes ➕ has the place rocking already…..
The Crusaders only have 8 players in uniform tonight and VMI loves to push the tempo so it could get interesting…
Half-time Score – VMI 51, Christendom 25. Impressed by the efforts 👏 of the Crusaders unit….
7:38 pm…
Under 16 Timeout – VMI 62-37, Crusaders won 🏆 that segment, 12-11… playing against a full court press.
