The challenge of writing ✍ about our resident Basketball 🏀 guru is finding something original about this Amazing young Lady 👩.
Alyssa Ervin pictured here with both sets of her Grandparents.
The easiest thing to type out is that Ervin is what we call a Generational Talent but I’m willing to add that she is also what we can call a Ten Year Athlete. It won’t become clear just how skilled the 5’11 Hoopster actually is until we are looking back at her time on The Hill.
Both her High School 🏫 Coach (Marc Motley) and her long time AAU Coach Ed Robtison were part of the ceremony as well.
Elon University is about to receive a hard nosed, fearless Basketball 🏀 player. For those of us that were fortunate enough to get to come along on the ride during the past four years will forever cherish the memories 💙.
Katie Lam and Alyssa Ervin…
Looking back now at the Group of Five its easy to see the common denominater is Commitment. These five Student Athletes are all able to continue their playing days beyond The Hill because of their years of giving their sport of choice a great deal of effort & Love.
Mix in the Teachers that prepared them to attend College, the Coaches that helped in raising their level of play and a support system amongst their Family 👪 and Friends.
Today was a Celebration that should not stop at the folks in the Photos. The number of people that played a roll in their success should be spread around our Community !
Now we have five more Alumni that we can follow on their journey ! There’s no such thing as too many of those….
Pictured here with Katie is her Family 👪 and recently retired CCHS Coach Marc Motley.
Katie Lam is set to take her Basketball 🏀 game up to Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia this fall. Lam will forever be linked to the greatest run in Carroll County Sports history.
Roanoke College is a Division III school 🏫 that competes in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). The opportunity to grow both academically and on the Basketball 🏀 court awaits this young Lady just 71 miles up I – 81.

Carla Flaherty will take the baton from Coach Motley in the roll of guiding this determined young Lady as she goes forward in her playing career.
On the list of duties that our resident Angel 😇 performs, the little known fact that Vickey Ritchie sweeps up behind me in regards to spelling and grammar. Tonight she’s a contributing correspondent, in her “spare time “.
