Carroll is having a stressful night on the humanities wing. All-Around went down to the last question and ended with a Connor Beasley neg to lose to George Wythe.

Granddaughter Melody !

Carroll English, seeded 3rd, also came down to the last question and despite a solid run by Trenton Newman, Julia Largen, and Jack Wright, the last question still has us all scratching our head and left Carroll with a loss to Bland.

I’ll try to get a report from math and science.

They are on the other side of the building.

Double Connors is the lucky charm. Math is also having some alumni visitors.

Happy Leap Year Day, 2024 ! MACC coverage later ➕ a few tidbits.

Today is February 29th, which happens to take place every four years. I have never known someone that has 2/29 for a Birthday 🎂 but if I did, my first question would be do you have fun with it or is it just another thing?

Today we will go inside the MACC event, curtosey of Shannon Dalton. Their season is starting to wind down now and the team has enjoyed a great deal of success 👏. The action 🎬 will get started this evening and we will share it as it happens !

Today is a historic day for us as it pushes the current streak out to 200 straight ! One of the goals is to wake ⏰ up each day and try to improve someones day with a small piece of Positivity. Today we enter the land of crooked numbers on the scoreboard!!

Page 6 of the Sports section of this week’s Carroll News contains the first half of the story on the Cochran Family 👪. Now that Part 1 has seen the light of day, hopefully we can conclude the story by telling it through the eyes of the Family 👪 members !

Spring is on Deck and here’s our lineup card for coverage of our 11 teams. We have a few spots still available!

Head Coach Shawn Montgomery will be keeping us up to speed (Track term) on both his Boys 👦 and Girls 👧 Track & Field teams.

Greg Talley will be covering his Boys Tennis 🎾 program with a level of flair that only he can.

I will filling the pages with both Varsity Softball and JV Baseball coverage along with Kevin Burress and Velvet Leonard.

Marion Harris is our Soccer ⚽️ guru and he will be on top of the Pitch coverage for the Girls 👧 Varsity only in addition to keeping up with both the Varsity and JV Boys 👦 when he can track them down.

That leaves us with Girls Tennis 🎾 and both of our Baseball ⚾️ teams. On the Baseball side of things Coach DeHaven keeps in touch with the results but if anyone else involved with the Baseball side of things wishes to submit pics or thoughts we would welcome 🙏 it.

We would also love to have a connection to the Girls Tennis 🎾 program pop-up.

Anyone out there that wants to have a say in the amount of coverage their program receives should let us know.
