The highly decorated flyer tells us about all of the Hoops that will be played this Thursday, Friday and Saturday up at Virginia Tech. It also tells us to bring cash 💸 with us if we want to get inside Cassell Coliseum.

Before we get to Thursday let’s take a look at what we know about tonight’s double header.

On the Girls 👧 side our opponent is a very familiar face. Pulaski County had quite the run in Girls Class 4 over the past few seasons before moving down to Class 3 this year. The Cougars and the Cavaliers played a home & home series again this season with CCHS sweeping the set. The margin of victory was 15 and 16 but both of those games were played months ago.

Carroll County (20-3) and Pulaski County (13-10) have enjoyed a great deal of success recently and both teams play hard from end to end. Pride is a term that will be on display tonight and while the deck is stacked in favor of the home team, Coach Marc Motley will have our group ready to play. Our youngsters have grown considerably since the teams faced each other and I would believe that theirs have as well.

Pulaski County used two very different strategies against the Cavaliers earlier. Game 1 was to hammer away at Ervin and make her sink free throws. Back at their place they played a more conventional defense, sending help whenever possible. They stayed within reach of us both times.

We do know that Alyssa Ervin, Katie Lam, Madison Lyons, Sarah Alderman and Amie Delp will be playing their final basketball 🏀 game of their careers on The Hill. Once the dust settles on the final record there’s a decent chance that it will be the greatest four year run 🏃‍♂️ in the history of the school. The group of Seniors that graduated 🎓 last season also posted some unbelievable numbers.

Teams have a Senior Night 🌙 and a final regular season home game. Sometimes there’s a District Championship game but tonight truly will be the last dance 💃 for our five seniors.

Ervin enters tonight 25 points shy of 2,000. Our 5’11 Senior would be the first member of the 2,000 point club here at CCHS. 50+ years of School history now so creating a new club stands out a little bit more.

The Banner up top tells us about Thursday afternoon but first things first, lets enjoy the sendoff game tonight for the Class of 2024!
