Marion finds more County Pride !

Greg Talley headed down to Abingdon Saturday morning 🌄 with the JV & Varsity Boys 👦 Basketball 🏀 teams and sent us some notes & pictures 📷 of the Day!

Both teams made the trek down to Abingdon and were joined by Chilhowie for a round robin event.

Scoreboard shots –

38-38 was the Final score of the Chilhowie – Carroll County Varsity contest.

21-19 was the JV Final for CCHS vs Abingdon.

48-29 was another one of the four finals on the day.

Assistant Coach Kris Richardson checked in on the way home 🏡 from the day long festivities and discussed the number of different lineups the team used throughout the games in search of the best chemistry ⚗ on the court, which is exactly what the pre-season is about.

The teams will head back out on Tuesday for more scrimmages, this time heading up to East Montgomery High School 🏫.

Thanks to Greg Talley for the pictures 📷 and notes as well as Kris Richardson for the follow up !

Have yourself a Blessed Sunday !

P.S. – turns out that Appalachian State University is more than just a Field Hockey 🏑🏒 school 🏫 !

Some days there’s two or three places one might want to be but today the number is seven or eight!

In no particular order :
