The Boys 👦 Basketball 🏀 team is playing a scrimmage at George Wythe and that means that Greg Talley will provide us an update afterwards.
The Group that I like to call The Jabin Talley Fan Club.
Four 20 minute frames are on the Agenda tonight between the Maroons and the Cavaliers, who are limited to just nine players tonight due to the other Fall Sports.
Coach Barnes will led who he has until Football and Cross Country have completed their seasons. GWHS takes the opening 20 minutes 37-18 and they’re right back at it now.
Mr.T will take us home the rest of the way and for that we are grateful 🙏
Mr. T sends in 8 more pictures 📷 and tells us the Boys 👦 Basketball 🏀 team plays at Home tomorrow night
Coach Richardson :
” Being young and inexperienced is tough when playing a good team. Give us our top 7, and I like our odds against most everyone.”
Davis Reitzel was busy at the Cross Country meet while the Smoot Brothers and Isiah Easter are all finishing up Football 🏈🏈🏈.
The Lady Cavaliers are set to start here at 4pm. Varsity Boys will be next, followed by the Middle School runners ( 5:30)🏃♂️.
Everyone will return here on November 1st for the Regional meet.
The first race 🏁 is set to start…
and then Finish.
Coach Montgomery will share all of his runners 🏃♂️ results once the Meet has concluded.
This meet is well attended and the Park provides a great background !
The Ladies are set to get their race underway !
Starting Gun 🔫 sounds at 4:11 pm
Some of the Varsity Boys 👦 ahead of their Start time.
The Leader of the first race. Was able to catch all three of the Lady 👩 Cavaliers during the race.
In the order they ran past my spot.
Makes perfect sense to have the Runners 🏃♂️ get an advanced look at the Loop used for Regionals
Absolutely 💯% Love 💘 the positive reinforcement that the runners 🏃♂️ receive from their Friends and Family 👪… Ladies are on their second and Final Loop
For a group of runners 🏃♂️ to qualify as a team there has to be a minimum of five in the race. These 3 dedicated young Ladies compete each and every time knowing that they aren’t considered an OFFICIAL team. The same is true for the three Middle School 🏫 Boys 👦 that run as well.
The six of them are a great example of a Student Athlete….
Please check back later as Coach will share ALL of our results once they’ve been calculated.
The next challenge will be finding where I parked the car as a great deal of steps have been walked since it was parked.
The Boys 👦 are now crossing the Dam

On the Television 📺 side of things tonight at 8pm is Game #4 of the WNBA Championship Finals as the Las Vegas Aces will once again try to close out the New York Liberty 🗽. NY looks to even the Series and force a Winner 🏆take all Game #5 back in Vegas on Friday night.
The two remaining Matches in league play promise to be exciting with the Glenvar – James River contest being the equivalent of a District Tournament play-in game.
Both teams will enter the contest at 6-5 meaning the team that falls short will land at 6-6. The winning team will land at 7-5, earning a road trip out to Alleghany High School 🏫 next Tuesday evening.
The other match will take place between Carroll County and Radford, both currently sitting at 8-3 ahead of the Bobcats hosting the Cavaliers.
The two teams will play again five days later with Thursdays winner hosting their opponent.
10-2 belongs to Alleghany
. 9-3 will be the Radford – CCHS winner
8-4 to the team that falls in that match.
. 7-5 goes to JRHS – Glenvar winner
. 6-6 goes to the team that doesn’t
. The ever so rare 10-9-8-7-6 finish shows just how competitive the league has been all season. Each of the Top 5 finished 4-0 against Floyd County (1-11) and Patrick County (1-11). Fortunately those two squads split their matches with each other, keeping someone from finishing 0-12.
Alleghany losses – CCHS & Glenvar
Carroll losses – Alleghany, JRHS & Radford
Radford losses – Alleghany (2) & JRHS
Glenvar defeated James River 3-1 last month, right before the Knights caught fire 🔥. After finishing the first half 2-4 they have won four of five with the sole loss being to Alleghany in five sets.
Two great matches are set to be played Thursday night in the I-81 corridor. Carroll County looks to revenge a Home 🏡 five set defeat against the Bobcats. Coach Edwards and her Lady Cavaliers will get to host on the Hill next Tuesday night 🌙 if they can accomplish this tomorrow night. A dozen or so exists up the freeway James River will look to go 5-1 over the second half against the Highlanders.
It’s worth noting that Alleghany (6-0 first half, 4-2 second) fell to Glenvar 3-1 last night as part of two matches played on consecutive nights. First the Cougars played Monday night at Floyd before returning to the Highlands for School on Tuesday then driving over to Glenvar and then returning home.
318 School 🏫 Bus 🚌 miles in just over 24 hours for the Cougars. But they can now stay Home for the next few matches, possibly as many as four.
Carroll County is the only team that made the Trek up there during league play and returned home with a W. Something that the Lady 👩 Cavaliers hope to get another shot at next week.

Alleghany was slotted in Region 3C, opposite of Carroll County in 3D. This leaves the Cavaliers as the only Three Rivers District team playing in Region 3D.
