Chorus was awesome, a lot of talent on stage tonight. It was definitely a change of pace for us !!!
.
Thanks to Marion for sharing a little taste of the evening and if anyone else out there wants to do the same Please reach out !
Not sure why I am so happy with this Sign, maybe because its the only one I’ve ever seen ?
Last night 🌙 ended with a photo 📷 of this pair so its fitting that tonight begins with the same Coaching Duo from Floyd County. Monday night was by design to show some kindness in the direction of Sherry Slaughter and Friends but tonight was a positive stroke of Luck!
Our Lady 👩 Cavaliers Volleyball 🏐 team has the night off but Tuesday is Volleyball night so there was three choices – Alleghany @ Glenvar, James River @ Patrick County or Floyd County @ Radford….
Normally when I have to make a tough call I just let Kris Richardson tell me where to go but we all know how busy BossMan stays so I just chose to wing it.
My fourth Senior Night 🌙 out of a possible seven in the District. The 20:00 countdown clock ⏰ wasn’t started until 5:30 so we will start closer to 6pm tonight.
Marion Harris reached out earlier today with some Big News for Callie and the Family 👪. It turns out that the youngest of the trio of daughters will have a solo effort tonight 👏 as the Chorus performs on the Hill! We are hoping to hear from Marion later tonight with his take on the evening. Already looking forward to seeing that come across.
Our Friend Kevin Burress is patiently awaiting the schedule 📅 for this weekend as his Lady 👩 Swat Softball U-14 team will be playing in their final event for the Calender year up in Dublin at Randolph Park. I am little bummed on the timing as we will be in Tallahassee this weekend. We won’t be able to see them play in person but hope to share as much about the tournament as possible.
Getting ready to start the Volleyball 🏐 here and we will keep an eye 👁 on other things as the Bobcats and Buffaloes tangle.
It’s almost like Mama Petty is in the building !
First Serve at 5:55
The opening set was quite possibly the most balanced set I’ve seen this year at any level.
Floyd County prevails 25-23 and six of the points went back and forth forever or so it seemed. Buf🐃 went on a 10-2 run 🏃♂️ that took the score from 5-7 to 15-9 and hung on for the Win (6:21)

5:30 is the start time for the JV Match and then the Senior Night festivities before the Varsity match with visiting Alleghany High School 🏫.
Time to go inside and Cheer on the JV team and their Coach!
Two more notes 📝 ahead of the match – It’s Senior Night for Floyd County and if the Lady 👩 Buffaloes could pull of the Varsity upset it would keep Carroll County alive for half of the regular season Title. An Alleghany victory seals the deal for the newly formed Cougars.
Let the JV Match begin !
Game #1 started out back and forth early, with the teams tied at 11-11.
Alleghany went on an 11-3 run 🏃♂️ from there but Floyd County wouldn’t go away.

Alleghany hosted Carroll County on their Senior Night 🌙 and made it a point to include the Cavaliers Seniors as part of the Ceremony. Classy Act!
Fast forward to Carroll County and their Senior Night 🌙 when they hosted Floyd County. The Lady Buffaloes received Gift 🎁 Bags 🎒 and were acknowledged by Carroll County that evening.
Tonight Floyd County brought it Full Circle 🔵 by doing the same for the Alleghany Seniors!
A kind thing to do with minimal cost…. something that should be part of things going forward……
