Sugar Hollow Park in Bristol. It is hosted by Abingdon High School. – At the beginning of the year there was a question about this Wednesday in regards to which direction they would be heading for their next meet. Coach Montgomery let’s us know that the answer is Bristol with a meet hosted by Abingdon High School 🏫.
The second note 📝 comes from Coach Kevin DeHaven in regards to the District Volleyball tournament next week. The District site had Wednesday and Thursday listed but now we know its the normal Tuesday and Thursday.
Thanks to both of the gentlemen for taking the time to check in ! Greatly Appreciated….
Alleghany 9-1, Carroll County 8-3, Radford 7-3, James River 5-5, Glenvar 5-5, Floyd County 1-9, Patrick County 1-10.
_____________________________
Matches remaining this week :
Monday – Alleghany @ Floyd
Tuesday – Floyd @ Radford, Alleghany @ Glenvar and James River @ Patrick County
Thursday – Carroll County @ Radford, James River @ Glenvar
____________________________________
Alleghany clinches the Top Spot by winning either one of their two final matches and is set to host the #4 team next Wednesday 10/24
Carroll County will also host next Wednesday 10/25 if they defeat the Bobcats on Thursday night. If the Bobcats win they will host the Lady 👩 Cavaliers by virtue of a sweep.
Patrick County and Floyd County split their season series for their lone District victory and figure to finish tied for 6th place, baring a late season upset.
The tussle between Glenvar and a suddenly Red-Hot James River squad promises to be fun right down to the wire. Both teams are 5-5 and play each other on the last night 🌙 of the season at Glenvar. James River plays at Patrick County first while Glenvar hosts Alleghany.
Glenvar defeated James River 3-1 back on September 26th but since that match only Alleghany has bested the Knights and that took five sets. If Glenvar wins they earn the #4 seed and will play in the tournament next week at Alleghany. If James River wins after handling Patrick County they earn the right to face the AHS Cougars.
The dates of Tuesday10/24 & Thursday 10/26 per Coach DeHaven !
Both Monday & Tuesday are blank slates for Carroll County this week as Volleyball 🏐 has its final bye ahead of a Second Place Showdown up in Radford on Thursday night.
Coach Montgomery and his Band of Dedicated Runners 🏃♂️ head up to Blacksburg on Wednesday afternoon for their final regular season meet. After Wednesdays run 🏃♂️ the team will turn their attention to their Regional meet and if they find success there then the State meet.
Football 🏈 gets the week off before finishing up their season with two home games with Radford and Glenvar. Radford (8-0) has yet to play a game where their opponent stayed within 24 points so the Cavs will have their work cut out for them down the stretch.
There is Volleyball 🏐 action tonight over in Floyd County that pertains to Carroll County. Our Lady 👩 Cavaliers are 1.5 games behind District leader Alleghany heading into the Cougars match with Floyd. AHS(9-1) will clinch the regular season Championship with a victory tonight over the host Buffaloes (1-9) but if FCHS could find a way to pull off the upset it would keep Carroll County alive for a share of the Crown 👑.
Either way, the Varsity team has qualified for the District tournament next week. #1 vs #4 & #2 vs #3.
The Junior Varsity team will conclude their season at Radford on Thursday night 🌙.
Yesterday’s time out at Hillsville Elementary came with a very pleasant surprise – Corey Williams taking the time to introduce me to our latest addition to the Carroll County High School 🏫 Coaches group, Mr. West Long.
We were only able to sneak in a few minutes with Coach Long but I will admit that a number of his beliefs line up with ours ! Community is the common denominator and I look forward to watching our newest Coach take charge of the Wrestling Room.
Coach wrestled for CCHS back in the day (attempt to sound hip) so we know that he knows exactly what it takes to be successful in the Sport at the High School level.
