Is it possible to be equally excited about covering a College Basketball 🏀 game in Paris, France 🇫🇷 and a Middle School 🏫 Basketball game ?
The answer is YES, because its Kris Richardson coaching his initial game for the Carroll County Middle School Girls Basketball team.
Tuesday evening at 5pm is the start time for the season opener against Scott Memorial Middle School 🏫. While I’m pretty sure that Coach Lawson has plenty of tape on the Baylor University Bears 🐻 but I don’t know if Coach Richardson has the same level of data on SMMS.
The Roster :
Zari Cushman,
Jenna Bowman,
Briley McGhee,
Ashlynn Smith,

Bella Phipps
Kierra Robinson
Mattie Carico

Bristol Jones,

It would be wrong to not mention that the season opener for the Lady Cavaliers brings the loss of beloved Coach Jeff Tobler full circle. While it has been almost a full calendar year since we said our way too soon goodbyes to Coach Tobes, his passing came as the Basketball season was wrapping up last year.
Yes, truly excited about heading to Paris for the season opener next Monday night 🌙 but just as excited about heading to The Hill for the season opener against Scott Memorial Middle School 🏫.!!!

It seemed like it was just yesterday that I walked into the Auxiliary Gym and saw Nikki Heflin and Sheila Harris working 💪 out the Junior Varsity team yet tonight it was time to say our Goodbyes 👋 to our JV players..
To start this final story with anything other than how elegant the three members of the JV team 💙 spoke about their Coaches during a pre-match ceremony would be an injustice. Kudos to the team for creating 👏 a tug at your heart ❤ moment that I believe that both Ladies will cherish…
In regards to the actual match, our Lady 👩 Cavaliers pushed the visiting Knights into extra points before falling 26-24.
Morgan Osborne ⚓ anchored the service line from 13-16 until 18-16 and Aubrey Hanshaw tied the set at 20-20 with an Ace – pictured above.
Scarlett Dalton landed an Ace to get Carroll County to set point at 24-23 but James River strung together three straight points to take the set, 26-24.
Carroll County trailed 12-6 when Paige Ogle and Hanshaw teamed up on a 4-0 run 🏃♂️. The Lady Cavaliers capped their comeback when Osborne landed an Ace and Aaliyah Hampton finished up a point to make it 14-14.
James River closed out the match with an 11-2 run, making the final score 25-16.
Now the season is over and the eight Sophomores will work on their games in hoping 🙏 to play on the Varsity team next year. The trio of Freshman and 8th graders have plenty of Volleyball 🏐 left in their futures !
Thank You Nikki Heflin and Thank You Shelia Harris for coaching up this group of youngsters ! Job Well Done !!!
