Even after his team ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in eleven of its first ball games, Kris Richardson never questioned whether the young Girls he was coaching were moving in the right direction.
Fast Forward to Thursday night against Patrick County and you will find a Lady 👩 Cavalier team that has won four of its last five games ! Defensively, they limited PCMS to just two points after intermission and offensively the team did more than enough to claim another victory.
Open shots for either team were hard to come by, from start to finish.
Patrick County MS 5 2. – 7
Carroll County MS 13 7 – 20
The score is shown by halves instead of quarters for the time being. It’s my understanding that back home we dealt with bad weather overnight and that means that Kris and his fellow VDOT staff will be keeping odd hours until things get back to normal.
We will circle back to finish up this story once we hear from Kris.
Meanwhile, we just received word from Mr DeHaven that ALL seven of the events on the books 📚 for today have been postponed !
Ladies final: 20-7, Cavalier win! Way to go Ladies!
Four out of Five in the “W ” column !!

We could have labeled it a quadruple header as the Duke University Women play their first game of the season without us in the building.
Another Top #5 opponent in Louisiana State University awaits.

Varsity falls 65-36…
Thanks Jerey the final score was 65-36. We had too many turnovers and didnt make open shots when we had them . Raylee Goins had 14 points and Callie Harris had 8 points. Our team had 11 offensive rebounds this does show some good effort. We will work on doing a better job taking care of the ball.
Thank You Coach Mayo !
Junior Varsity rolled to a convincing victory and their Head Coach shared her thoughts :
” The 2025 JV Girls CCHS delivered a commanding 41-14 victory over Pulaksi at home, improving their perfect record to 1-0. The team showcased their depth and talent in a dominant performance that saw them control the game from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
” CCHS came out firing in the first quarter, jumping to an impressive 11-1 lead that set the tone for the entire contest. Kate Holderfield got the scoring started early and Milli Parker added four points to help establish the early advantage. The team never looked back, extending their lead to 19-4 by halftime behind strong contributions across the roster. Milli Parker was particularly effective in the second quarter, adding six more points including perfect free throw shooting.
The second half saw continued excellence from CCHS, with different players stepping up in each quarter. Hayden Heflin had a stellar third quarter, contributing four points while shooting an efficient 60% from the field (3-5 FG) for the game. Kate Holderfield capped off her outstanding performance in the fourth quarter with a three-pointer, finishing as the game’s leading scorer with 15 points on 5-15 shooting, including a perfect 1-1 from beyond the arc.
” The balanced attack was a key to the victory, with five players contributing significantly to the scoring effort. Milli Parker added 10 points with perfect free throw shooting (4-4 FT), while Madison Adkins, Maeli Parker, and Hayden Heflin each chipped in valuable points. The team’s ability to maintain their intensity throughout all four quarters, outscoring Pulaksi in each period, demonstrates the depth and determination of this talented squad as they continue their undefeated start to the season.”
Varsity Girls 👧 Basketball 🏀
That brings us to the Junior Varsity and Varsity Boys 👦. These Cavaliers opened there regular season at Pulaski County High School. This creates an issue because PCHS doesn’t participate in the Network. Normally, its watching 👀 Anthony Barnes and his squad on-line but tonight I will be dependent on hearing from Coach.
Check back later and hopefully we will have more.
Here its McNeese State 17-10 with 2:20 remaining in the first quarter. 22-18 after one, in favor of the 🐄girls…
Lin stayed home 🏡 to watch the 2nd half of her version of the Blue Devils and should be in a good mood when I return.
Halftime score – 🐄Girls 37, Trailblazers 27..
