Wytheville – Zari Cushman scored 10 of her season high 21 points in the opening 6:00 and the Lady 👩 Cavaliers never looked back on their way to a 31-17 victory over Scott Memorial Middle School Wednesday night.
One day after a spirited effort at Patrick County, where CCMS fell just short, Coach Kris Richardson and his team earned its second victory of the season.
” Finally, I’m home before 10 pm and finally we got a victory,” said Richardson. ” Hats off to these girls for continuing to work hard. Perseverance pays off when you believe in the process and believe in each other. Great overall team win. We play tomorrow at home against Radford.”
Thank You to Craig Bowman 🙏Halftime score….
The Lady 👩 Cavaliers avoided the slow start that has plagued them for most of the season, cruising to a 23-3 lead at the break and then holding on for the victory. Briley McGhee added eight points and Kierra Robinson scored the remaining basket 🧺 to round out the scoring.
The offense was limited to just three players but the impressive defensive effort went across the board.

Stuart – Zari Cushman exploded for 13 second half points for the Lady 👩 Cavaliers at Patrick County Tuesday night but the Cougars held on for a 36-32 victory.
Cushman scored 10 of her game high points in the third quarter as Carroll County turned a 16-9 deficit into a 26-25 lead with 6:00 left to play.
Patrick County rallied late in the game to earn the hard fought victory, leaving CCMS Head Coach Kris Richardson with dualing thoughts about the efforts he received from his team.
” We continue to play hard but we just cant seem to turn it into wins,” said Richardson. ” We were down 6 most of the game before we tied it up with around 3 minutes left. Too many mental mistakes late in the game along with shooting 6-21 from the free throw line. We look to continue to improve.”
Cushman had plenty of company in the scoring column as six other Lady Cavaliers scored at least two points. Kierra Robinson was next with five points, Briley McGhee netted four while both Jenna Bowman and Natalie Dalton added three each. Both Maddie Carico and Macy Lineberry finished up with 2 points.
The team will return to action 🎬 on Wednesday at Scott Memorial Middle School in Wytheville.
Carroll County MS 5 4 17 6 – 32
Patrick County MS 6 10 9 11 – 36
We hope to have a gamer up for the Boys 👦 Basketball game before too long.
