The Hill – Carroll County Middle School Girls Basketball returned home fresh off a road victory on Wednesday and doubled down by defeating Radford Thursday night, 32-23.
” Looking more and more like the team I thought we were going to be this year,” said Head Coach Kris Richardson. “Confidence in each other and finally more confidence in themselves. We play Monday and Tuesday next week. Hopefully, we can continue on this high we are enjoying right now. “
Zari Cushman dropped 10 of her game high 21 points during the opening 6:00 and the team never looked back.
Briley McGhee scored seven of her eight points early on and Kierra Robinson added the final basket 🧺.
Next week will look like a quiet stretch for Carroll County as the team only has two games on the calendar 📅.
Junior Varsity Head Coach Halie Cushman shared her thoughts on the efforts she received from her group in their scrimmage…
From Coach :
All of our girls played great. It gave us a good look to see our strengths and areas of growth to start doing work in. I’m so proud of the girls and the energy they brought to the court 👏
Varsity Coach Howard Mayo checks ✔ in
” I think we can really see where we are getting better at handling the ball and attacking the basket. Our defense showed some good signs with our rotations. Hopefully we will continue to work hard and get better.”
Not sure who all we will here from tonight but we will gladly share everything that comes out way.

Bulls leading 39-29 @ the half.
Duke is struggling from 3 (0-6), FG (37%) and FT (9/15-60%), hence the 10 point deficit. White out game for the Bulls = Free T-shirts 👕…
I think we can really see where we are getting better at handling the ball and attacking the basket. Our defense showed some good signs with our rotations. Hopefully we will continue to work hard and get better – from Howard Mayo 🙏
After 3rd, Bulls 63-46 over Duke (24-17 in the 3rd)….
Duke will fall to 3-3 with the next two games against Top 5 teams over the Thanksgiving holidays.Thank You to everyone who helped out along the way !!!
Wytheville – Sam Johnson led the way for Head Coach Darian Brown and the Middle School Cavaliers by scoring a team high 13 points but the team could not overcome a balanced attack by the homestanding Scott Memorial Middle School.
SMMS scored 22 points in each of the halves and that proved to be just enough to escape with a 44-36 victory.
Five Cavaliers dented the scorebook on the night as Trenton Poe added eight points while Gibson Barr totaled seven. Grant Reed (5 points) and Caleb Hill (3 points ) rounded out the scoring for Carroll County

Hopefully, we can circle back and add some thoughts from Coach Brown 🙏 later today.
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.
