Lynchburg – A college basketball 🏀 game has 40 minutes of regulation time and on Wednesday night Randolph College Junior Elijah Cox played just over 38 of them against Methodist University. The Wildcats picked up the hard fought victory but they needed all 40:00 to seal the deal.
Playing almost the entire contest is impressive enough but Cox ✔ every 📦 along the way !
17 Points scored
6 of 7 from 2
8 rebounds
3 Assists
1 Steal
The team returns to action 🎬 on Saturday down in Charlotte against Johnson and Wales at 1pm.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 on both the Win and the strong effort 💪
Still to follow : Boys Middle School 🏫 Basketball, Girls Middle School Basketball and Carroll County was well represented Wednesday night at Radford University as Alyssa Ervin returned to the Area.
Mississippi State University pilfered the University of Virginia Baseball program, then UVA did the same to Duke University and now we wait to see how Duke rebounds. Hopefully they can break the trend of hiring a current Head Coach that will trigger a complete rebuild.
Mississippi State is in a better position now to challenge for a Natty. Virginia is in a better position to play on as Big of a stage that the Atlantic Coast Conference. Duke is the next domino in this process.
Pollard left Appalachian State University for the opportunity to work his magic on a bigger stage. Coach put Duke on the baseball map but it wasn’t a quick fix as it took the better part of a decade.
Carla Williams, Athletic Director at UVA, did her job and then some by replacing a Icon of the game with a proven commodity in Pollard. Now its time for her Duke counterpart to do the same.
Things like this happen all the time in College Football with the most recent Big Time example was when Nick Saban retired from Alabama. The Crimson Tide plucked their next Head Coach from the Washington Huskies. UW had just fell to Michigan in the National Championship game but was forced into a near complete rebuild by the time the final domino fell.
Welcome 🙏 to the world 🌎 of Big Time College sports, it’s here to stay. But if you are a fan of College Baseball ⚾️, which I am, its a good thing to be on the front page of the Business section of the NCAA.
