Anthony Barnes as Bill Murray in the Carroll County High School version of Groundhog Day ! Cavaliers spotted Bland an 18-4 lead in route to an 80 – 47 victory at The Fort on Monday night 🌙

Thank You to Samantha Lark – Smith, Kevin DeHaven and Bill Gallimore ❤

Corner #1 – The photo 📷 above shows the schedule for both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Cavaliers on Monday as the teams continue play in the Fort Chiswell Christmas tournament.

  On the flight ✈️ from St. George to Phoenix this morning 🌄, I 🖊🖋 a game story on the Varsity game but I didn’t have the thought process of Head Coach Anthony Barnes yet. I have it now and will share it with our readers.

”  Narrows returns the favor , they are well rounded and coached well as always. We continue to come out cold with no energy or intensity and dig ourselves a hole. I feel like we really turned it up in the third taking a 5 point lead, then the lost #1 and # 4 for them and they knocked down some big 3’s at the end. Game was very physical and we left some close shots and layups on the table.

    Usually when you put 3 guys in double digits you win, but with both teams evenly matched it comes down to stops, and execution and shots falling and it just didn’t happen for us in last 2 minutes of the game. Tough tournament to win any year, get up dust ourselves off and tip 5:30 against Bland and get after it. Go CAVS !”

Bland had a rough time versus Radford in their opening round contest, falling 88-19.

Carroll County JV Boys 👦play in their side of the tournament as well on Monday.

Let’s fill up the Gymnasium at The Fort !

Corner #2 – Alyssa Ervin and her Paladin teammates performed in a manor today down in the Swamp ( Florida) that kept them in the ball game until the fourth quarter.

Florida would eventually pull away but our All-Time scoring leader had herself a strong performance in her second start.

18 points across 33 minutes with two other numbers that popped. 5 rebounds and shooting 50% from the field = well rounded effort for our Sophomore !

Furman University returns home on Tuesday night for a game versus Brevard. Keep working 💪hard and keep smiling !!

Corner #3 : Kira Lawson led the Lady Blue Devils to a fourth straight victory on Sunday up in Syracuse. SU entered the contest with an 11-1 mark and home court advantage but Duke overcame an early deficit to secure the victory. After playing five of the Top Six teams in the Country, Duke is now over .500 and will host Boston College on New Years Day.

Phil Ford holding up four fingers back in the pre – shot clock ⏰ days, the 4th quarter belongs to New Mexico State University and its Pan American Center.

The Aggies Men were hosting the University of the Southwest ( Mustangs) and the home team hung on for a 104 – 33 victory.

The 12,482 seat 💺 Arena has two very significant banners hanging from the rafters and both are tied to the legendary Lou Henson. Henson also coached at the University of Illinois.

Here’s Coach Smith and the Goat 🐐 ➕ Matt Doherty.
