Wednesday Night πŸŒ™ Hoops with Elijah Cox and his Wildcats teammatesΒ  host Virginia Southern University. Our Cavalier is in the starting lineup tonight !! Saved by the Bell πŸ””: The Cavalier College Years!

FloCollege has the game tonight and while not everyone has two extra hours to spare, I do and will do my best to describe the efforts from our oldest College Hoopster..

Wildcats trail 11-6 at 15:57, clock ⏰ stopped for injury..

Randolph enters the night πŸŒ™ at 3-5. Cox is in his Junior season and his second one in Lynchburg.

Three point swish from Cox ties πŸ‘” the game at 11-11. Cox enters the night averaging 10.0 points per game and has seen an increase in minutes played as of late.

For those who aren’t familiar with Randolph College, its a D3 program that is located in Lynchburg, Virginia and competes in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. The home Gymnasium is small, with a capacity of 400 but can get loud.

Wildcats leading 22-20 @ Media TO (9:59).

If you are a fan of offense, this is your kind of a game ! Both teams running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ up and down, hoisting plenty of 3’s.

Here for the evening so feel free to check back in later.

At the break, Wildcats leading 38-37 and Cox has 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist across 14 minutes of play ▢️.

Back from the break at 6pm sharp, 8pm in Virginia.

Why is Cox such a relevant piece of the Anthony Barnes story ? No one knows how long Coach Barnes will remain at Carroll County High School or how many players will move on to play at the next level but Cox will always be the first to play under Barnes on The Hill and then move on to do the same at College.

Cox has needed to retool his game at the collegiate level because 6’5 is massive in High School 🏫 but not so much in College. Going from playing with your back to the basket 🧺 to playing on the wing has been a challenge but so far so good.

Under 12:00 Media TO, Wildcats leading 58-57. Just a heads-up about FloCollege – they leave their πŸŽ€πŸŽ™πŸŽ€ hot πŸ”₯ during the breaks so you will hear plenty of background conversation.

Cox just drained another 3-Ball at 10:00 to spark a mini run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ, lead now 69-61

13-4 run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ across 3 minutes = 71/61!!

Shout out to the Family πŸ‘ͺ

SVU hits consecutive 3’s, lead down to four and Wildcats call TO at 6:48

SVU extends its run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ to 14-0 and Wildcats call πŸ“ž another TO at 5:06

Elijah picked up his 4th foul at 6:19 and didn’t return until 1:39. Cats down 86-82.

Entering game now has 0:53.3 left at the home team trails 90 -85. Cats 🐈 will need to foul down the stretch.

Southern Virginia University will head back up the road to B-Vista with a 95-87 victory over Randolph College.

Cox finished up with 25 minutes played, 8 points, 1 board and 1 assist πŸ‘

Taking a look see at the Women’s Basketball πŸ€ Top 5 and ask yourself what 2,3,4 & 5 have in common ? Later today, Elijah Cox ▢️ a Home Game versus Southern Virginia University !

After defeating Virginia Tech in their ACC opener, Kira Lawson and her Blue Devils are now 4-6. The team played four of those games versus 2,3,4 & 5 in the Nation.

Women’s Hoops at 2pm EST includes Furman University looking to reach .500 today down in Statesboro, Georgia.

Alex Cruz finished up with a second place finish yesterday and Trenton Newman earned a sixth place finish for West Long and Carroll County. The event was originally slated to stretch across two days but the winter weather shortened it to one very long one.

Congratulations to both of these young men on their spots on the Podium and to each Wrestler in the Kristy Jones Photo πŸ“· that spent their Saturday representing our School 🏫 !

Today is like a Holiday for me because Duke will receive its 12th Bowl Bid in my 62 years ! So later today we will find out where our destination will be later this month. Best Case scenario is the Pop Tarts Bowl πŸ₯£ in Orlando with the bottom end being Boston, Massachusetts. It’s a Fun Day that doesn’t happen all that often.

Yesterday afternoon, Glenvar High School continued its march towards winning the State Football Championship while the Lake Taylor Titans ended the run of Magna Vista in Tidewater. Grayson County had their impressive season end as well.

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ.
