John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
All five of our College Hoopsters have the evening off.
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget will appear here shortly :
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
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 🌙 at 3-5. Cox is in his Junior season and his second one in Lynchburg.
Three point swish from Cox ties 👔 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 🏃♂️ 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 🎤🎙🎤 hot 🔥 during the breaks so you will hear plenty of background conversation.
13-4 run 🏃♂️ across 3 minutes = 71/61!!
SVU hits consecutive 3’s, lead down to four and Wildcats call TO at 6:48
SVU extends its run 🏃♂️ to 14-0 and Wildcats call 📞 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.
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.
#Toughschedule
The league (ACC) is set up to be highly competitive once again as teams are ranked 12,19 and 22 this week
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 to the University of Virginia for winning game #1,000 !
Have Yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
In this dramatic scene, Marion Harris (far left) has to break the heart of Callie by telling her that she doesn’t get to play Basketball tonight. Callie then asks, Dad 👨, if I can’t play Basketball, can I have a pet Panther ?
No figurines were harmed in the making of this dramatic rendering.
Stay warm !
