CCHS adds another 8 and then holds James River to 6. The Knights TD came with just 0:22 left, yet the Cavaliers moved the ball all the way down to the edge of the Red Zone. It’s 24-14, and while the Knights have yet to stop ✋️ the Cavs, the clock ⏰️ did.. Halftime at 4:53 / 7:53…
JRHS scores fast as lightning 🌩 but cannot convert the PAT. 90 seconds is what it took but the Cavaliers answer with an amazing drive 🚗 that took 10 minutes of the game clock ⏰️. Added the 2 after converting the 4th down for the TD !!!
The lead is 32 – 20 with just 0:44 left in the 3rd quarter.

40 – 20 = 10 & 0
Make sure you check out the coverage from Ryan McCafferty at The Carroll News !
The opening play included our Miss Ervin stealing the ball from the visitors. But why was she stealing things from their guests ?????
Seriously though, Pierre Curtis and Company continue their help out thy neighbor program by inviting the smaller schools to come up and play basketball inside Timmons.
The lead is 17 – 10 after the opening quarter with Ervin making a pair of 3-pointers on her way to six points in six minutes.
The Warriors covered the 28-mile trek this morning with the hope of challenging the bigger program. These match ups normally end one of two ways and both Radford and the LSU women are recent examples of how bad it can be.
Buck outside the door 🚪wondering what is going on sooo early.Clare also has six early points as she looks to improve on her 19.0 scoring average.
SWU is a D2 school 🏫 that competes in the Conference Carolinas.
Kiddo has added a layup to push the total to eight points and then adds another 💣 from deep ! Now has 11 in the opening half.
Furman University will swim into the deep end of the swimming 🏊♂️ pool on Tuesday when they head down to Auburn University for a battle against the SEC Tigers 🐅.

Now a word from our sponsors…
Back for the 2nd half…..

75 – 31, midway through the 4th quarter, and Ervin has 15 points in 17 minutes of play. Not sure if she will play again or not today ???
77 – 38 (F)
15 points in 17 minutes on just eight shots = Efficient
Kudos to Coach as 10 players played at least 15 minutes !
Kyraha Parnell ( Galax ) did not see action, if she is injured, hopefully she will be back shortly !
Furman University Women’s Basketball opponent tonight.
None of these three games are going to be overly competitive tonight, but each one has a reason why we care…
Pierre Curtis and Furman look to bounce back at home, and with the men’s team playing afterward, there might be a few more folks inside Timmons !
Look for Coach to give his starters a few extra minutes in hopes of them finding their rhythm against a D2 foe from just down the road. The tip is set for 5pm
Elijah Cox and Randolph are on the other end of the playing a game from a team that is not playing at the same classification. This one is D3 at D1, so don’t look at the final score but focus on how our Mr. Cox holds up against bigger competition…
Your CCHS tie to Radford University !
Should be an interesting evening !
Check ✔️ back, early and often…
Solid first 20 minutes as the ‘Dins play 11 and have five score at least eight points !
Ervin dropped 🫳 11 in just 12 minutes while adding two rebounds and an assist.
5:50 PM
Kiddo had a very productive six minutes in the third quarter as she went 2 for 2 and snagged two rebounds ! One of the Hoops was from deep, now at 16 points.
11 players played double figures in minutes and five scored 10+! Nelson went 6 of 7 on the night 🌙.
Just what the doctor ordered, and they will do it again on Friday !
Next up, more Hoops !!!

Your middle final score…
Radford will play at Furman later this year.
Cox is having to sit after picking up his second foul early in the half, but the bench is really stepping up as it’s now 33-29
Norfolk State 35, Randolph 34 at the Half !!!! [9:07]
68 – 58 late in the second half with Cox up to six points and holding steady at 3 fouls. Great effort from Randolph College for the first 36 minutes !
73 – 60 at the final media TO ( under 4), looking to close strong 💪…
More art 🎨 from Travelers Rest !!!
Elijah adds a layup with just over 2:00 to play, now has 8 on the night 🌙
Wow !!!
Elijah finished up with 10 points and four rebounds and avoided his fourth foul !
This one counts as an exhibition for the Wildcats, and they ride home from Tidewater, should be an enjoyable one !
Bonus note 📝:
Bryce Smoot is still chasing the Dream as well !
Hope tonight was a fun read 📚 as for me, it was a fun watch !
The 6am flight ✈️ will be here before you know it !
Over the years, there have been many a trip over to Ferrum College and the Speedway nearby. Whether it was to watch a football game, support Dakota Walls Racing 🏁 or watch either Kaylee Bunn or Half Pint Harris play volleyball 🏐, I always think about the curtains or banners that hang on the walls of Schwartz Gym.
The three year run that included Carroll County High School grad Kayla Goins Nester is beyond impressive. 74-14 if my math holds up…
