Looking back on a Tuesday night against Floyd County, one game at a time. Starting with our JV Girls falling 29 -19 @ Floyd…

Now 7 – 2 on the season

I am not sure how many times over my six years in Carroll County that we played four Basketball games and were swept by our opponent. Tuesday night we went 0 for Floyd County and while it would be easy to just say, glad thats over and move on.

But our players still played hard, our Coaches were doing their best and the parents were in the stands cheering their Kiddos on. It wasn’t all for not and I will do my best to point out the bright spots.

Carroll County… 2Β Β  9Β Β  4Β Β   4Β  – 19

Floyd County…… 7Β  11Β  11Β  0Β  – 29

CCHS – Rylee Woodard 10, Milli Parker 5, Malei Parker 4.

Opening Jump

Playing their second game without having Kate Holderfield in the lineup dueΒ  to an ankle injury, Carroll County faced a much more aggressive team than Cave Spring on Monday night

Rylee Woodard scored the first basket 🧺 on her way to a team high 10 points on the opening possession but Floyd scored the remaining points in the 7 – 2 frame.

Milli Parker drilled a 3-pointer to get Carroll County to within 8-5 but that would prove to be as close as the Lady Cavaliers would get to the Buffaloes.

Another highlight being Carroll County closed out the game on a 6-0 run, including pitching a shutout across the final 7:00.

Carroll County returns to action 🎬 Friday night in the Bobcats den at 5:30 pm.

The Night might have belonged to the Buffaloes but the Moment was All Smoot as Carroll County High School retires #3

Bryce Smoot  basking in the moment

Last season Bryce Smoot caught and passed former Cavalier Tee Jackson, sliding into the top spot on the Boys All – Time scoring list. Tuesday night Principal Chuck Thompson and Head Coach Anthony Barnes made it about sliding into a prestigious spot next to Jackson.

Thanks to Vickey Ritchie, we can relive the moment over and over !

Coach Barnes delivering the message.

Both Bryce and Brayden Smoot are enjoying their freshman year at Southwest Virginia Community College playing for the Flying Eagles. The team will return to action later this week.

The passing of the torch last year versus Galax

The Smoot family has long been a part of Sports on The Hill. The latest member participating in the family business is Aaliyah Hampton and thanks to the kindness of Carroll County High School, Bryce Smoot has a permanent position in the Schools history !

Congratulations πŸ‘ Bryce Smoot !
