The Hill – The Girls were playing at the same time tonight due to James River not fielding a Boys JV team. Hailey Cushman and our younger Cavaliers posted victory number 12 (12-6) on the season with a 31-20 victory over the Lady 👩 Knights.
Howard Mayo and his team played in the Main Gym ahead of the Varsity Boys and his group more than held their own before falling 51-42 to JRHS.
When the two teams met back on January 23rd in Buchanan, Carroll County dropped a 44-26 contest after only scoring 7 points in the first half of action. This time at the break the Lady Cavaliers were leading by a score of 30-27.
CC Mitchell connected on her fourth 3-pointer of the game with 2:06 remaining in the third quarter to push the lead out to 34 – 29 but JRHS closed out the frame 6-0 to set up an exciting finish.
Sadly, the visitors opened the fourth quarter with 8 more to complete the 14-0 run over the span of the quarters. It was Mitchell from deep at 4:33 left in the game that finally stopped the streak.
Kenzie Young followed with a 3-ball of her own, pulling her team back to within 43 – 40 with just under 3:00 to play . From there, the Lady Knights clamped down on defense and finished up with an 8-2 run and 51-42 victory.
Carroll County returns to the Gymnasium on The Hill for their Senior Night in a Varsity only contest versus Glenvar. Both Cavalier teams had been scheduled to close out the season by traveling over to Magna Vista for games on Thursday but those games have been canceled.
