What we know for sure is that Marion Harris and Travis Osborne are en route to the Smokey Mountains in hopes of playing some Travel Volleyball 🏐 this weekend.
Being that I’m currently 2,000 + miles away, I’m not sure what awaits these two fine Southern Gentlemen but being we are lite on material and with more Snow in the forecast……..
Godspeed on the Journey 🙏🙏🙏
Hopefully, more 2 follow….
When a sportswriter is watching a game there can be multiple times when the storyline changes dramatically and that was certainly the case Friday night 🌙 as Furman University refused to lose against their neighbors and rivals, Wofford.
Alyssa Ervin, our former Lady 👩 Cavalier, finished with a game high 21 points with the final bucket coming on a well designed inbounds play by Head Coach Pierre Curtis. After Wofford took a one point lead at 64-63 with a made free throw, Furman called a timeout with 0:01.9 seconds on the clock ⏰ and Chantelle Stuart lobbed a pass over a 6’4 defender that Ervin caught mid-air and shot before landing for the victory.
It might not have been Grant Hill to Christian Laettner back in 1991 but it will be running on Furman highlight reels for a hot minute. The victory moves the Paladins to 6-1 in the SoCon at the midway pole, alone in second place !
Ervin also scored the previous basket to tie the game at 63 – 63 with 0:26 remaining but Wofford secured an offensive rebound after a late miss, allowing the home team to seemingly claim a hard fought victory.
Clare Coyle finished up with an impressive double – double ( 17 points, 11 rebounds ) and the 6’1 forward simply carried the ‘ Dins in the fourth quarter by scoring 11 down the stretch. Coyle set the table for Ervin and her Grand Finale in the closing seconds.
Wofford led most of the game but everytime the lead reached seven or nine, Ervin found an answer. When it happened again in the fourth quarter it was Coyle who said, ” Not on my watch”.
Furman University will now hunker down ahead of the pending storm as they are off until February 5th when league leading UT – Chattanooga comes to town.
Five of the seven regular season games left on the calendar 📅 will be played at Home 🏡.
The video 📹 of the basket 🧺 is available on ESPN for subscribers…
There were four more events originally planned for today and we see that the Girls Wrestling 👧 has been rescheduled. I will look to add more information on the remaining three as it becomes available.
****** All Events have been postponed, per Mr DeHaven…
Tough week for everyone involved with The Hill but say and 🙏🙏🙏 for the sanity of our Athletic Director, Kevin DeHaven as he is tasked with trying hard to find new dates 📅 for everything that cannot happen due to the weather.
So excited about Kristy Jones having some of her efforts to support ” Her Trenton ” and all of the West Long led Wrestlers land in The Carroll News !!! Kristy has been an absolute pleasure to work with all season 🙌 and I know how much her Children mean to her !
Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years gets a late add today as Katie Lam and Roanoke College bumps their game up one day in hopes of beating the weather.
Spartanburg, South Carolina is set to host a 6pm Eastern Tip for the two teams currently tied for second place behind UT – Chattanooga.. Alyssa Ervin and Furman University will make the Midway turn in no worse than third place but a win tonight would give them second place all to themselves !
Meanwhile, SWCC was scheduled to host Guilford Tech tonight but that has been removed in one spot so not quite sure. But we can tell you that Bryce Smoot picked up some court time recently and added a rebound to his total. Both of our Smoot Brothers are finishing up their first and only season in Cedar Bluff as the Community College has announced that they will be ending their Athletic program at the end of the school year.

Yesterday was Day 60 of 90 out here in the Desert 🏜, leaving us at the 2/3 Poll in our quest for helping my Doctor smile. The next lab work is set for March 9th in Laurel Fork and a great deal of progress has been made !
The goals were 1,350,000 Steps 🚶♂️ across the 90 Days with a minimum of 10,000 per day.
The total cleared 1,000,000 yesterday and now sits at 1,006, 124 !!!
Travis just sent in his Bible Verse so folks are waking ⏰ up back on The Hill. Stay warm and stay safe and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
Will close it out with a few pictures 📷 from yesterday in Cedar City, Utah
We add four more games to the long list of events that Mr DeHaven will have to get back on the books 📚 at a later date.
All five of our College Cavaliers are off tonight as well with The Smoot Brothers and Alyssa Ervin being in the on deck circle 🔵.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Day 59/90 was highlighted by another beautiful Hike 🚶♂️ on the way to 16,000 steps 🚶♂️.
While our site is closing in on 20 years now, roughly 2 and 1/2 years ago I challenged myself to produce something positive everyday for as long as I could. Today marks Day #900 ! I will put my head down in hopes of making it to 1000!!
Have Yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
