COVINGTON, Va. (VR) – The Alleghany Junior Varsity Cougars may have fallen to Carroll County 6-0 on Friday, but their relentless effort on the field was evident from start to finish.

Despite a late four-run surge in the fourth inning that propelled Carroll County to victory, the Cougars played with determination and grit. Starting pitcher Joel Bradshaw set the tone for the game, giving everything he had on the mound. Over five and one-third innings, Bradshaw allowed six hits and six runs, but his two strikeouts and ability to keep his team in the game were a testament to his resilience. His effort wasn’t without its challenges, as he walked three batters, but he battled throughout, never backing down.

While the scoreline might suggest otherwise, the Cougars’ defense and pitching were up to the task. Carroll County’s offense, led by the strong performances of Rakes and Hart, proved to be a tough challenge, but the Cougars weren’t easily shaken. Bradshaw worked tirelessly to keep the game close, and the team responded with defensive plays that kept them within striking distance.

At the plate, Alleghany’s offense showed patience and discipline. Although they didn’t score, the Cougars worked the count well, earning six walks throughout the game. Bradshaw, leading the team in hits, went 1-for-3, showing he wasn’t just performing on the mound but also contributing at the plate. 

Despite the offensive struggles, the Cougars refused to let the game slip away easily. Carroll County’s starting pitcher, Nicholson, was dominant, striking out six Cougars and allowing just one hit over four and two-thirds innings, but the Cougars’ ability to make the opposing pitcher work and draw walks spoke volumes about their approach to the game. 

The Cougars will be on the Road on Tuesday at James River High School.
