A name that came to mind, is Omar Reed (Tazewell High, Bluefield College). Not the NBA, but has played for awhile in overseas professional basketball leagues. Believe he is a resident in Houston now. Watched him grow up playing basketball, little league baseball and high school baseball for Tazewell. http://www.bdtonline.com/sports/omar-juiced/image_f27a803a-3ad1-11e8-83ee-fb143e3615ba.html

Well deserved honor for Tim, Jill, Megan and Carter. Tim was the heartbeat of his soccer program. He, his family and players worked tirelessly. His untimely death has been felt deeply by so many. A solid foundation Tim, Jill, TJ, Megan and Carter have left for the Tazewell Bulldogs to carry on with. My first soccer game was to watch TJ play at Abingdon. His Dad had fixed special padding for him to wear in the game for protection, due to his cancer treatments. I knew nothing about the sport of soccer (still not a lot), but I was there to watch a young man, who was so naturally talented and gifted in this sport. I was blessed to see Tim coaching his team, and a protective Dad with his eye vigilant on his son, to protect him from injury. TIM AND TJ YOU ARE MISSED http://www.bdtonline.com/sports/rasnick-s-soccer-influence-in-tazewell-will-endure/article_167f7710-3d3e-11e8-a966-2b6a736c986b.html

This may not be for all to view, but if you do, I believe you will be touched as I was. It is a video of Simon the Cyrenian pulled from the crowd to carry Jesus cross. Cyrene is a country in North Africa and even though the video doesn't portray him being a black man, it seems likely he was. In reading other accounts of this happening, the Roman soldiers did not pull any of the Jews from the crowd due to it being Passover. If the Jews had touched the cross, they would have been defiled and not able to participate in Passover.
