Where to start?  I'm sadden to see the Blues season with no wins.  I think the 2nd half at Tazewell broke their spirit.  The season  with Virginia High shows the Cats with improvement, but still work to do.  The Blues team needs to prove they aren't cellar material.  They need to dig deep within themselves  and come away with a win Friday.  It won't be an easy task.  Task calls for a deep down effort, beyond what has transpired this season, and a reckoning of will to walk away with the win Friday night.  
GO BLUES!!!

This is what our nation was built on...valor, sacrifice and honor.  Anything else is inferior and cannot withstand the storms that come.  
A great read.  I love history.  It is the DNA of our nation.  Some of its genes have grown in establishing this nation and its leadership to what a united people can be and do.  Correcting injustice, giving of self so others can be free.  Freedom is never seized;  it's giving of one's self unconditionally.  This story reflects this virtue.  It calls the mediocre to be valiant, strive beyond your own goals and rest in the goodness of effort.

My father and Don were close. Don is well known not just in Tazewell and Tazewell County, but was well know in VT circles. He once served on the VT Board of Visitors and the man paid several kids tuition out of his own pocket to attend VT. He was huge in development for Tazewell, VA, and he was instrumental in getting the VT School of Pharmacy started. Don was a class act. A former marine. He will be missed by many and did some solid work on this earth and left his mark, and he came from blue collar and humble beginnings. RIP old Bulldog, Don Dunford.

Did the Bearcats run their same offense last week with the new QB?  Apparently him being a scrambler with speed could have been the wrinkle that made the game with the Gmen a close game.  Drones a scrambler with speed brought a new dimension to the Hokies.  Thank goodness!!! 
If Creasy is 100% I give the edge to the Dawgs.  Creasy is a scrambler until a receiver gets open.  The Dawgs have the advantage of having film on the Cats new QB, where the Gmen didn't.  
GO DAWGS!!!
 

Dillon pulls away for win over Loris | Sports | myhorrynews.com
Here is story on the Loris/Dillon game last night.  
The Lions miscues hurt themselves.  Would have been a closer game.  

Coach Collier's quote from the KTN.
“It’s not a spinal injury because it’s more of a shoulder (injury),” Collier said. “Most everything that everyone saw was precautionary. They’re going to Med Flight him out. The way he described it, it was more of a shoulder.”

Medical personnel have placed a backboard  on the Rye Cove player. Prayers for this young man.

On the morning of 9/11/2001 it was a beautiful day, blue skies, white fluffy clouds, no thought of the evil that arose that day.  Our eyes were transfixed to the television screen as we saw the carnage floating down from the skies, the collapse of the twin towers.  A sea of terror we couldn't image happening.  The days following we were together, united as one people, one nation giving homage to the lost, the suffering.  There weren't boundaries of ethnicity to cross to mourn.  Our vision was as one for the hurting and loss, not the nation of origin.  
This past Friday I was honored to see the same kind of day birthed;  blue skies, white fluffy clouds   as family came together to remember and honor my brother, a Korean War Veteran with a graveside memorial.  The steel blue casket had the Navy emblem on one bottom corner, the eagle and flag on another bottom corner.   The flag draping over the casket was removed and folded to exact specifications and given lovely to his daughter.  The sailor knelt down and said "This is presented to you in honor of your Father's service to our country."  We gathered as one, from different walks of life.  There was a message, singers, guitars, tears, laughter, enveloped by the nucleus of love for our brother, Dad, grandfather.  As the service proceeded you could hear jets approaching.  The sound got closer and closer.  In the blue blue sky and white fluffy clouds, appeared two fighter jets and they did a flyover.  It was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed and how it touched our lives.  The family didn't request it and we aren't sure how it came about.  His daughter talking the day before said "I wish there would be a flyover for Daddy."  I told her "God hears our whispers."  
On this 9/11 day of 2023,   I pray there were flyovers, flags raised, singing, tears, laughter and most of all a nucleus of love as we honor the lives that were lost,  and the lives given in rescue of the fallen.    
AMEN!!!!  

Best wishes to the Dawgs!!!   Let Riverheads hear the Dawgs fans loud and proud.  Let Riverheads feel the Dawgs bark.  
TJ strong!!!
