With so many dissatisfied and entitled young adults in the news, this story was a refreshing change. I appreciated how Aka and his family chose to immigrate to the U.S. and their obvious love for America. Aka's work ethic and willingness to overcome adversity will serve him well as an Army officer. We're blessed to have him serve our nation. cityofRaven, Irishman, swva_havok_fan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think Bluefield wins the game, I do NOT think it's a runaway, though I would love for it to be. I can't stand Tennessee High. Lol. What I do think is a runaway is one of the other replacement games on the schedule now... Sullivan South vs....... North Greene. NG lost Twin Springs off their schedule in week 4 and South lost Gate City off week 4, so they decided to play each other. South wins that game by 80+ if they want.
