Mark Sweeney of Troutville is the defending champion in the Smith Mountain Lake Junior Tournament beginning Monday at The Waterfront Country Club.
Among Sweeney's toughest competition will be Roanoke's Ryan Ketron, who has signed a letter-of-intent with Campbell University.
Included among 130 entrants from five states and Canada are 32 players with handicaps of five or less. Bradley Black of St. Catharines, Ontario, is listed as a scratch golfer.
There will be three boys' age groups and one girls' division.
After a victory drought of six races, Jeff Agnew will be going all out to find victory lane again in the 100-lap Late Model Stock Car race at New River Valley Speedway in Radford tonight.
The Floyd driver won nine of the first 11 races but hasn't taken a checkered flag since the first race in June. Since then, Roanoke's Tony McGuire and Michael Ritch of High Point, N.C., have dominated.
The trio will be the favorites when the LMSC class takes the green flag in the New River Pontiac, GMC, Nissan 200. The Limited, Modified Mini, Mini and Pure Stock drivers also will see action.
For the first time in the track's history, a ladies night will be held, with admission being half price. Gates open at 2 p.m., with practice starting at 4. Qualifying gets underway at 6:15 and the first green flag falls at 8. Admission is $10 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under.
New faces and some familiar ones will increase the Late Model Stock Car field at Franklin County Speedway for tonight's National Pistol Association 300. Rodney Cundiff will return with a new engine in his Ford Thunderbird, Dennis Gardner is back after a crash two weeks ago, and Todd Philpott will make his 1994 debut.
Truck racing will be added to the six standard divisions on the card at the Callaway track. Gates open at noon and the first race begins at 8 p.m. Admission is $5, with children under 10 admitted free.
O Peter Gustafson went 3-for-3 and pitched three scoreless innings of
relief as the Cave Spring American Little League all-stars defeated St. Paul 10-5 in the state 9- and 10-year-old tournament in Norton. Evan Johnson also pitched three strong innings for Cave Spring, which plays a losers' bracket game today against an opponent to be determined.
