a pile of ash behind a shed on his

March Forestry Department investigators
say THAT's what started a forest fire
that cost nearly 800-thousand dollars
to put out.

Judge Harold Black heard evidence
last month that Ham had acted
carelessly.

The judge deferred a ruling in
the case for three weeks, only now
returning a verdict of NOT guilty.

the costs of fighting the fire.

It is unclear now whether state
and federal authorities will pursue
civil action against Ham to recover
some of money spent to put the fire
out.

William Byrd vs. Cave Spring Cave Spring coaches Mark and :00 Tamilyn Tanis put their ladies on the
floor at home tonight to take on
William Byrd.

The Knights are tough enough when
teams bring their A games to South
County, but you cannot afford to make
unforced mistakes and stay in the game
with Cave Spring. Katherine Jetton -
the captain gets this point.

Byrd would play tall at the net
tonight as this spike gets past the
diving Taylor Yarber on the back line
for the Terrier point.

The Knights would put this one

away as Jennifer Harvey goes up on the
left side, and the senior will bury it
in the hardwood.

Cave Spring rolls to the 3 games
to none win.

Last Saturday the Hokies got one of them from :00 the league office today as William Wall
was named the co-rookie of the week in
the conference.

The six foot three inch freshman
defensive end from Washington, DC had
five tackles and three quarterback
sacks. He also had a forced fumble in
just his second collegiate game.

Not bad for a player who was
thrown out of practice the week before
and held out of the North Carolina game

for mouthing off at a coach in

*CG locator Charlottesville

The Cavs apparently are set to
turn to Jameel Sewell out of Richmond's
Hermitage high school. The Redshirt
Freshman is expected to start for the
Cavaliers on Thursday as they open up
A-C-C play.

Sewell saw his first game action
this past week against Western Michigan
in the Wahoo's 17 to 10 loss. He
completed 7 of 10 passes for 51 yards
and no points.

If Sewell does indeed start it
will be the 3rd different starting

quarterback for U-V-A in it's 3 games
this season.

And the next question is - if
these guys are so bad - why not give
Vic Hall a shot???

Hall was recruited to
Charlottesville as a quarterback out of
Gretna - yet remains a backup
defensive back.

The UVA offensive problems are
compounded by the fact that Mike Groh -
the coach's son is in his first year as
offensive coordinator.

The Cavs are 17 point underdogs.
