The local firefighters
association...like this one in Roanoke
... used to approach motorists at
intersections raising money for the
Muscular Dystrophy Association through
its "Fill the Boot" campaign.

But earlier this year, Lynchburg
banned that type of fundraising out of
safety concerns.

Hill City firefighters saw their
donations drop sharply ... from
30-thousand dollars the year before to
just three thousand this year.

They plan to ask the city for an
exemption in 2007.

tackles, three interceptions and a
forced fumble. By making one of the
five nationally recognized All-America
squads, Flowers extends defensive

one player make a squad. Vince Hall,
Branden Ore and Eddie Royal were

DONNIE BROWN

Donnie Brown was Ferrum's student
body president in 1965 and he has

remained one of the college's most
vocal suppoters to this day. He and so
many others at Ferrum remember the day
the plane went down with seven former
Ferrum Junior College players on board,
along with a Marshall head coach who
got his start with the Panthers.

HANK NORTON

DONNIE BROWN

The seven players were all
teammates of Horace Green - the captain
of the 1968 national title team and the
MVP of the Junior College Championship
game - known at the time as the Shrine
Bowl. He didn't need a movie to help
him remember the friends he lost in
that crash.

:00 Smith has planned to fly back to
Columbus, Ohio with the prestigious
trophy, but airport security wouldn't
let him take it on the plane, so he had

to ship is back home.

Kind of strange since you never
think of the Heisman trophy as the
choice weapon on most terroists

It's probably just as well - in
1995 Eddie George's Heisman trophy got
stuck in an x-ray mahcine at the

tonight.

On the out of bounds play,
Salem's Gabby Moss will take the entry
pass at the top of the key and in turn
feed the post to Ryan Rotanz who hits
the little jump shot for the Spartans.

Back come the Vikings as Rachel

Fertitta reverses the ball to Ashley
Masterson on the wing and Ashley will
just drain the three pointer to keep
the Vikings on top. *CG final Northside
50 Northside had just had too much Salem firepower. Abby Thomas gets the pass 44 to Masterson on the wing again, and
this time she spins baseline on the
Salem defense and scores. Northside
tops the Spartans 50 to 44.
