The bill is called Abraham's Law
for Abraham Cherrix (Chair- ix) who was
diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease last
year.

When he and his parents
discovered a treatment plan they liked
in Mexico a legal battle ensued with a
judge threatening to force the teen to
undergo chemotherapy instead.

A Virginia Beach delegate wants
parents to be allowed to make

However, parents would have to
meet certain conditions - like making
the decision with their child.

Meanwhile, Cherrix says his
cancer is in remission and he's feeling

was a little slim for one of the
biggest rivalry games of the year.

The Flames Anthony Smith was a
beast tonight. He gets the ball down
low and drives the baseline for the
dunk. Smith had 17. And even Reverend
Falwell had to exhale on that one

Kenny Thomas did all he could to

keep the Highlanders in it as he gets
the inbounds pass and scores two of his
team high 18 on the circus shot.

But Radford only scored 17 in the
whole first half. They got 49 after
intermission as Reggie McIntyre dropped
in two of his 15. *CG final Radford
