international attention.

High Schoolers from six countries have
come to South Florida to

participate in the Global Junior

These teams from as far away as Japan
and Panama are drumming up support

for American football in their
homeland, while proving they **can**
play.

CHAMPIONSHIP 1:45-1:50 FIVE SEC)

"AND SHOWS PEOPLE THAT FOOTBALL ISN'T
JUST AN AMERICAN GAME, IT IS A

GAME THAT IS NOW PLAYED AROUND THE
WORLD"

(NATSOUND)

It all started at the Superbowl 11
years ago in a game between Mexico

and Europe.

(DREW LEVINSON/FT. LAUDERDALE)

38:04-38:13

MANY OF THE FOREIGN PLAYERS IN THIS
TOURNAMENT HAVE GONE ON TO PLAY

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE UNITED STATES,
AND A FEW HAVE GONE TO PLAY IN

THE NFL."

(SHOT OF GARDENT WALKING SIDELINES)

"AH, TO PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN
AMERICA, THAT IS THE BEST FOR YOU

BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE FOOTBALL COMES
FROM AND YOU GOT A CHANCE TO

COMPETE."

(NATSOUND ROBOT ON FIELD)

Jeremy Robot--hopes to follow in his
fellow countryman's cleats.

(29:18 NATSOUND IN FRECH TIL HE SAYS
FOOTBALL)

He says being here is important so he
can show America what he can do on

the football field.

And he---like most here---hope one

day--his talents will be super enough

to play in the super bowl.

GRAPHIC=TECH After ripping off three solid

wins over Maryland, Miami and Georgia
Tech and moving up to the 16th spot in
the Associated Press top 25 this week
many folks thought tonight's game with
N.C. State was a trap for Tech - a game

they could fall flat in without much
trouble.

Wolfpack vs. Hokies Angela Tincher the Hokie softball
all-American was honored at halftime
for her international performance this
past summer.

The Hokies could have used her
fastball in the first half. Ben
McCauley would score with just under 10
minutes to go in the first half and at
that point he had more point than the
entire Tech team.

He got some help from Engin
Atsur, who hits the three pointer as
N.C. State led the entire first half.

In fact, it would have been a
disaster if Zabian Dowdell had not
converted this four point play at the
end of the half to make it a two point
deficit at the break. *CG final N.C. State
70 The Hokies wouldn't get the lead
Virginia Tech #16 until the 16 minute mark on this Deron
59 Washington hoop.

But they struggled the rest of

the way as State upsets Tech 70 to 59.

Averett vs. Ferrum Averett head coach Jimmy Allen - :00 the Roanoke native and Northside

13th win of the season tonight.

Averett would get off to a nice
start for Coach Allen as Lymon

finds Cory McDaniel running the
baseline. His score gives Averett a
six point lead.

Ferrum's Jon Godsey would answer
that by taking the ball in the paint,
and he will back in and turn to hit the

short jumper and draw the foul.

But there wasn't enough of that
for the home team. *CG final Averett

In this week's edition of Hometown
Hoops Weekly we take a look at how the
unbeaten Floyd County girls team has
managed to stay on task this season
despite all kinds of adversity.

Their coach's young grandson,
Joshua Cantrell is battling a brain
tumor as is Chance Harman, the son of
the boys' head coach at Floyd.

Needless to say, basketballs and

prayers are launched everyday in this
county.

(END SOT) Alan Cantrell has been coaching

basketball at Floyd County - since he
looked like this - 23 years in all of
coaching and teaching in the Floyd
Community -

NAT SOUND

In that span of time - his teams have
captured three state titles with him on
the bench and this year - they're again
the favorites to win the Group A state

championship.

CANTRELL

NAT SOUND

Coaches on any level constantly preach
to their players to stay focused on the
task at hand and to worry about the
things they can control - following
those instructions has been virtually
impossible this season in Floyd.

CANTRELL

To their credit the coach and his
players have handled both the pressure
of playing with a bulls eye on their
backs and the burden of playing for
their coach and his family with
incredible poise.

CANTRELL

Cantrell and the players have tried to
use basketball as a metaphor to help
them deal with the ordeal Joshua and
Chance are facing. They've already
discovered that things like this bring
out best in people - even your rivals.

If they pull it off, it would be
the most spacewalks in such a short
amount of time WITHOUT a shuttle docked
at the station.

The mission is to hook up a
permanent cooling system and jettison a
sun shade and thermal cover.

The astronauts will have three
days rest in between the walks, the
last one set to be on Sunday.
