Ream told the crowd at Carilion's
Women's Health University.

She gave the example of how
exercise over the long term can

She also said deep breathing like

can also make difference.

Franklin Co. vs George Washington It was Senior Night for Franklin
County who was looking to pull the
upset on 9th ranked G.W.

Things looked good early on as
Franklin county will get the ball to
Shea Smith, the Freshman will lay it in

for the duece.

But from then on out it was
pretty much all G.W. as they would use
the fundamentals. Erica Warren with
the bounce pass to Ashley Houston who
uses the backboard for the bucket.
*CG final George Washington G.W. would also hit the offensive 80 Glass. Ash-Lynn Massey is going to Franklin Co. follow up the miss by Tiffany Houston 37 for the Hoop and George Washington goes
