Dickerson had been thrown out of

The maroon shirts, that honor
victims of the April 16th tragedy, hit
University bookstores this week.

And once again, they are selling
fast.

The group "Hokies United" sold
120-thousand shirts at the end of the
school year.

At the time the money went to the
Hokie Spirit Memorial fund.

This time around the shirts are
10 dollars and will help fund the
September 6th concert for Virginia
Tech.

mstevens@wdbj7.com We begin tonight with an update
on one of the top girls' basketball
players in the area.

Hidden Valley senior Kylee
Beecher is no longer headed to the
University of South
GRAPHIC=LIBERTY Carolina, but instead the talented

center will be staying close to home to
attend Liberty University.

ENG#=1 VO-NAT

VO-NAT The six-foot four inch Beecher

verbally committed to USC back in May
and had planned to play basketball in
the SEC.

But her dad, former Virginia Tech
great Bobby Beecher, says Kylee's role
at South Carolina changed from when she
committed back in May and due to some
concerns from both sides, they've
agreed to move forward.

Liberty was one of the original
schools to court Beecher and the Flames
were always in her top five. The family
took an unofficial campus visit this
past weekend, and agreed that the
Liberty's program would be a good fit.

Kylee played all 64 minutes of

the state tournament this year scoring
32 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in
two games.

Liberty has won the Big South and
made it to the NCAA tourney seven of
the past eight years.
