cavaliers.
((RICHARD THRASHER:))
The Thrasher sharks meet the Lady Cavaliers Friday. They topped Marion 69-53
last night.
Sarah Hick's 21 points led all scorers.
((PRE PRO))
Before the Byrd/Botetourt 8:30 game, fans can watch the other state semi
final at 7pm. Louisa against Charlottesville.
These games, like the Single A semi finals will be played at Virginia High
in Bristol. The Salem Civic Center had a scheduling conflict this year.
In Single A, Floyd County lost to Honaker last night, but there is nothing
shabby about a 5th straight state tournament berth.
((ALLEN CANTRELL:))
Friday at 2pm, Wilson Memorial will face Woodstock central and then Haysi
takes on Honaker in the 3:30 game.
((STEVE MASON:))
He comes from Harrisburg Pennsylvania, he's 34 years old, and believes in
full court pressure.

No starters are back, but Boo Battle scored over 16 points a game last year.
He likes his new coach.

Guy Meada hopes his JINGLE FROGS will hop up the music charts soon.
After limited success in putting out his own albums, Meada thought he would
follow the lead of last year's Jingle CATS.
So using a croaking frog and a friend's computer, Guy is trying to make his
leap to the top.
