The conditions were not ideal but poll of some of the players indicated the possibility of some low scores.)) ((PHIL OWENBY/ROANOKE COUNTRY CLUB PRO:)) ((DONNIE CRAFT/FIRST HALL OF FAME TOURNAMENT:))

((Play was stopped at noon for about 20 minutes forcing the golfers off the course for shelter.
Defending champion Ryan Ketron had a late tee time and he missed the steady downpour.

Some local elementary school students have already jumped that hurdle.
Students at Colonial Elementary wrote their own books, complete with illustrations.
The finished product was then published and today the kids had the chance to share their stories with others during a Read-In.
Students read each other's books and even read their own books aloud, with a little help from teachers.
