((Graduation from William Fleming, and now Wake Forest women's basketball coach, achievements that gave Charlene Curtis the right to lay it on the line at Salem high school's say no to drug, alcohol and tobacco pledge night. The highly successful Lady Spartan hoopsters joined their parents in signing on the dotted line in an effort to eliminate the drugs and alcohol that can only hurt.
((JENNIFER STONE/SALEM BASKETBALL PLAYER:))
Liberty high school's drug awareness program is spear headed by the county. Players must sign a say no to drugs or alcohol and then ink their permission slip to play. According to one athlete, awareness is up and usage is down.
((BROOKE OWENS/LIBERTY SENIOR FORWARD:))
William Byrd head coach Debbie Williams Arthur is the sponsor of the drug free youth in Roanoke program. She teams up with the police department to educate kids on the negatives of drugs and alcohol, taking just say no a step further. ))
