TALL ORDER

Virginia Tech basketball players towered over their audience Thursday duringa visit to second-graders at Prices Fork School in Montgomery County. Dirk Williams, Erik Wilson, Steve Hall and David Herbster helped celebrate "basketball day." They gave a talk on good sportsmanship, academics, staying in school and saying "no" to drugs. Questions afterward included "How tall are you?" and "Can you touch the ceiling?" Highlight of the visit: when the pupils got to slam dunk by being hoisted up to the rim.
