BLACKSBURG'S WHEELER HAS SURGERY

Blacksburg High School's Tony Wheeler, an All Timesland linebacker, underwent surgery Wednesday for a chronic right shoulder problem and will be lost to the football team for an undetermined length of time.

Blacksburg coach David Crist said Wheeler would likely be out for all of the regular season but could be healed in time to rejoin the team if the Indians make it to the playoffs.
