COLONIALS, CAVALIERS AND PACKERS ALL WIN



Well it was a goods sports day for me on Thursday with the Colonials, Cavaliers and Packers all picking up wins. The Colonials picked up a victory yesterday beating Charles City 55-46 in the consolation game of the Colonial Invitational, the Colonials boys team will now be off until after the holidays. The Virginia Cavaliers salvaged one victory on there trip to Puerto Rico beating the host school the PR-Mayaguez Bulldogs 59-52, it wasn't an easy victory for the Cavs they only lead by 1 point at the half. Virginia is no 7-3 and will play American University next on Dec 28. The Green Bay Packers won there third straight game last night beating the Minnesota Vikings, 9-7 in a defensive struggle. The Packers points came on three field goals and the Vikings only TD was an interception return for a TD. The Packers are now 7-8 and will finish up the season at Chicago next week. The Richmond Renegades will return to the ice tonight against the Florida Seals hoping to end a three game losing streak. It looks like it is going to be a very rainy day here in Colonial Heights today for all the people who haven't finished there Christmas shopping, I hope all you fellow bloggers have finished up your Christmas shopping. I have posted an old Christmas photo of three bloggers from many years ago, as you can tell by the photo one them is a Billy Kilmer fan. MICKEY

I remember the Christmas Billy Kilmer showed up, he got there just before Willie came to see his good friend Mickey.

Mickey didn't highlight the young lady's name. I assume she's not Red Steagall.

I think it is a picture of Lady Bird Johnson in her younger days.
