RENEGADES GO FOR 10TH STRAIGHT WIN, CH GIRLS WIN




The Richmond Renegades will be going for there 10th straight win tonight at the Richmond Coliseum against the Huntsville Havoc, the Gades will also be home both Friday and Saturday nights against the Jacksonville Barracudas. Also yesterday the Renegades announced that enforcer Matt Goody has retired, apparently he was unable to come up with the money he was fined for his suspension. The CH girls basketball team beat Dinwiddie last night 55-50 while the CH boys team fell to Dinwiddie 78-47. The VCU Rams also fell last night to the George Mason Patriots 63-51, maybe I shouldn't root for any college basketball teams because when I do they seem to lose. Speaking of losing the UVA basketball team will be on the road at Maryland tonight, they Cavs have blown leads in the 2nd half the last few games. Me and dad did go up to the high school and throw a little more yesterday, I am trying to get my arm in shape for the 1st day of baseball practice. MICKEY
