THOMAS DALE VISITS COLONIAL HEIGHTS

The Thomas Dale Knights will visit CH tonight in football action and understand that Andrew will be in attendance and he may bring both a TD and CH to the game and depending on who is winning you might see with either on his head. Al will probably be taking some pictures at the game and maybe he will get a shot with Andrew with his CH hat on. Also tonight the #1 team in the area Matoaca hosts Meadowbrook. Down in Georgia the Crawford County Eagles could pick up there second win of the season tonight win the Pike County Pirates come to town, the Pirates haven't won a game this year. Down at the beach First Flight will be at Northeastern, Manteo will be at Perquimans and Cape Hatteras will be at Jamesville. Last night on ESPN there was a good college football game on as Auburn held on to beat South Carolina 24-17, South Carolina had there chances to tie or even win the game.

EAST CAROLINA FALLS, GEORGIA SURVIVES

The East Carolina Pirates gave valiant effort against the West Virginia Mountaineers but it just wasn't enough as the Mountaineers defeated the Pirates 27-10. The Pirate defense played well all day but the offense just couldn't get on track, the offense did have several chances to put more points on the board but just weren't able to execute correctly. It was a pretty wild atmosphere in the stadium with all the Mountaineer fans who were there. The Pirates are off next week before UVA comes town on October 7. The Georgia Bulldogs survived a scare yesterday at the hands of the Colorado Buffaloes, the Bulldogs were trailing 13-0 with seven minutes remaining in the game before they scored got two TD's and held on for a 14-13 win, good teams find a way to win. There were a couple of big comebacks yesterday as well, NC Sate beat Boston College in the last minute of the game 17-15 and Notre Dame scored 19 points in the 4th quarter erasing a 16 point deficit entering the final quarter to beat Michigan St 40-37. Also don't look now but Wake Forest is now 4-0 and the play Liberty this week so there is a pretty good chance that they will be 5-0 entering there showdown with Clemson. Today in the NFL both the Packers and the Redskins will be trying to win there first game of the season, the Packers play the Lions and the Redskins play the Texans. Clint Boyer won yesterday's Busch race at Dover, today Jeff Gordon will lead the field to the green in today's Nextel Cup race at Dover.
