ONE WILD FOOTBALL GAME

I went out see Matoaca play in the high school playoffs last night and I have to say that it was one of the wildest high school football games that I have seen. In the 1st half Matoaca couldn't do anything wrong and went to the half with a 35-7 lead over Deep Run. I was ready to leave because it was so cold and I didn't think there was any way that Deep Run was coming back the way they played in the 1st half. Well I stayed and witnessed one major comeback by Deep Run as they tied the game on a field goal as time ran out 38-38 and went on to win the game in OT 41-38. Just as Matoaca did in the 1st half Deep Run dominated the 2nd half enroute to the victory, Deep Run will play Edison next week in the semi-finals. Down at the beach Manteo beat Camden 35-7, Manteo will now play in the 1A eastern divsion finals against Northampton West with the winner moving on to the 1A sate championship game. Today in college football UVA will travel to Virginia Tech in a must win game for the Cavaliers if they want to go to a bowl, it will be a tough task for the Cavaliers. Also today East Carolina will play at NC State, there isn't anybody in the country that ECU would rather beat than NC Sate. In Georgia today Georgia Tech will be at Georgia in the battle of Georgia, I think Georgia will upset Georgia Tech today. In SPHL action last night the Renegades beat the best team in the league the Knoxville Ice Bears 4-0, tonight the Gades will be back at the RC against the Fayetteville FireAntz. Where in the world is Scott at, he has been very absent from the blog lately. MICKEY

Got your bacteria?
Yogurt is crawling with bacteria -- and the more of it you eat, the better. Be sure to buy yogurt with a seal that guarantees it has live, active cultures. These cultures -- especially acidophilus and bifida -- colonize the lower intestines with beneficial bacteria while muscling out disease-causing bacteria. Eating yogurt may help prevent diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Yogurt is easy to digest, especially for those who are lactose-intolerant, and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, riboflavin (a B vitamin), vitamin B-12 (which may be low in vegetarian diets) and vitamin A. To avoid unwanted saturated fat, choose nonfat or low-fat yogurt.
