EAGLES & COLONIALS FALL

The Crawford County Eagles lost there 1st game of the season last night against the Pike County Pirates 31-19, Scott said the Eagles made simply to many mistakes to win the game, next up for the Eagles is a trip to Heard County. The CH Colonials fell to the Prince George Royals 34-13, the Royals jumped on the Colonials early and lead 34-0 at the half before were able to put 2 TD's on the board. Next week the Colonials will travel to Dinwiddie to play a very good Dinwiddie team. The Thomas Dale Knights pulled a big upset in the Central District knocking off Meadowbrook 19-16. I will not be going to any college football games today for the 1st time in about 4 weeks, I guess I will just set back and watch the games on TV. The Virginia Cavaliers will try keep there winning streak alive tonight when the Pitt Panthers visit Scott Stadium, last year the CAVS suffered an embarrassing loss to PITT. Also today the North Carolina Tar Heels will be at Virginia Tech, East Carolina will be at Houston and Mississippi will be at Georgia. Today A.G. will be working the Akron at Connecticut game, I have posted some other games of interest below. Jimmy Johnson captured the pole for this weeks race at th Kansas Speedway, Matt Kenseth will join him on the front row. Well the computer is working a bit better this morning but there are some programs that are still not working. I did have to put my sweatshirt on this morning before heading to Wal-Mart, it was a cool 55 degrees this morning and it's suppose to be in the 40's the next couple of mornings. MICKEY

Understanding Fever Blisters

Fever blisters, sometimes called cold sores, are small blisters that occur on the lips or in or around the mouth. The sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and can be very painful.

Here are some facts and suggestions about fever blisters, courtesy of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery:

* The dormant fever blister virus can be made active by stress, the sun, fever, hormonal changes or trauma.
* The virus is very contagious, and can be easily spread to other areas of the body, and from person to person.
* To reduce the risk of spreading the virus, avoid touching or picking at a blister, and avoid touching other people or other parts of your body until you wash your hands thoroughly.
* Fever blisters tend to recur, often in the same place.
* The virus can be spread even when there are no blisters present.
* While there is no cure for the virus, antiviral ointment applied to a sore can help hide its appearance.
