VIRGINIA UPSETS BOSTON COLLEGE, VIRGINIA BASEBALL TEAM AT FLORIDA STATE


The Virginia basketball team upset Boston College yesterday in the 1st round of the ACC basketball tournament in Greensboro, NC 68-62. The Cavs will face Duke today at Noon in the 2nd round, this will be an extremely tall task for the Cavs. The Virginia baseball team opens up ACC play today at Florida State, the Seminoles are 4th in the country while the Cavs are ranked 2nd in the land. I am hoping that they can take at least 2 out of 3 from the Seminoles. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series is of this weekend before returning to action next weekend at Bristol. Also tonight Petersburg will play for the sate AAA basketball championship against I.C. Norcom at the STU. I sure am glad that it is Friday. MICKEY

Bok Choy
This crunchy cruciferous vegetable is more than the filler that goes with shrimp in brown sauce. "Bok choy is rich in bone-building calcium, as well as vitamins A and C, folic acid, iron, beta-carotene, and potassium," says celebrity trainer Teddy Bass. Potassium keeps your muscles and nerves in check while lowering your blood pressure, and research suggests that beta-carotene can reduce the risk of both lung and bladder cancers, as well as macular degeneration. Shoot for a cup a day.

I cannot believe that Mickey is pulling for the Seminoles to take at least 2 of 3 from the Cav's baseball team.
