COLONIALS WIN, IT'S HOMECOMING AT VCU

The Colonial Heights boys basketball came out shooting lights out last night en route 67-50 victory over Matoaca.  The game really was never really that close and the Colonials lead by more than 15 most of the game.  The CH girls team also knocked of Matoaca as well beating the Warriors 54-39, the Colonials girls team is in 3rd place in the Central District.  It is Homecoming tonight at VCU when the Rams host UNC Wilmington, since the Rams don't have a football team they have to have Homecoming during basketball season.  I think up until a few years ago they had there Homecoming game during soccer season.  The Virginia Cavaliers will be on the road at Wake Forest today and if the Cavs don't win this game they are going to have a tough time winning any other ACC games this year.  Also fellow blogger Keith will heading back home today from another tough week of government work.  MICKEY
