Not only is Mr. Bill Meade of Stuarts Draft a teacher, he’s also a proud Graduate of the College of William and Mary. So on an evening with five different Sporting events that made the list of options, the landing spot is the Dedmon Center on the campus of Radford University.
The Highlanders are playing host to the Tribe with the Tip-Off set for 7pm.
Men’s Basketball 🏀 was another option down at Cameron Indoor Stadium as Duke plays host to Army (6pm).
Women’s College Hoops was on the list as Elon University (7pm) is set to play their second game of the season tonight.
Option #4 of 5 gets started at 8pm down in Winston-Salem as Wake Forrest hosts California in ACC Football 🏈🏈🏈
Option 5 of 5 is only listed last as Allen Worrell will have blanket coverage for Carroll County High at Glenvar High School 🏫 Football 🏈 (starting at 7pm).
Let’s get back to our well educated Guest, Bill “Pappy” Meade. Pappy is in his 70’s now but is still Battling Father Time. Refusing to willingly slow down, Pappy is staying busy by both teaching at Ridgeview Christian ✝️ School and coaching Tennis 🎾 at Staunton High School.
Our paths first crossed 20+ years ago when Meade was the Sports Editor for the Page News and Courier. His writing ✍ style screams OneofUs.Care as Meade also only uses his words for Good.
[Duke16, Army 8] – first update…
So with apologies to Cooper Flagg, Alyssa Ervin and the Golden Bears 🐻 of California, we will spend the next two hours watching 👀 Pappy’s Alma mater (Class of 1975). It’s been 50 years now and it still shows.
Pappy still finds time to cover High School 🏫 Sports for the Daily News Record up in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
