Travis Osborne with his Bible Verse πŸ™ of the Day :

1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Women’s Hoops at 2pm EST includes Furman University looking to reach .500 today down in Statesboro, Georgia.

Alex Cruz finished up with a second place finish yesterday and Trenton Newman earned a sixth place finish for West Long and Carroll County. The event was originally slated to stretch across two days but the winter weather shortened it to one very long one.

Congratulations to both of these young men on their spots on the Podium and to each Wrestler in the Kristy Jones Photo πŸ“· that spent their Saturday representing our School 🏫 !

Today is like a Holiday for me because Duke will receive its 12th Bowl Bid in my 62 years ! So later today we will find out where our destination will be later this month. Best Case scenario is the Pop Tarts Bowl πŸ₯£ in Orlando with the bottom end being Boston, Massachusetts. It’s a Fun Day that doesn’t happen all that often.

Yesterday afternoon, Glenvar High School continued its march towards winning the State Football Championship while the Lake Taylor Titans ended the run of Magna Vista in Tidewater. Grayson County had their impressive season end as well.

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™Œ.

It’s Kickoff time for the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game. If you can’t get to Charlotte, option 2 has to be Buffalo Wild Wings!

Wasn’t sure I would live long enough for a Duke – UVA Championship game in Foosball!!!!

6:16 – Local Time, Duke receives  the kick!

Move the Chains β›“, β›“ again….

Here for the duration so feel free to check βœ” back or ignore…

9:38 minutes of the Clock ⏰ gone and loved the 4th down call ! Duke, 7-0.

  After the way UVA manhandled Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 last month, that drive was doubly important.

UVA – picks up two first downs, avoided a turnover because of a defensive penalty and then missed a long Field Goal.

Speaking of turnovers, Hoos have a very short field after an interception.

End of the 1st quarter…..

Cavs finished off 23 yard drive πŸš— for TD, tied at 7-7.

Duke goes 3 & out, will punt on 4th and 2 ????Not our Mad Manny!!

3/3 on 4th Down !!

6:14(2) – Duke TD, after not one but two gutsy 4th down calls !!

2:55 (2) – Holding call leads to a Hoos punt. Duke with one more 1st half possession.

2:00 Warning ⚠️ 2 &7+ for Duke

Hoos force a 3 and out and used all 3 TO’s. UVA ball with 1:45 to play in the first half.

Solid defensive stand by the Blue Devils to create a 4th and 5… Punt into the endzone. 0:53 (2)

Duke will end the half by punting with a tick of two left.  HALF

6:08 pm – 2nd half kickoff

What a conversion on 2 & 22 for Hoos

Goal Line stand limits the long drive to a short field goal. 7:14 (3), drive πŸš— took over half the quarter.

4th and short for Duke in the Red Zone, 3 points or gamble 🎰 a fourth time ???

3:53 (3) – Duke Field Goal, 17-10

8:43 PM – End of 3rd quarter….

14:24 – Hoos turn it over on downs. Fourth Down has been magic for Duke.

Duke reduced the clock ⏰ to 8:47 and pin πŸ“Œ UVA at the 1 yard line.

7:21 (4) – 3rd down interception for Duke!

5:05 – Duke FG 23 yard FG, 10 point lead with 5:02 remaining!!

3:54 – Hoos hit a 42 yard Field Goal, now the question is onside kick or play it straight ???
