Am I the only person that when I hear that pre board click sound from Southwest Airlines on your phone I automatically start singing ‘The Whole World’ by OutKast. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Matthew Hatfield @hatfieldsports]

Saddened to learn of the passing of Curt Newsome - one of the more respected football coaches in the Commonwealth of Virginia - at the age of 67.

Newsome was Head Coach for 10 seasons at his alma mater, Emory & Henry. He also served as an assistant at James Madison and Virginia Tech.

At the prep level, Newsome guided Kecoughtan HS to six playoff wins, including a trip to the State Championship game in 1997.

Thoughts and prayers to his entire family. #RIP my friend!
