Yes or No: Someone that attended your high school became a professional athlete.

I think Tigers were 70-30 after DH sweep at home against team I forget in 1984 - was there in person while visiting a friend in Indiana. Detroit had several players with Virginia ties: Whitaker, Grubb, Brookens.

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

Know the season?

[David Driver @DaytonVaDriver]

Hollywood star Warren Beatty has ties to Front Royal, sports – and maybe Staunton - https://t.co/dTJWqPJDLz
He played high school football in Arlington at same school that produced NFL players Jake Scott, Reggie Harrison, Brian Blados and the late Eric Sievers, a former Terp.

[David Driver @DaytonVaDriver]

Scott went to what was then Washington-Lee High in Arlington, Virginia - among several NFL players from that school. Warren Beatty played there in the 1950s as well.

[Andy Pollin @andypollin1]

Probably still a Corvette. A year earlier Staubach won and traded it for a station wagon

[David Driver @DaytonVaDriver]

Super! Glad to see D3 get some recognition. Happy to say of two of four in our immediate family played at that level in other sports.

[Eden Laase-Derouin @eden_laase]

NYU WBB has won 76 games in a row, a streak spanning 2.5 years and including back-to-back national titles.

No scholarships, no NIL money, little recognition. So how do you build a DIII powerhouse?

I spent three days with @nyuwomenshoops to find out.

Plus a note on former @JMUBaseball pitcher slated to play this spring for EMU and Rule 5 draft pick of Nats from @UVABaseball in Charlottesville.

[David Driver @DaytonVaDriver]

Interviewed him in Springfield, Virginia when he was a senior in high school; was struck by his maturity; was assistant at George Mason, @UVAMensHoops and @HokiesMBB and American, among others. Class act.

[Temple Men's Basketball @TUMBBHoops]

Temple University is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of assistant men’s basketball coach Bill Courtney.

I don’t think hockey is quite as popular in Warsaw. Volleyball is big in the winter.
