Added scores from last night & the matchups for the semis.


Found a new source for score updates from Central Va... ScrimmagePlay


I noticed that the VHSL isn't updating the bracket pages this year.. 
they're posting new pages with new web addresses while leaving the old page up.
Geez... I HATE when ppl. do stuff like this.
So, I've removed the links to the individual bracket pages below,






                       IMPORTANT TRAFFIC INFO

VDoT is blasting Christiansburg Mtn. to add truck-climbing lanes along 1-81 - 
expect weekday delays of an hour when traffic is diverted onto US 460/11 
between Exits 118 (C'burg/B'burg) & 132 (Shawsville).

Here's live traffic at mile 124.9, VDoT's area Travel Alerts and 511 page.


VDoT is also replacing the old bridge over the New River on Rt. 114 between
Radford & the NRV Mall (it should be open to traffic by Thanksgiving, 2014). 
Delays are possible until around 7 p.m.


And Rt. 460 near Montvale (near Lynchburg) is down to 2 lanes for about 
a mile due to a recent tanker accident on the eastbound side.

Food

Fast food is not a nearby option for the Dedmon Center Complex, so come prepared for concession-stand cuisine. Here's the "big names" around town .... Macado's is located across the tracks from Dedmon, but there's no short-cut to it. It's across from Madison St. (not Adams, as the map shows); BT's is located across from campus at Tyler & Downey, beside the 7-11. Papa John's is about half a mile back up the hill towards I-81 on Tyler (177), Quiznos and Spinnakers (in the Best Western) are on up a piece. Subway & a yogurt place are on Main Street, but have limited parking. The others are on out Main a bit. Domino's is on top of the hill just past downtown along with Taco Inn and Little Ceasar's. Go about another mile and there's an Appleby's on the right (about 5 minutes). At the traffic light, you can go straight to Sonic, Arby's, or El Charro & Sal's Italian (about 8 minutes from Dedmon). Or turn right on 11 towards Pulaski to hit rest. row : McD's, Hank's Drive-In, Bojangles, etc. A new place is Cook Out, which is said to have decent burgers, good shakes & great BBQ. Go on up the hill and there's a Hardee's at the light. Turn right towards Tech for Taco Bell, which is a left at the light for Wal-Mart. There's also a ton of eats around the NRV Mall (about 25 minutes from Dedmon). In Blacksburg, I've gotta mention Log Cabin BBQ in the U. Mall. Right across the Blvd. are Five Guys, Macado's, Subway & Starbucks. If you're there early enough, Carol Lee's Doughnuts is out on N. Main, just past the light near the old HS. Cook Out has opened out on S. Main in the old Hardees, across from Gables, and Awful Arthur’s in Kent Square has closed. Salem has too many to list, so I'll just mention the changes since last year ... On West Main near Spartan Square, the Five Guys has closed, as has it's replacement, Burger Bistro. Sam's Hot Dog Stand has re-opened, a Firehouse Subs has opened, and a Chick-fil-A opens Thur. morning. Out past Krispy Kreme, a Popeye's has opened in the old Paradise Grill location; JJ Chicken and Crown Fried Chicken are also nearby. Bastians Bar-B-Q at 419 & 11 has closed. Here's a list of places from WSLS.

Movies

If it's too hot or wet and you want to take in a show, there's 2 options... Radford has a discount twin-cinema in the plaza behind McDonalds and there's a megaplex in the NEV Mall. Here's their Roanoke Times links. And here's a Roanoke Times page of offers that might be of interest.
