Skyhawks survive a dud of a shootout
The L.C. Bird Skyhawks owe Barbara Sitton a big thank you.

Boys: Rebel Invitational: Springers, Eagles, Rebels, Cadets win
Unless you’re a dyed-in-the-wool member of the Highland Springs basketball family, you are going to need a roster to match names, numbers and faces of the current Springers. For just a little while anyway. The learning curve will be small considering the way Aaron Hodnett, Jeri Mask, Sage Reed and Jarvis Threatt, to name a few, performed last night in an 85-62 victory over L.C. Bird at Mills Godwin in the Rebel Invitational Tournament.

Students charged at L.C. Bird High
Five students at Lloyd C. Bird High School in Chesterfield County were charged yesterday with possessing a gun on campus. The names of the students, all males, were not released because of their ages. They ranged in age from 15 to 17. Police said a school security guard observed the students gathered around a vehicle in the school’s parking lot about 7:30 a.m. yesterday. Four of the students fled and one was taken into custody as the guard approached the vehicle. Police recovered a gun from the car.
