Cavaliers Can Clinch Inaugural Commonwealth Challenge
UVa leads the competition, which involves all teams in the two schools' athletics programs with a points system determining the annual winner, by an 11-4 score currently. The Cavaliers can clinch the crown this weekend in Blacksburg at the ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships. If either of the Cav teams finish ahead of Virginia Tech, it will seal the victory for Virginia. A trophy featuring a combination of the red brick prevalent at the University of Virginia and the limestone at Virginia Tech goes to the winning school. The trophy will be presented at the Commonwealth Day football game between the two schools the following fall. There are also traveling plaques for the winning team in each sport.

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Johnnie Lett's high school career has come to an end. In his final season, the 6-9, 225-pound power forward/center averaged 15.6 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks per game in leading Ben C. Rain (Mobile, AL) to a 17-8 record. His numbers were similar to his junior season, when he finished averaging 18 points and 15 rebounds per contest. Lett was a finalist for 5A State Player of the Year his junior year. Lett, who has the frame to add maybe 40 more pounds, is expected to add more rebounding and defense to the Virginia roster for the 2006-2007 season. Stay tuned to the Sabre EDGE for further updates on UVa's 2006 signees and commitments, as well as a look at the 2007 targets.
A top men's basketball target in the 2008 class will be 6-8, 215-pound Hanover (VA) forward Ed Davis. Davis' sophomore season recently came to an end, and the first-team Capital district performer averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds, seven blocks and two assists per game.
In women's basketball recruiting, Forest Park (Woodbridge, VA) star Monica Wright was named to the East squad on the McDonald's All-American team. Wright is a 5-11, 156-pound guard who averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season. The McDonald's All-American game is on March 29th at 7:30 EST.
Virginia has offered the following in-state 2007 football recruits . at least as far as we've been able to confirm.
Of those prospects, Virginia is in very good shape with Lalich, Burd, Taliaferro and Williams right now and is certainly at least in serious contention with the rest. Stay tuned to the Sabre Edge for further updates on UVa's 2006 recruits and a look into the 2007 class. You can sign up for Sabre Edge here. |
