From The Blog: The Cinderella Ball New York Giants linebacker Clint Sintim, a Virginia standout and Sabre.com "Beyond The Lawn" contributor, is supporting a great cause in the Washington D.C. area. Here's a message from Clint about the Cinderella Ball:
Sintim is taking on the title of Prince Charming on Sunday, June 3 to escort his sister Brittany to the Cinderella Ball at The Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington D.C. The Cinderella Ball is a prom for students with a disability or lifethreatening illness. Clint's sister, Brittany, is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neuro-development disorder that leads to impaired language, communication and social skills, affecting 1 in 88 American youth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Ball provides a unique and unduplicated opportunity for Washington D.C.'s Capital Area disabled youth, who are often sidelined in social activities, to attend a prom event like none other, including a private dinner, a concert by Grammy Award-winning duo Mary Mary, and a dance. "This is an outstanding event with a meaningful message," Sintim said in a news release. "I'm honored to be able to escort my sister to A Cinderella Ball. This is a night our family won't soon forget." Sintim and his sister will join other students and their families as they walk down the red carpet at the Pennsylvania Avenue entrance to The Willard InterContinental Hotel, while forty Marines from Quantico Marine Base form the ceremonial sword arch, welcoming guests to the ball. The Walt Disney Company's Cinderella will be waiting inside to greet each student as they enter the hotel. Once inside, the students and their families will experience Mary Mary in concert.

The tournament runs Wednesday through Sunday (May 23-27) at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C. Virginia is joined in Division A by No. 1 seed Florida State (43-12, 24-6), No. 5 Clemson (32-24, 16-14) and No. 8 Georgia Tech (33-24, 12-18). Virginia will play Georgia Tech at 11 a.m. Friday and Florida State at 3 p.m. Saturday. North Carolina (42-13, 22-8) is the No. 2 seed and will be joined in Division B by No. 3 NC State (38-15, 19-11), No. 6 Miami (34-19, 16-14) and No. 7 Wake Forest (32-22, 13-17). Under the pool-play format, each team will play one game against each of the other three opponents in its division Wednesday-Saturday (May 23-26). The two teams with the best records within their respective division brackets will advance to the title game on Sunday, May 27, with the winner earning the ACC's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. Game times Wednesday through Saturday are set for 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The championship game will begin at noon Sunday. Virginia concluded the regular season with a 36-16-1 record, including an 18-12 mark in the ACC as it finished second in the Coastal Division. The Cavaliers won 12 of their final 14 games in the regular season. UVa is the tournament's reigning champion. The Cavaliers have won three tournament championships - 1996, 2009 and 2011.
A Monica Wright Update From WNBA.com and the Minnesota Lynx Monica Wright's teammates and coaches don't hold back superlatives while describing her ability on the court. Ask coach Cheryl Reeve and she'll use the words elite, athletic and strong. Lindsay Whalen focused on Wright's ability to adjust her game. Guard Seimone Augustus simply said Wright is built to get to the rim. "We always laugh about it because she's got some of the biggest shoulders on the team," Augustus said. "She's got that football build, and she uses them well. She turns that corner, and it's like money in the bank." That's the part of her game Wright has noticeably improved through two preseason games. Once described as a mid-range shooter, she is now beginning to use that athleticism she possesses and take it to the basket. It was a big part of her game on Tuesday, an 82-61 win over the Chicago Sky at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion. And if she continues to bring that ferocity to the court, it could pose big problems for Minnesota's opponents throughout the 2012 campaign. "She really took to heart some of the things we talked about, being able to get to the rim and finish," Reeve said. "She's my player where when the defense gets intense and really gets pushed up on us, she's so fast and explosive. She can get by you."

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 108 - Oct. 10, 2003 Virginia sacks North Carolina
Freshman receiver Fontel Mines broke into the spotlight as well, catching a touchdown on his first ever college reception and snagging two other passes for a total of 45 yards. His touchdown catch makes him the second true freshman receiver this year to have his first collegiate catch go for a touchdown. Deyon Williams did the same against Western Michigan. Defensively the Cavs found their stride, limiting Carolina to just 58 yards rushing and sacking the normally elusive Darian Durant five times. Linebackers Darryl Blackstock, Ray Mann, Ahmad Brooks and Mark Miller all were in on at least one sack apiece. Cornerback Jamaine Winborne caused a fumble in Carolina's backfield that was recovered by Blackstock. Read SabreMail No. 108 here. |
