August 7th -- Former G.W. star Kenny Lewis will not be playing for Virginia Tech this fall. Lewis played in 27 games during his career, starting eight of them. He rushed for 657 yards on 175 carries and scored nine rushing touchdowns in his career. He also caught 11 passes for 57 yards and a score.   “We met today and Kenny decided to give it up,” Beamer said. “I think he’s got a great future in administration [where Lewis had done an internship] and he’s doing things that go in that direction. He’s been a great performer for us and a great guy, and we wish him well.”

August 2nd -- Practice starts today!! Also take note---all G.W. home games this fall will start at 7:00PM, rather than our traditional 7:30PM kickoffs. Three of our five road games will also be 7:00PM kickoffs. The only 7:30PM kickoffs will be our road games at Hillside on 8/27 and Battlefield on 10/1.
