From his classroom at Shelby High School, Mike Wilbanks has seen history unfold, be it through the terrorist attacks on 9-11, or the beginning of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. But never has he seen a year like 2020, which so closely mirrored the things in his lesson plans. 2020 was definitely a unique moment. All of this stuff happened at the same time. The social movement, the social unrest, the political divide all of those things happened at one time. In history you could take those things at three different times and see them, but I don t know that I ve ever seen it all wrapped together like it is now, said Wilbanks.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The Virginia Tech football team has voted to decline any potential bowl bids this year, which ends the Hokiesâ postseason streak at 27 consecutive bowls.
Techâs run of success from 1993-2019 was the longest-active bowl streak in the nation, and the fourth-longest all-time.
âI think it speaks to the difficulty of the season that theyâve been through,â says Fuente. âThere were players that wanted to play. They were passionate about that. But we were going to do this all-together, or not. This was ultimately about our kids, and I think theyâve sacrificed enough.â
