RICHMOND, VA Fifty years can be a long time, especially when it means reconnecting with someone from your distant past. But for Betty Conner and Peter Nickless, all it took was five decades and a global pandemic to bring to lives back together.
Conner, a 71-year-old retiree and Nickless, a carefree sailor, had attended Richmond s Huguenot High School together in the 1960s. In their high school days, Nickless was the co-captain of the football team and where Conner s shy personality kept her from becoming overly involved in school activities.
Fred Jeter | 12/17/2020, 6 p.m. Virginia Commonwealth University guard NahâShon âBonesâ Hyland, No. 5 jersey, is open to launch another 3-pointer at a recent game.
Players, even coaches, come and go. But one thing seems constant regarding Virginia Commonwealth University hoopsâ the 3-pointer is a Rams center-ring attraction.
Since the 2009-2010 season, VCU has made 2,951 3-pointers compared to 2,183 for the teamâs opponents.
Thatâs a difference of 768 three-balls, accounting for a jaw- dropping 2,304 point advantage. With that a key factor, VCU has ranked among the NCAA Division Iâs most successful programs for a decade.
With the annual 3-point harvest, no wonder VCU was long ago nicknamed â3CU.â This season offers more of the same.
