February 14, 2009

FRONT ROYAL -- Listening to the public address announcer broadcast his name at least 11 times during the third quarter, Skyline forward Eric King was obviously having a stellar night.

January 14, 2009

FRONT ROYAL -- Step through and twist and throw was how Alan Kroh described the head drag. The 215-pound Skyline sophomore called it his main move -- one that's he been practicing all season.
