Draft bears fruit for several Cavs, but reveals holes

By Sean McLernon | April 29, 2005

In a month usually dominated by Major League Baseball and the NBA playoffs, there is one weekend in April when these two sports are pushed into the background in favor of America's new favorite pastime. It may be months before the beginning of the NFL season, but millions of sports fans were glued to ESPN last Saturday -- as they are on the third Saturday of every April -- to see where last season's NCAA football stars will begin their pro careers. Virginia fans got to see the selection of seven Cavaliers in this year's draft, the highest number in school history.

Hanging up the pen and leaving it all on the page

By J.D. Moss | April 28, 2005

Senior Matt Street's three-run homerun in the bottom of the sixth inning broke a previously close game wide open, and the Cavaliers went on to defeat William & Mary 9-4 at Davenport Field last night. "Coach Mac [Kevin McMullan] just told me, pretend like the infield's in, get a sac fly," Street said.

Four year later, a columnist's left only with a few laughs

By Bart Isley | April 27, 2005

I swore when I took over as a columnist there was no way I'd write a narcissistic, sentimental fourth-year column. But, since all I can think of is the Green Bay Packers' frustrating NFL draft and my history term paper, I'm left with a slightly sentimental fourth-year column.

Parting memories of a nostalgicCavalier

By Joe Lemire | April 26, 2005

Working as a sports columnist for the Cavalier Daily is an interesting niche. That each column is adorned with a small, full-color headshot has created more than a few awkward social interactions.

National flavor brings softball team closer

By Mickey Cloud | April 26, 2005

California girls have a reputation of just wanting to have fun. The Virginia Cavaliers softball squad certainly isn't doing much to downplay that notion. Six of the 18 players on the softball squad are from California, and two more hail from the west coast.

Former Cavalier point guard excels as coach

By James Wagner | April 26, 2005

Who is Ricky Stokes? Sadly most common sports fans will not be able to recognize him by name, but he is the man behind an amazingly long list of accomplishments. Former Virginia basketball player (1981-84) and current East Carolina head basketball coach, Stokes has been an example of success on both the court and the bench. As a player, Stokes was a member of the glory Virginia teams of the early '80s that dominated the ACC.
