If you follow high school football, Week 10 had Jefferson Forest making the case that it shouldn't be doubted on the Class 4 state stage. The Lynchburg News and Advance says the rest of the postseason pictures are coming into focus, too.

Bridgewater College beat Roanoke 51-48 on Saturday. It's the Eagles' first win over Roanoke in school history. Parker Burke led the game-winning drive, and Shane Glenn's kick won it as time expired.

  • Offensive player of the week: Parker Burke
  • Defensive player of the week: Oscar Whitely
  • Special teams player of the week: Shane Glenn, a sophomore
  • Glenn also went 6-of-6 on extra points

The Eagles swept the weekly football awards Sunday. Whitely, a senior and Powhatan native, made 12 tackles, 10 of them solo. That's his seventh-straight game with double-digit tackles.

Richmond's Texas Inn, founded in Lynchburg, will stay open after community support

If you've eaten at a , here's good news: the Richmond location is staying open. Owner Dave Saunders opened it as the fourth Texas Inn, which was founded in Lynchburg nearly 100 years ago.

A fire marshal visit closed the restaurant after problems with its hood, HVAC and ventilation systems. Saunders was quoted around $20,000 to fix them and announced it would close. Then contractors, some from the Lynchburg area, offered discounts. One offered electrical and welding repairs for the cost of a couple cheeseburgers.

Saunders said he was assuming $20,000 plus to reopen. Offers of help came in before the doors were sealed.

  • Address: 2901 Park Ave., Richmond
  • Opened in Richmond: 2024
  • Saunders' other restaurants: three, in Lynchburg and Harrisonburg

Employee Sam Barton, who has worked there from day one and coaches soccer, put together a proposal to take over operations. "It's very humbling. I had no idea we really had that much support," Saunders said.

Repairs are underway and ownership is moving to Sam Barton
