He hung in there until the very end ay 1:00 am and I am proud to call him my friend. After the Game one heartbreak yesterday, he insisted that his mom take him home to get his "Keels Deals" shirt that was so lucky on Day 1. He wore it with pride during the last game of the night. Keely was pleased. He was almost asleep right before one when I asked him if he wanted to do one more cheer and those little eyes popped wide open like they were on a switch, and he was 110% ready to roll. Thank you to all of Hokie Nation that cheer him on. He is an inspiration to all of us.
