First, David Ching mentions that the Little League World Series champs from Columbus, Ga. will lead the Dawg Walk into the Stadium before Saturday’s game with UAB. The champs were also on hand for Tech’s game against Notre Dame, so let’s hope our home team puts on a better performance worthy of their accomplishment.

Second, Deanna Nolan will be honored during the first half of the game. Nolan is a former Lady Bulldog basketball player who now plays for the Detroit Shock of the WNBA (along with other former Lady Dogs Kara Braxton and Kedra Holland-Corn). Detroit recently won the WNBA title, and Nolan was named MVP for the championship series. She has been a standout guard and WNBA All-Star for several seasons. So the women’s equivalent of Dwyane Wade is a Dawg, and she’ll be recognized on the Sanford field tomorrow. Congrats Tweety!
