Friday the Mustang Boys played a tight game against district rival Radford, falling 81-73 in a game that went to overtime.

The Mustangs were looking for a win at home in their “Witness the Whiteout” game, amid a large community turnout for East Mont’s second matchup with Radford.

Check all things Eastern Montgomery County in “Best of the New River Valley” survey

The Roanoke Times is conducting a survey of the Best of the NRV. You can access the poll by clicking here.

While some choices are a given (Is there another possible answer other than Shawsville Fourth of July to No. 54′s Best parade?) some questions will require a bit more work.

For instance, the Waldron Family Y isn’t even listed as a choice for No. 64′s Best place to work out. You’ll have to check “Other” and type it in the box. The same holds true for No. 52′s Best festival (EastMont Tomato Festival, of course).

We all already know EastMont is the best of the NRV. Let’s make sure the rest of the NRV knows it, too.

Be our guest in January at the Waldron Family Y

Stop by and try out the Y for free for a day. Work out on our cardio and strength equipment, or try out one of our 21 weekly fitness classes. Click here to see a description of all the different classes — from Chair Xpress and Mod Fit to Pilates and Power Pump.
