UNDATED (AP) _ Louisville has paused all football activities and its Saturday game at Virginia has been postponed at least a week due to a spike in COVID-19 cases. Louisville’s athletic director says the program has 10 players who have tested positive for COVID-19 and five players in quarantine because of contact tracing. Nine Louisville players, mostly on defense, were held out of last week’s 42-35 loss to Virginia Tech. Coach Scott Satterfield said afterward that some of the absences were COVID-19-related.

Junior League of Bryan-College Station Announces New Fundraiser
Junior League of Bryan-College Station announces a new fundraiser, Betting on the Brazos. “Our theme is Casino-Inferno because we are having it at an old fire station,” says Kim Sailor, Vice President of Communications. The game night, which includes blackjack and poker tables, will be held at the newly renovated Visit College Station building in front of City Hall. Sailor says this event replaces Junior League’s annual Charity Ball. “Charity Ball used to be the only game in town so to speak, and now it feels like more and more organizations have some kind of gala or ball. We wanted to do something different,” says Sailor. Sailor says proceeds will continue to support the league’s signature project, Stuff the Bus. Betting on the Brazos is Saturday, November 9th.
