Virginia Tech Football: Everything From Head Coach Brent Pry After First day of Fall Camp

Football season is almost upon us.

As the season begins to get closer and closer and the calendar turns to August, Virginia Tech is now back on the practice field. The Hokies are a team that is getting a lot of attention going into 2024 and were picked 6th in the ACC preseason media poll that was released today. These are the most expectations that the program has faced in some time.

After Virginia Tech’s first day of Fall Camp, head coach Brent Pry met with the media and answered some questions. Here is everything that he had to say.

1. On his impressions for the first day of practice…

“Yeah let me tell you, the guys came out and worked really maturely, good energy, and I thought that it was a quality practice. I pointed out some thing that we need to do better on that side of the ball, but at the same time, even though it was good work, we gotta have a better day tomorrow and that was the last message that I sent to them.”

2. On what his goals are regarding the practice structure…

“Yeah, so we have like five or six three day mini camps and that is how we approach each one. It is three practices, three days of meetings, this is what we are trying to accomplish, these are the types of practices that we are going to have from an intensit standpoint. Lets worry about mini camp one as coaches and players right now and let’s go and win that.

Denver police arrest man suspected in fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue

Denver police have arrested the man they believe was responsible for a fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue on Thursday afternoon.

According to an arrest affidavit, the Denver Dispatch Center received a 911 call around 12:35 p.m. to report a shooting in the 10100 block of E. Virginia Ave. The caller told dispatch workers that a white SUV was fleeing the scene.

Responding officers found a man who was critically wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Investigators reportedly discovered a handgun, the victim’s cellphone and money in the area where the shooting happened. They also located surveillance footage in the area, which appeared to show the victim exiting a white Chevrolet Tahoe as gunshots could be heard. He walked to the east, looking for help, before collapsing on the ground.

The affidavit says a conversation was discovered on the victim’s Instagram account in which he was speaking with another person who was selling a firearm.

Aurora police assisted investigators using the Flock License Plate Reader system, identifying the Tahoe at several locations. Police said the vehicle had unique characteristics on the passenger rear wheel. The affidavit says that, before the shooting, the vehicle had a rear license plate, but after the shooting, it was missing.

Investigators found the vehicle, executed a search warrant and found a fired cartridge case in the back seat. A person connected to the case reportedly told officers that he drove his friend, later identified as Daniel Puga Villegas, to meet a person to collect money from him. However, he says an argument took place, and Villegas shot the victim, then ripped off his temporary rear license plate and, while still holding the gun, told him to drive.

Villegas was arrested on Sunday with assistance from the APD and is facing charges of first-degree murder.
