Best wishes go out to brand new Delegate Greg Habeeb who broke his foot in two places tonight playing a little bipartisan basketball with his fellow house members.
Get well soon, Greg!

I hope he recuperates completely.
Politics is getting more dangerous every day.
Why is it always the Repub that gets stepped on??
They should be playing hockey anyway…
Hope he gets well soon.
Uh but did they win?
That’s important, right?
I think you get better faster if you win.
JustAnne:
Del. Habeeb tweeted that he made the shot on which he broke his foot, FWIW.
Best wishes for a swift recovery.
The annual Repub vs. Dem basketball game during rhe Assembly session used to be pretty entertaining.
Del. Kirk Cox was the Republicans best player, sort of a scrappy point-gaurd type.
Former Del. Tom Jackson, of Hillsville, who I believe played college ball, was the big star. He was a deadly long-distance gunner. The Dems won several consecutive games on the strategy of feeding him the ball every time down the court. That may be why Republicans redistricted him out in 2001;-)
Our current governor once played an entire game in black dress socks and sneakers. Not a good look.
