The Brunswick County Board of Supervisors convened on November 20, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including the recognition of local athletic achievements and the approval of a new real estate agreement. The meeting began with an invocation led by Dr. Harris, emphasizing gratitude and safety as the holiday season approaches.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the recognition of the Brunswick Academy Varsity Volleyball team, which recently secured its first state championship in school history. The team achieved this milestone by winning the BISAA Division 4 state tournament with an impressive record of 33 wins and just one loss. The board celebrated the team's accomplishments, acknowledging their status as Virginia Colonial Conference champions and their dominance in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association.
Following the volleyball team's recognition, the board also honored the Brunswick Academy Varsity Football team, which has now claimed the VISFL Division II championship for three consecutive years. Their latest victory against Southampton Academy solidified their reputation, with a remarkable overall record of 33 wins and 4 losses over the past three seasons. The board's commendation highlighted the team's consistent performance and dedication.
In addition to these recognitions, the board approved an agenda that included a new business item concerning a real estate purchase agreement for the Stonewall property. This addition reflects ongoing efforts to manage and develop land resources within the county, although specific details regarding the implications of this agreement were not discussed during the meeting.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to celebrating local achievements while also addressing important administrative matters. The recognition of the volleyball and football teams not only fosters community pride but also emphasizes the role of local sports in enhancing the county's cultural fabric. As Brunswick County moves forward, the board's decisions will continue to shape the community's development and engagement.
