No. 23 Chants turn excitement into support for grieving UVA

FILE - The Coastal Carolina cheerleaders lead the team onto the field before an NCAA college football game against Georgia State on Nov. 13, 2021, in Conway, S.C. What looked like a week of opportunity for No. 23 Coastal Carolina quickly became one of grief and unconditional support for the University of Virginia football team the Chants were supposed to play on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022. That game was called off Wednesday, Nov. 16, as Virginia continued grieving their three football players killed by a former member of the Cavaliers last Sunday night, Nov. 13.

McCall will miss three to six weeks with a foot injury sustained a week ago in a win over Appalachian State. The school announced McCall's status Wednesday, Nov. 9. The injury's recovery timeline means that McCall's availability for a potential Sun Belt Conference championship game on Dec. 3 is in question. (AP Photo/Stew Milne, File)
