We’re looking at another busy weekend ahead. Hidden Valley is at home Friday against Bassett. Cave Spring has a bye, but the big Knights Crossing cross-country meet is Saturday. And then, of course, there’s lots and lots of rec league games.

If you’re out and about this weekend -- and who won’t be? -- be sure to take your camera, and share whatever photos you take with us at news@swo-co.com. We can show ‘em off here -- and in print -- in full color. By the way, that’s what Quigg Lawrence did. He shared 90 photos from one of the Cave Spring junior varsity volleyball games. That’s one of them there; you can find more of them in this photo gallery.

And speaking of more . . . in this week’s print edition of SWoCo, you’ll see lots of places where say “see The Notebook” for more. Well, here’s a handy guide to finding that “more”:

* Photos from Sylvan Learning Center open house
* Salem-based spa adds location on Franklin Road
* Cave Spring Optimist Club offers $10,000 for a muskie
* Photos from the North Cross art show
* Photos from the Colonial Avenue Baptist mission trip

AND IN SPORTS . . .

You may have noticed we post junior varsity and middle school scores when we have them -- plus any accounts that coaches or fans want to share on any sport, for that matter. Here are the latest from Cave Spring High, Hidden Valley High, Cave Spring Middle, Hidden Valley Middle and North Cross. Plus:

* Photos from the Hidden Valley - Lord Botetourt game. (By the way, we’ll be posting photos from Friday’s Hidden Valley - Bassett game this weekend; look for them here on Saturday.)
* More on the Knights Crossing cross-country meet (We'll also be posting photos this weekend from Knights Crossing, as well, so check back for those.)
* Photos from Cave Spring junior varsity volleyball
* Photos from the Hidden Valley Titan Pee Wee Cheerleaders
* Our Varsity Cast webcast on high school sports.
