"Monarchs' Big Win, Students Lead on Sustainability: A Virginia Beach Local Pulse Update"
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.
We're starting off this Sunday with some great news from our local sports scene. Old Dominion football had quite the celebration yesterday, finishing their regular season with a 27 to 10 victory over Georgia State. That win gave the Monarchs nine total wins for the first time since 2016, and they finished the season unbeaten at home, also a first since 2016. It was a cold one out there at S.B. Ballard Stadium, with temperatures dropping into the 30s during the second half, but that didn't stop the Monarchs from rushing for over 300 yards. Running back Devin Roche took home the game's most valuable player award after rushing for 137 yards and two touchdowns. ODU will find out on December 7th which bowl game they'll be heading to, and given this strong finish, they're likely looking at one of the Sun Belt's more competitive matchups.
Speaking of local achievements, we want to highlight something really special happening right here in our community. More than 40 high school students from Virginia Beach just became members of a brand new subcommittee focused on community service and sustainability. Students from Ocean Lakes High School and Bayside High School are taking the lead on projects like fighting food waste and organizing clothing swaps for families in need. The Clean Community Commission says they were so overwhelmed with student applications that they decided to start an entire student leaders group. One of the student co-chairs told us that young people really contribute to our future, and that's something we can all get behind. These students are already planning to meet more frequently than every other month because, as one of them put it, there's a lot happening in the city and two months is just too long to wait between meetings.
On the weather front, we're looking at a chilly Sunday here in Virginia Beach. This morning we're sitting at around 37 degrees with partly cloudy skies and a light north wind at about 5 miles per hour. As we head through the day, we can expect temperatures to stay mild, so if you're planning any outdoor activities, grab a light jacket and you'll be comfortable. Tonight things will cool down even more, so bundle up a bit if you're heading out after sunset.
