LYNCHBURG, Va. – Our 1st and 10 Camp Tour continues in the Seminole District with the Heritage Pioneers, who are looking to take a big leap this season. After finishing above .500 last year with a young team, the Pioneers now have a core group that’s another year older and wiser.

Based on his friendly welcome, you might assume that the man is the owner. But Ollie Hayes, who goes by “OC,” is just one of the regular customers at this tiny grill in Butner. He’s 80, by the way. He’s been coming here nearly every day for the past two years.
