extremely close night in iowa. while the republican winner was announced shortly after the caucuses, the democrats were forced to wait until this morning. ted cruz came out on top on the republican side and hillary clinton for the democrats. with all precincts reporting.. clinton led bernie sanders by less than three- tenths of one- percent. the iowa democratic party declared the contest the closest in its caucus history. political analyst ed lynch says the big wins for clinton and cruz mean very different things. he says cruz is looking surprisingly strong... while clinton might have more to worry about. for democrats, this means the candidates may be looking at a very long race, with sanders expected to win in the upcoming new hampshire primary. on the republican side, with cruz proving projections wrong by beating donald trump, the field is more muddied than ever.

science chair: 00:35:11 "what the republicans have to be pleased about is that their voters are intense and they are motivated and they are willing to spend that much time with the threat of a major snow storm coming in iowa at the very time they were meeting." lynch says he expects voters to latch on to one of the republican candidates quickly, predicting the party will have its nominee by march. he says the democratic race will likely stretch much longer than that. the montgomery county sheriff's office announces a new partnership with local organization help save the next girl. sheriff hank partin revealed plans for a help save the next girl wrap that will go on a patrol car in the next few weeks. he also says a main priority is to get a chapter of the organization in every montgomery county high school. right now.. auburn and eastern montgomery high schools are the only ones without it. sheriff hank partin / montgomery county i think the events of this past week in our community just makes us realize how important

he's a big time talent. a couple linebackers who have committed, one out of chesapeake, you have them at 3- stars. why is that? tevante becket and emmanuel belmar both are 3 stars. you watch tevante becket, he has probably some of he best film you're going to see. wherever the ball is, this guy finds a way to get to it but a little short, he's one of those guys we would classify as a tweener. emmanuel belmar is a little taller so i think he can roam, a little rangier guy who can get sideline to sideline so both of those guys are going to be big editions the next couple years. this weekend a lot of these players were in blacksburg, any defensive players that we think are on the fence and will flip and sign tomorrow. i think tomon fox, the 4-star defensive end, is teammates with belmar down in collins hill outside of atlanta, probably the biggest name guy with a possibility. jaquan bailey, a 3-star defensive end from raines, he's already decommitted so he would be so much of a flip but we are talking about a guy who can fill that role of dadi nicholas and that vacancy he has so it'll be interesting to see

fence right now that are already committed somewhere so they've got somewhere if they don't choose virginia tech, but i think virginia tech can get some big time steals. there you have it, jason stamm of hokiehaven.com and rivals.com and i'm alyssa rae in blacksburg for wsls 10 sports. to nascar now.. and cup star---tony stewart...has more self inflicted health issues. stewart's been hospitalized after being involved in an accident in an all-terrian vehicle-- he reportedly flipped an atv on the west coast..and was airlifted to a nearby hospital with a back injury. stewart plans to retire from sprint cup racing after this season.. and his final season...will begin with the 44 year old..recovering--- again.. highly touted ol lineman austin clark of rockbridge co has left the hokies football team..but will remain at the university.. former hokies placekicker cody journell will be playing pro football in germany... and cave
