As I was sitting in the media room following Williamstownâs 50-47 Class AA state championship game victory versus Poca on Saturday afternoon and looking up at the podium, it was 100% all smiles for âJacket boss Scott Sauro along with players Sam Cremeans, Xavier Caruthers and Baylor ...
One year ago, the 2020 Calhoun County girlâs basketball team constructed a convincing argument to be the best in the history of the program. It didnât take long for another group to come along and eclipse them. Take a bow, 2021 Red Devils. By running all the way to the state semifinals, they became the first team (boys or girls) to win a game at the state tournament. Sure, Cameron cut that stay short during the very next contest, but the overall compilation of work screamed a success - a 14-5 record, with a sectional and regional championship undoubtedly is something ...
Sydney Bairdâs follow-up to her explosive freshman debut reads as a huge success. That is not an opinion. Or a take. It is a fact. The Webster County baller put together a sophomore resume dwarfing her first-year stats. Her scoring rocketed up from 23 points per game to 29.8 markers. Alongside that, her shooting percentage jumped from just 50 percent to a ridiculous 59 percent. Two things all the more improbable when considering she read as public enemy number one. OK, maybe it wasnât that bad. But rest assured, coaches certainly stayed aware of her abilities. It is ...
Parkersburgâs Bryson Singer is definitely keeping busy and most assuredly got his name out there a little bit more this past weekend at the Elite 11 Regional, which took place Sunday at Brownsburg High School in Indianapolis. Quarterbacks from across the country came to the sixth regional event to test their skills in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, the 20-yard shuttle and the kneeling power ball throw. When it was all said and done, the current Big Red more than held his own. In fact, he finished third at the regional behind Zachary High Schoolâs (La.) Eli Holstein and Carmel ...
The Parkersburg Catholic girls basketball team faces a few hurdles going into next season. Not any problems with in-fighting or squabbles over playing time. By all accounts, those issues have never been concerns. Picture, instead, a pie chart with 11 pieces. Now, take out the chunks labeled Aaliyah Brunny, Jenna Boice, and Madison Ross. What remains are disproportionate amounts of space. How the Crusaderettes fill those gaps means everything. Obviously, everyoneâs focusing on whatâs lost after Brunny walks across the graduation stage, and we will get there. But, Boice and ...
Lakyn Joy was pretty quiet. Nearly silent, in fact. She was one-for-something from the field with just three points. âI didnât really know how the night was going to go,â she said. But that wasnât the worst part. St. Marys, predictably, continued fighting in the third quarter of a regional co-final. Howie Meeks and company were clamping down on defense and taking away the Yellowjacketsâ two biggest scoring options in Jayla Wiseman and Nicole Reynolds. Now screamed as good a time as any for someone else stepping up and aiding the Yellowjackets in their quest to ...
