ALBRIGHT: What a long, crazy ride it has been, Don Fosselman!

Don Fosselman is hanging it up. No, I cannot believe it either. Father Time usually always makes the final save. Fosselman laid out the plan to feed him an easy shot, too. 鈥淚 always said when my youngest grandson reached his senior year I was going to walk away,鈥� he said. But, his coaching skills were still sharp in the farewell season. And, this swan song might just be one of his finest coaching jobs. There was no shortage of questions for this final team. Could Caleb Thomas step in seamlessly in replacement of all-state first-team goalie Jacob McKnight? How would ...

JOHNSTON: Fort Frye football and food for thought

BEVERLY 鈥� Fort Frye鈥檚 Braden Medley pounced on the Dalton fumble at the 2-yard line like it was a sirloin steak. Ah, the sweet taste of Fort Frye victory. Then, Cadet running back Tyler Fisher took an Ian Ellis hand-off and raced, like he was late for Mindy鈥檚 supper, 98 yards to the house. All of a sudden, instead of the Cadets being buried in pasta, 21-7, they鈥檇 knotted the score at 14-all. 鈥淭hat was big, right at the beginning of the game,鈥� said FFHS head chef Eric Huck afterwards. 鈥淭hey (Dalton Bulldogs) were about ready to score and we got a turnover. Then, we ran a ...

MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK: WVU鈥坙oss not good for sleep

Those among you who attend WVU home football games may have noticed that for some reason the return trip from Morgantown across Route 50 seems to become longer and longer.

Indeed it was the kind of performance that would cause a coach sleepless nights. The defense, which played so well at ...

ALBRIGHT: South’s Brandon Penn can add to鈥圞ennedy Award resume tonight

Raising the roof seemed appropriate. Hopefuls for the vacated South quarterback position needed to gain as much possible arm strength in the offseason. Nate Tanner鈥檚 hiring as the next Patriots鈥� grid-iron head coach marked a new era in more than one way. Throwing motions after all ...

JOHNSTON: Joe Bergin feeling, looking good

Joe Bergin has had an amazing comeback. The seventh-year Marietta College men鈥檚 boss faced a life without Pioneer soccer for five-plus weeks last May and June with a heart issue and a journey to the Cleveland Clinic. But happy to say, Bergin, a former MC soccer standout and 1986 grad, was back coaching and preparing for the 2019 season at the start of the summer. 鈥淭hey fixed all the things they needed to fix, and the heart works,鈥� said Bergin after Marietta College defeated the Baldwin Wallace University Yellow Jackets, 3-1, Saturday night in a showdown match at Marietta ...

ALBRIGHT: Bulldogs versus Yellowjackets is as big as games come

One hearty 鈥淭hank you鈥� goes out to the Williamstown and Doddridge County football teams. The Bulldogs and Yellowjackets successfully executing the game plan against Parkersburg Catholic and Valley (Wetzel) respectively last week brought to life this column.

One of the game of the year candidates play out under the light at the northern Wood County high school. Much like one season ago, Bobby Burnside鈥檚 Bulldogs (8-0) and Terry Smith鈥檚 Yellowjackets (8-1) enter this ...
