PHS, South compete in track regionals

CHARLESTON -- The girls 4x800-meter relay race was a microcosm of Friday’s Class AAAA South Region track and field meet at UC Stadium at Laidley Field. Cabell Midland's relay unit wanted to improve on its time and run under 10 minutes. Hurricane’s foursome just wanted to be one of the top four finishers and earn automatic qualification for the state meet that begins next Friday. Both very nearly got their wish. Hurricane’s runners – Ella Dye, Ella Sturm, Lexi Elmore and Mackenzie Cloud – won the event with a time of 10:00.99. Meanwhile, the Knights’ team of Savannah ...

Mountaineers fall to Horned Frogs, 4-0

GRANVILLE – That thud you may have heard coming out of Kendrick Family Ballpark on Friday night was WVU’s chances of winning a Big 12 championship hitting a brick wall. The pinging noise you heard was the reason why. TCU’s Preston Gamster, Kyuss Gargett and Noah Franco all hit solo home runs – a total of 1,191 feet of them – and Horned Frogs starter Lance Davis hurled a complete-game shutout in a 4-0 victory.
