At the beginning of the Cross Country season I made a statement that I believed Wetzel and Tyler county schools had two of the top 10 runners in the state in Class A. As proven by the results at the State Championships I was right. Not only did we have two runners in the top 10 we had three. ...
How many players does it take to field a high school football team? That seems to be a question we are running into year in and year out among small Class A high schools. Actually the question should be how many players does it take to safely field a high school football team? From my ...

People are telling me they are catching some good sized Walleye right here in the Ohio River. If you've never eaten good Walleye out of the lake, you've don't know what good fish is. I am surprised that they are catching Walleye and they tell me they really look clean, although that doesn't ...
