Overall, first-year WVU Tech football coach Scott Tinsley says he saw some good things from his Golden Bears as they concluded spring practice with a controlled scrimmage Sunday.

The dark clouds that resulted in a brief, torrential downpour Saturday matched Chris Walls’ mood for most of the afternoon.
After a 52-minute rain delay, Walls’ Oak Hill Red Devil baseball team escaped with an 11-9 win over the Valley Greyhounds, but the coach was far from ecstatic afterward.

In high school girls softball action on Thursday, the Valley girls continued their strong play, defeating Greenbrier West 13-7 in a varsity contest and topping the Cavaliers 7-5 in jayvee play.

The Valley and Fayetteville girls split a softball doubleheader Wednesday. Valley captured the first game 2-0 and Fayetteville rebounded with a 15-0 shutout in the nightcap.

Tim Epling has been pleased with the performance of his pitching staff this season. Still, part of him can’t help but wonder, what if.
What if one of his top prospects, a native of the Dominican Republic, had been able to obtain a green card?

Scott Tinsley has been doing a lot of teaching the past couple of weeks.

Reggie Carrick has resigned as women’s basketball coach at WVU Tech.
Carrick, who oversaw the Tech women for the past four seasons (the first as interim head coach then the final three as full-time head mentor), announced his intentions late last week. He and his wife, Shauna, and children Carter, Liam and Aislin left Sunday for his native Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where he plans to enter the private business world.

After hard-to-digest baseball losses to Scott and Van earlier last week, the Valley Greyhounds were in need of a pick-me-up.
It came in the form of a 9-4 triumph over Fayette County foe Fayetteville Wednesday.

In last week’s Oak Hill Invitational high school track and field meet, Raleigh County teams led the charge.
