West Virginia Tech University will look to break a trend this weekend, and Portsmouth, Ohio, is as good of a place as any to build on the mid-week sweep of Davis and Elkins.
There is still plenty of time for WVU-T to climb up the ladder 🪜in the River States conference standings, but there is a sense of urgency to this weekend.
Four weekends remain in the regular season following this one, so it’s a great time to take care of business on the Diamond 💎.
First Pitch is set for 3pm !
Here is the verbiage used by Trenton Newman’s Mom in describing the second round match her son faced yesterday in Virginia Beach :
” In wrestling, you either win or you learn. Round 2, we learned that if your opponent uses an illegal move, you automatically earn a point! Trenton wrestled a senior from California, that body slammed Trenton illegally. While Trenton did earn a point, he also got the breath knocked out of him.
To quote another teams coach, “It sounded like a basketball being slammed down on concrete.” The ref paused the match for an injury time out & after he was able to breathe again, he got up & went back to wrestling. Im not sure he knows the word quit. Trenton ended up losing round 2 but will be back at it tomorrow in the consolation bracket.”
Kudos to Mom for finding a nice way to describe an unfortunate situation ! Here’s hoping that 🙏 Trenton will have a bounce back today !
Dakota Walls Racing will head back down to Sophia, North Carolina today to run at Caraway Speedway for the third time this season.
Varsity Boys and Girls Track and Field teams will compete on the campus of Emory and Henry in the Blue and Gold High School Invitational.
Middle School 🏫 Track will also compete down in North Carolina in the Mighty Viking Middle School Invitational.

Tammy Tobler mentioned to me at the Softball game last night that Trenton was not the only Cavalier competing in Virginia Beach this weekend. I would welcome 🙏 any information about the efforts of the other two Wrestlers that made the trip!
Vickey Ritchie and our Special Olympics Basketball 🏀 program is set to make its second consecutive trip up to the historic campus of Virginia Military 🪖 Institute in Lexington !
Last year proved to be a fun experience for all involved, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t be the same in year two !
Lexington, Virginia Beach, Emory and Henry in the Commonwealth ➕️ Sophia and Danbury, North Carolina and Portsmouth, Ohio are the Pick Six…
On a personal note 📝, staying back to host Softball and the special evening for Hix Miller and his family, then later finishing up the Girls 👧 Soccer game meant passing on our tickets 🎟 to the game out in Sacramento.
The fact that the Ladies won at the buzzer means we now have tickets 🎟 to the game on Sunday afternoon at 3pm / Noon versus #1 UCLA !!
Flight ✈️ leaves Greensboro at 8:41 pm. with 5pm. for a ✂️off to make the decision. Kira Lawson has the Blue Devils humming right now, but the once beaten Bruins already own a victory over Duke from back in November, and it was by 30 points. On the upside, that was a very talented LSU team that Duke faced last night.
Fun decision to make later today, but either way, there are plenty of people to follow today, even if they are scattered around the East Coast !
Have a Blessed Day 🙌 !
Duke women off to Elite Eight with buzzer-beating 3 vs. LSU 😈 https://thescore.com/s/35034039
