James Monroe 14 Weir 7 Getting ready to start 4th quarter Weir at midfield and driving. tight game....

Still...302 Yards passing...Wassum 122 yards receiving! Beckett 118 yards receiving! ...Over 1000 yards passing in the past three games (is that right??...if not, I know its close to that) Wassum is one heck of a receiver! And I think some teams doubt Beckett's speed... INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing — South Charleston, Dylan Turner 11-58, Aaron Slusher 11-54, Tyler Harris 8-19, Wayne Wurster 1-4, Amari Smith 5-0, Tevin Spurlock 1-0, Team 1-(minus 1), Marcel Brown 2-(minus 3). Bluefield, Jake Lilly 12-38, Marcus Patterson 2-(minus 4), Will Cole 2-(minus 10). Passing — South Charleston, Tyler Harris 3-8-0 102, Marcel Brown 4-5-0 83. Bluefield, Will Cole 23-47-3 302. Receiving — South Charleston, Aaron Dobson 4-154, Thomas Peden 1-23, Dylan Turner 1-5, Tevin Spurlock 1-3. Bluefield, Cody Wassum 9-122, Levi Beckett 8-118, Marcus Patterson 5-44, Jake Lilly 1-18.

Not to look past Scott...b/c I think it will be a good game the second time around...but from what I have heard about Wayne, the Bluefield/Wayne match up would be a great game! In that bottom half of the bracket...if Magnolia and Grafton are in that mix...should make an interesting bracket. Gonna be an exciting playoff in AA!

would be good to play Scott again. Could be a totally different game with turnovers under control. And with it being at Scott (if its played there) maybe Jesco White will come by for a visit.

Here are projected final ratings after last nights games. 1. Keyser 9 0 14.222 2. Grafton 9 1 11.900 3. Wayne 9 1 11.600 4. Weir 8 2 10.000 5. Chapmanville 8 2 10.000 6. Ravenswood 8 2 9.300 7.

wow....gonna be a wild season! Never though GC would pass by Richlands by that much...thought it would be closer...and congrats to Tazewell on the win over GW!

On over toward Princeton the Princeton Elks is a pretty good 9 hole course. Pipestem has a par 3 course that is good...nothing really around for beginners... Both of these are ok for the beginner though. I'm not sure down where you are (toward Richlands). I do know that on top of Bradshaw Mountain there is a course that has indoor carpet for greens (LOL). It would probably be good for a beginner, but the greens are really bad with that carpet...50 times worse that trying to play a putt putt. Others that are close to Bluefield...Wolf Creek down in Bland is nice...Fountain Springs near Peterstown is nice... The ones I have recommended would require travel...

grundy will be a force for at least the next three years... I hope they stay AA!

cburg has 1st locked, and grundy has 2nd locked...this was before the finals... 1. Christiansburg 150.50 2. Grundy 130.50 3. Poquoson 97.00 4. Millbrook 86.50 5. Northside 58.50 6. Brookville 56.50 7. William Byrd 55.00 8. Brentsville 48.00 9. Tabb 47.50 10. Chancellor 44.00

Grundy has 11 in semis CBurg has 12 Team score Grundy 113 CBurg 111

LOL Well, I would hope that he would keep the high caliber teams like Wayne, Bluefield...if he would ever want them to go to Wheeling again.

James Monroe had not sent the contract...just came today.

Teresa was a GREAT woman! She was one of the things I looked forward to when going to Grundy...cutting up with her! She kept me out of trouble a few times too. She will be sadly missed. Prayers go out to the Lee Family.

Its a done deal! Wrestling programs will start at Bluefield, PikeView, and Princeton for the 2008-2009 school year. Montcalm has the money available to start a program, but are in need of a coach! So, if there is anyone out there with proper wrestling experience...coach is needed! Coaches: Bluefield-Bobby Jenks PikeView-Charles Vannatter Princeton-Brett Bowyer I think that this is a great addition to sports in Mercer County! Long overdue addition!

Any word on Matt and Josh's Mom?

count me in

Wow...big words by Pat White....Stewart should be head coach.....

It was nice that they showed WVU Band and their guy baton twirler...great...could've done without the guy baton twirler on the screen...

For 'the Kids,' Wheeling a Winner Wednesday, November 7, 2007 By THE NEWS-REGISTER- The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register Wheeling is not the only city in West Virginia capable of hosting the annual “Super Six†high school football championship games. Other communities have excellent playing fields. Other areas have plenty of resources to handle the games. Yet, for 14 years, Wheeling has been home to the “Super Six.†Representatives of other communities have attempted to convince the state Secondary Schools Activities Commission that they should have a shot at the games. Time after time, however, when SSAC officials met to decide where the games should be held, the winner was Wheeling. SSAC Executive Director Gary Ray, during a visit to Wheeling this week, said the reason for our community’s dominance is obvious. Of the local residents who, down through the years, have handled the event, Ray had this observation: “They focus on the kids.†Howard Corcoran, an Ohio County Board of Education member who also serves on the local “Super Six†Committee, recalled the time many years ago when a group of local residents decided to make a bid to hold the championship games in Wheeling. The late Sam Mumley was a key member of that group, and his advice, according to Corcoran, was to focus on “the kids, the kids, the kids.†It is a formula that has worked well for Wheeling — and for high school athletes, scholars honored during the event, their parents and fans. A new system of handling the championship games is being adopted by the SSAC. Instead of awarding the games to communities for two-year stretches, the commission will approve contracts for three years, with one-year extensions possible. That is a good change, in our opinion — and not just because it will make life easier for the local “Super Six†committee. The change will provide for more continuity in planning the event. Undoubtedly, Wheeling’s committee will be challenged by representatives of other cities in January, when the SSAC again will consider proposals to host the “Super Six.†We commend members of the local committee — along with the many volunteers and sponsors who help them — for their efforts in the past. We have little doubt that, in January, the SSAC once again will award the championship games to Wheeling — simply because “the kids, the kids, the kids†is an unbeatable formula for success.

SSAC Changes Super Six Bidding Tuesday, November 6, 2007 By JIM ELLIOTT- The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register Gary Ray can do little but smile when he visits Wheeling. As executive director of the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission, Ray knows a good thing for his agency when he sees it — and the good thing that has come out of Wheeling over the past 14 years is how the city has changed the face of high school sports with its handling of the Super Six state high school football championships. What has set Wheeling apart is that the focus of the event is on the kids, Ray said. The local Super Six Committee works hard to honor not only the athletes, but also those who excel in the classroom. “Wheeling’s Super Six Committee is made of special men,†Ray said. “If you’ve ever listened to these folks in Wheeling ... they focus on the kids.†Wheeling’s success with Super Six has led to a change in how the SSAC will be awarding bids for the event beginning next year. Instead of a two-year contract for the host city, the new contract will be changed to a three-year guarantee with a fourth-year option, Ray said. Super Six will celebrate its 14th season in Wheeling on Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1. The four-year proposal is something the SSAC has made across the board with its state championship sites, designed to allow potential host groups to gain more solid commitments from their sponsors and supporters. “We had the request from many of our sites saying they needed more time to allow their sponsors to grow with them,†Ray said during Monday’s Super Six Media News Conference at the Thunder Club inside WesBanco Arena. The fourth year, or option year, is written as a way to evaluate what’s taking place — both from the host city’s perspective and that of the SSAC, Ray said. If things aren’t going as planned, either side can opt out and have a new bidding process take place after the third year. The last of the two-year proposals ends in mid-January, when Super Six will be back on the auction block at SSAC headquarters in Parkersburg, awaiting the best bid in the eyes of the SSAC board of directors. “As usual, we will be going full force,†said Bernie Dolan, a member of Wheeling’s Super Six Committee. That was just part of the discussion Monday afternoon, with much of the rest of it focusing on what Wheeling has done to progress Super Six into what it is today: A showcase for the kids. “I’m so proud to have Super Six in Wheeling,†city Mayor Nick Sparachane said. “It’s the greatest (public relations) point this city and this community has.†Ohio County Commissioner Tim McCormick echoed what the mayor, and the late Sam Mumley, who led the charge in 1994 to get the games in Wheeling, often said. “We’re very proud to be sponsors of Super Six,†McCormick said. “It’s great to do things to take care of the kids because that’s what this is all about.†The Wheeling group has never had a Super Six discussion without mentioning the kids, as it still follows Mumley’s guidance, which was repeated Monday by committee member Howard Corcoran. “The kids, the kids, the kids. Take care of the kids for they are the foundation of our future,†he said, recalling Mumley’s words. “There is no other town that bids on Super Six that understands the kids like the way Wheeling does. “We do take care of the kids and we’re going to continue to do that. They’re the best natural resource we have in West Virginia.†Super Six 2007 will officially kick off Thursday, Nov. 29, with the annual Super Six Kickoff Dinner, slated to begin at 6 p.m. at the McLure House Hotel in downtown Wheeling. That will be followed by the Class AA state title game at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Wheeling Island Stadium, the Academic Achievement Banquet at 10 a.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Racetrack and Gaming Center, the Class AAA title game at noon, and the Class A title game at 7:30 p.m.
