Very solid results. Six wins and two 1-point losses by Peyton indicates he’s right there with the best.

Re: WVU 2024

As an alumnus, there is nothing I love more than to discuss WVU sports. But with a 13th place finish in the Big 12 tournament and only one All-American (8th place finisher), I have no reason to believe that year 6 of this coaching staff will yield any better results than years 1-5. I hope the new AD...

Re: Josh Humphreys

I thought the call in the semifinals match giving Humphreys only 1 not 2 points (which would’ve forced the match into overtime) was just plainly wrong.

Nevertheless, an incredible tournament by Josh. Congratulations!

Re: Will the WV state finals be streamed live?

The lack of a livestream is unacceptable and the WVSSAC needs to step up. The OVAC finals are streamed live by John Marshall High School students. Surely our state tournament deserves as much. Come on WV high school principals— demand a little more for these kids that work so hard.
