PikeView High School opened its doors to about 100 parents and fans for the first Meet the Panthers event. An auction raised roughly $7,000 for the athletic program, with another $400 from dinner sales, aiding the season start.

Bluefield after a rough start, routed Wyoming East 86-0 and beat Oak Hill 21-14. They then crushed Man, Shady Spring, Mount View, Liberty Raleigh, Richlands, Webster County, and defeated James Monroe in playoffs en route to the AA final against Peca at Wheeling Island Stadium.

Jim Thome agreed to a six year contract worth about 87.5 million with the Philadelphia Phillies after passing a physical. The 32 year old left handed hitter would join a lineup including Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell as the Phillies aim to boost for the 2004 season. Thome hit 52 homers for the Indians last season and rejected a 60 million offer from Cleveland.
Larry Hypes notes football legend Neel from Graham, a standout for Glynn Carlock’s 1981 Region IV champs, citing an 89 yard pass to Lee Grimes in the Snow Bowl against Tazewell, and Neel’s 81 rushing yards while teammates like Eddie Hall and Steve Mitchem moved on to Virginia Tech. The piece reflects on the G Men era, district playoff pressure, and Neel’s enduringly disciplined, courteous character.
