Marion sports stat keeper Guy Dutton recalls a lifetime
Marion native Guy Dutton has tracked Southwest Virginia high school sports since the late 1950s. He recalls late telephone reports from coaches and statisticians, umpired Little League, played semipro baseball, and now remains a vital voice on Marion sports desks in three states. He touts the 1981-82 Marion basketball team's toughness and notes the Appalachian League’s promised Marion team with new lights. He endures a heart attack and reduced mobility but will not stop loving sports.

WVU stadium facility ownership sparks legislative fury
West Virginia leaders accuse WVU officials of bypassing the state budget process over a privately owned facilities building at the new stadium. The WVU Foundation Inc. and state entities share financing, triggering calls that the arrangement is illegal. An audit report by Legislative Auditor Encil Bailey accompanies the controversy. Meanwhile Ohio State star Clark Kellogg leads a Buckeyes visit to Morgantown to extend a long away-game winning streak against West Virginia in front of a sellout crowd at the WVU Coliseum.
