Tournament Time Around Corner By Bob Wills
Tournament time is near with more than 200 state high school basketball teams in 32 regional events. Beckley Flying Eagles expected to reach Morgantown for the state finals after last year’s title defense, while Fayette and Wyoming County groups face tougher sectional races and potential upsets. A protest over a Huntington game involving Oceana and Herndon prompted a review: official records show no fifth personal fouls against the Herndon players, prompting Lusk to call for fair decisions and urging parties to resolve disputes.
