Manning Surrenders Shady Coaching Post
Dix Manning, wrestling coach at Shady Spring High School, will step down as head coach and become assistant to Frank Rakes. Manning follows physician advice to fade from coaching as Rakes, a two time state champion from Shady Spring, takes over duties this year. Rakes, a former Tiger wrestler, is praised as a top local grappler and will lead the program after coaching years of regional and state success. The Tigers have dominated southern West Virginia wrestling, with a 36 match win streak previously and only Pulaski, Virginia, holding a recent defeat.

The ruling ends Milwaukee's bid to reclaim major league baseball after the Braves moved to Atlanta after 13 seasons in Milwaukee.
