Beckley May Host State Junior High Basketball Tournaments
Grapevine reports Beckley could host part of the State Junior High School Basketball Tournament next year amid a push by the State Athletic Association Board of Control to abolish junior high competition. The federation favors intramurals, while opponents argue interschool play builds character. The plan under review would divide junior high into four-team regional events at Beckley in the South and Fairmont in the North, with a championship game added to the finals. The Board of Appeals meets in Parkersburg to decide, alongside potential changes to the Class A tournament site between Morgantown and Huntington and possible redistribution of Class A and B sections. Reports of offers from Cabell County and Marshall College influence the Huntington option, with WVU also in the mix. News should emerge from this weekend’s meetings.
