I remember his name from that game.

The lost the AAA title game today to Ripley after winning AA last year.

Maybe someone can shed some light on why teams that threw fits and complained about their new classifications in football were able to drop back down for that sport but the rest of the sports got stuck on the AAA level. Frankfort baseball and softball wins AA by the run rule if they were still in that class.

Saw on the MPSSAA open dates page that a school cancelled, looking for a replacement.

If you are approaching your senior year of high school athletics and you feel that getting a college scholarship is not meeting your expectations, then it would be wise to consider (or at least research) an opportunity to play JUCO sports. The US Courts have forced new NCAA rules that have cleared the way for junior college athletes to not have those seasons counted against their NCAA eligibility. You can play 2-3 years at JUCO, transfer to a NCAA institution and begin your eligibility as a true freshman.

On the flip side, if you chose to enroll at a four year school such as Division II or Division III - your eligibility clock begins immediately. You now have five years to play four seasons.

JUCO is a much easier (and cheaper) academic process, especially for the adapting first year college students. With the help of guidance counselors, all classes will transfer towards whatever college degree you chose when making the transfer. In essence, an athlete can have six to seven years of college paid for. Feel free to get your masters degree at no cost to you.

Mike Serpone from Cumberland coached Northpoint to a 61-30 victory in the girls championship game. I believe they are 4A…

People should be giving FH varsity basketball coach Thad Burner some love. FH struggled for nearly a decade to be near the top of area standings and now they have won the Area, WestMAC and Regions for a third year in a row. Area basketball has always been what it is, never going to knock out top teams east or in the metro areas or bigger WV schools. Most every Area team this year battled through .500 seasons. Was difficult to find a team heads above the rest from week to week.

The Southern girls however, hope they can bring a state title home this year.

Nice Job Thad. We see you.

I know it's early, and schedules may not be complete, (plus they are always subject to change). But does anyone have schedules, (or partial schedules) for any of the area teams for next season.
Just trying to get a little conversation going since the board is quite this offseason.

A player who did not meet the county's residency requirements.

It’s come to my attention that as of yesterday 2/19 that two returning senior all-state softball players from Keyser High School basically walked out of Keyser and enrolled at Frankfort High School. This isn’t an over the summer transfer, or even an in between semester transfer. This is a middle of the week, middle of their final high school semester transfer. While I’m a believer in allowing kids to pick a school of their choice, this seems a little over the top. My thoughts are that nobody will really care, but god forbid if this was football or even boys basketball. Just one man’s opinion. Oh and I’m sure they have just reasons that only they will understand. Where is Mineral County Justin with that anonymous call. “Sarcasm everyone”

Story is up and running. This is the father's side of the story, not mine. I am doing all I can so far to remove opinion and just telling what happened.

From what I see, this whole thing (regardless of who is right or wrong) is based on administrative issues, procedural errors and an unwritten policy employees and parents have no clue as to the details. It's like all sides are trying to put together a puzzle where all the pieces don't fit.

Apologies for the paragraph spacing. This became a platform issue with copy & paste. Other social media outlets have the spacing - which is easier on the eyes.

Ohio State and Texas showing how productive a good screen pass game can be.

IS FH!IDONT KNOW !?

This will be released in 3 parts. This is Part I. These are not opinion pieces. Only an attempt to tell the story of how this happened. Part 3 will be more opinion.

I could have easily just dropped this story and did a couple of times. But no one was reporting this story publicly. I felt the players and coaches had a right to have their roles explained.

Dunbar will travel to undefeated Douglass this Saturday as the #3 seed. Had FH not forfeited 5 wins Dunbar would have played Douglass at home.

When was the last time the #7 and # 8 seed were in a title game?

Named area POY.

He set the all-time season rushing record at Fort Hill after 89 years of running the football. Think about that.

He set the all-time season rushing record behind a line of sophomores and juniors. Think about that.

Pretty impressive when you do think about it. The names of the past that dot that FH rushing list is lengthy.

IS WOULD YOU RATHER BEEN THERE & LOST OR NEVER BEEN THAT AT ALL!

Sure that everyone is thinking about this so might as well start the thread.........am sure that the Times News will make them "Co Area Teams of the Year" like them do when they hand out 17 all area players on the offense when there should only be 11. Participation Trophy Time!

FH freshman were up 55-0 in the second half against Boonsboro and scored 94 points

We can discuss, opine, and argue about the reasoning for a FH versus Frankfort game every year. My thought is we keep forgetting the # 1 reason. The players want to play. It's their game. Right? Being an oldtime Bishop Walsh/ LaSalle guy, our all time record against FH is 9-54-1. Many of those games were a real ass kicking. Ask any player from any of those 64 teams if they wanted to continue to play FH every year. The answer would be a unanimous yes. Same with today's teams, my guess is that all 70 or so players from both teams would play that game on a sandlot tomorrow if allowed. Maybe we need to stop worrying about all the possible implications and just let the kids do what they want, play each other. It's still their game, not ours. Just one man's opinion. BTW, a little trivia only two schools have defeated FH more than Bishop Walsh who did it 8 times. Of course everyone knows Alco is one. Who is the other?

Maury is ranked number 46 in the country. Briarwoods faces of monumental task this morning.
