WEIRTON — Weir High was hoping to get off to a fast start last week coming out of a bye week and searching for its first win, and appeared to do so against Harrison Central, but the first of 13 penalties negated a long touchdown. The Red Riders did not get much going the rest of the way on the way to another tough loss, and through four games, the self-inflicted errors have added up for the youthful Red Riders. This week, first-year coach Quincy Wilson is hoping they finally put some of those miscues in the rear view and establish some confidence as Weir welcomes Keyser to Jimmy ...

RICHMOND — It has been a rough two weeks for the Edison football team, however, all is not lost as the Wildcats still have plenty of things to play for. Edison put up quite a battle last week against undefeated Toronto, however, the Knights proved to be too much as they left Richmond with a 48-34 victory. “I thought we played hard,” first-year Edison (3-3) head coach Anthony Pierro said. “I thought we played physical. We just could not get off the field on third down and that hurt us. We have to tackle better, and that is something we are working on at practice. We had a hard ...
