Xavier fell to undefeated Georgia in its first game of the event by just one point, 78-77. A three-pointer with 11 seconds left gave the Bulldogs the lead and Xavier’s All Wright missed a last-second jump shot.

Tre Carroll and Jovan Milicevic led Xavier in that game with 19 points each. Carroll made it a double-double with 10 rebounds. Wright scored 17 and Filip Borovicanin had a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double. Milicevic made five three-pointers, while Wright added four.

Carroll has been the team’s leading scorer, averaging 15.7 points per game, with Roddie Anderson III coming off the bench to add 13 points per game. Anderson was held to four points in 19 minutes against Georgia.

West Virginia suffered a similar fate in its first-round game, falling at the very end to Clemson. The Tigers took the lead with 30 seconds left and led by three when Brenen Lorient opted for a wide-open dunk rather than try to tie the game with 11 seconds left.

Honor Huff led the Mountaineers with 17 points, while Jasper Floyd added 17. Chance Moore scored 16 with five rebounds, two blocks and two steals in his season debut after sitting out the first five games due to eligibility requirements.

Huff leads WVU in scoring, averaging 17.2 points per game. Lorient averaged 11.3 points and seven rebounds, while Floyd averaged 10.5 points and 4.2 assists.

Oldest Toughman Contest in West Virginia returns for 47th year

CLARKSBURG, W.Va (WDTV) – The Toughman Contest will return to Clarksburg this weekend for its 47th year, with the Nathan Goff Armory hosting the event for the 45th consecutive time.

The tournament was founded in 1979 in Bay City, Michigan by Art Dore, a former professional boxer. Dore later teamed up with Jerry Thomas to bring the event to West Virginia.

The contest is designed for amateur boxers, with no professionals allowed to compete. A new rule introduced this year prohibits former winners from competing in future Toughman contests.

“The event is three 1-minute rounds. Everyone wears 16 oz. gloves which is a training glove. There’s no headgear required for this now, hasn’t been for about 7 or 8 years and they get a one-minute rest between each round. We’ll have experienced trainers in each corner,” said Jerry Thomas, president of West Virginia Sports Promotions.

Two doctors will be ringside along with paramedics and EMTs from Harrison County Emergency Squad to tend to fighters after their bouts.

The tournament features five weight classes for both men and women. Fighters will weigh in Friday at 4 p.m., where matchmakers will determine opponents based on age, size and experience.

The single-elimination tournament begins Friday night, with all participants fighting once before returning Saturday to advance through the bracket until winners are crowned.

“The winners here in the men’s division will take home $1,000 for first place prize. The runner-up in each weight class will receive $500. The winner receives a nice Toughman jacket that you can only obtain by winning the tournament or working for the company,” Thomas said.

The weekend will also feature two professional fights. Friday’s bout will be a four-round super middleweight contest, and Saturday will feature an eight-round title fight for the vacant West Virginia cruiserweight championship.

Tickets and live streaming options can be purchased on their website. Remaining tickets will be sold at the door before the event begins at 7 p.m.

W.Va. couple arrested in South Carolina after allegedly kidnapping biological child

KINGSTREE, S.C. (WCHS) — A Randolph County couple were arrested in South Carolina on Sunday after they allegedly fled West Virginia with their child, which they didn’t have legal custody over, troopers said.

Darries L. Fauntleroy and Megan R. Fauntleroy, both 40, of Montrose were each charged with felony conspiracy and taking a minor child from a custodian out of the state of West Virginia, according to a press release from the Elkins Detachment of West Virginia State Police.

Troopers said the seven-year-old child was in custody of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. The Fauntleroys are the biological parents of the child, but allegedly neither had legal custody of the child. In particular, Megan was allegedly not allowed to be in the presence of the child, according to troopers.

Troopers said according to WVDHHR, the couple took the child from the area and were believed to have fled the state, making their way to South Carolina. After an investigation between WVSP, the United States Marshals Service and local South Carolina law enforcement, troopers said the couple was located.

The couple was then arrested in Kingstree, S.C., by officers with the Kingstree Police Department, the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Marshals Service, troopers said, adding that they are both awaiting extradition back to West Virginia.

Meanwhile, the child was safely located and is in the custody of the South Carolina Department of Social Services awaiting a safe return to the care of WVDHHR.
