Earlier this week before practice got underway, Hokies head coach Brent Pry talked about how this spring will be different compared to past years due to having so many new faces:
“You know the spring to me is always a reload you know it’s about fundamentals it’s about guys you know identifying strengths and weaknesses, it’s about planning, schemes, attempting to master your craft, do we have more questions this spring than last? You know, as thorough as you are in evaluating talent, whether it’s a transfer or a high school player, there’s still more to know once they’re on your campus to get a closer look at these guys and how they can help us, how quickly they can help us. That’s a big piece of it this spring.”

Bill signing aims to bolster horse racing industry in West Virginia
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. (WCHS) — Gov. Patrick Morrisey signaled support for the horse racing industry in West Virginia through a bill signing Monday.
Senate Bill 1060 updates laws to include certified thoroughbred horses and raises a funding cap for restricted races from $1 million to $2 million.
The measure allows horses that have lived in West Virginia for six months to compete for larger purses. State leaders are hopeful the move will incentivize out-of-state horse owners to relocate to West Virginia.
In addition, the bill would allow licensed racing associations to transmit broadcasts of races with a portion of wagers going toward the West Virginia Thoroughbred Development Fund.
Changes will go into effect on June 7.

Currently, horse races are held in West Virginia’s panhandles, at the Mountaineer Racetrack and Resort in New Cumberland and the Hollywood Casino in Charles Town.

Gas prices dip slightly in Virginia, but relief may not last
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Gas prices in Virginia are easing slightly, but any relief at the pump may be short-lived.
AAA reports the state average is now $4.01 per gallon, down about four cents from last week. Despite the dip, prices remain significantly higher when compared to recent months, up roughly 65 cents from a month ago and nearly a dollar more than this time last year.
The national average is also elevated, sitting at $4.12 per gallon.
Experts say the primary driver behind the sustained increase is the rising cost of crude oil, fueled in part by ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
Even if those pressures begin to ease, analysts warn that drivers should not expect immediate relief.
“The old adage is about gas prices going up they go up like a rocket and then come down like a feather. So they tend to go up very fast in geopolitical crisis like this, but they come down much much slower. So we’re watching and waiting to see what happens there in the Middle East,” said Morgan Dean, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA.
For now, the outlook remains uncertain as global events continue to influence what drivers are paying at the pump.
