Early mishaps by Arizona cause deficit vs. West Virginia
The Arizona Wildcats entered Saturday’s contest against West Virginia losing three straight, and a first-quarter fumble by Arizona running back Quali Conley — along with lackluster defense — gave the Mountaineers an early 17-7 advantage.
After West Virginia took an early 3-0 lead on a Michael Hayes 45-yard field goal, Arizona began driving down the field before Conley fumbled on the Wildcats’ fourth play of the game.
The Mountaineers recovered and ultimately scored on a fake field goal, giving them a 10-0 lead as the first quarter came to a close.
Later on, though, Conley got his redemption, putting Arizona on the board with a one-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to just three points with 7:34 left in the first half.

But the Wildcats couldn’t contain the Mountaineers run game, allowing 147 first half yards on the ground, including 77 yards on seven carries from West Virginia running back Jahiem White.
West Virginia scored again on a Nicco Marchiol pass to Hudson Clement with just under three minutes left in the half, putting the Mountaineers up 10 as the first half came to a close.
The Mountaineers had 245 first half yards compared to Arizona’s 154. Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita was 8-for-11 with 86 passing yards. Receiver Tetairoa McMillan had five receptions for 66 yards.

West Virginia Racing Heritage Festival showcases state’s dirt track racing history at Pennsboro Speedway
PENNSBORO, W.Va (WDTV) – Racing enthusiasts around the state had the chance to see vintage race cars and motorcycles at the annual West Virginia Racing Heritage Festival Saturday.
The festival teaches attendants about West Virginia’s history in dirt track racing with both cars and motorcycles.
The festival was held at Pennsboro Speedway, which opened in 1887 and hosted some of the nation’s top racing talent on its tracks.
“We’ve got so many national champions here,” WV Racing Heritage Festival President Ashley Ness said. “This racetrack has seen all these national champions. We’ve had the best in the United States, including Australia and New Zealand, come here and race at Pennsboro Speedway. It’s time to get them all back again.”
Racing legends who come from the Mountain State attended the festival to speak about their experience on the tracks.
One panel included six women who competed in flat-track motorcycle racing at a time when it was mostly dominated by men.
“We have six of the lady flat-track racers that were pioneers in the 60s and 70s,” Ness said. “It’s so important to get this documented, and that’s what the Heritage Festival is all about, documenting the history of dirt track racing, whether it be motorcycles or race cars.”
Vintage cars and motorcycles also got back in action with a parade lap on the tracks of Pennsboro Speedway.
The festival began in 2015 and will continue next year on June 5.

WHEELING, W.Va. — Wheeling is home to West Virginia’s first recovery program designed specifically for young adults, offering a new track aimed at people ages 18 to 24 who are working to overcome substance use disorders.
Youth Services System announced it will offer the recovery track at the McCrary Center in Wheeling for young adults dealing with opioid or stimulant use disorders. The program is designed to provide recovery-focused housing and support services, giving participants a safe, structured environment as they work toward long-term recovery and stability.
“Our transitional living program has been licensed by the Department of Human Services, as well as the Office of Health Facility Licensure. We also achieved the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residence certification so there will be a lot of oversight in this program. And we look forward to our continued work with them,” YSS CEO Jill Eddy said.
Youth Services System received a one-time grant through the West Virginia Bureau of Behavioral Health to help expand services and launch the new track in Wheeling.
“Research shows that the longer a person is provided a safe space while in recovery, the chances of their success in recovery and remaining sober is definitely increased,” Eddy said.
Services will include substance-free and MAT-friendly housing, peer recovery support, therapy, recovery planning, and overdose prevention education. The program also supports individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions and prioritizes high-risk and underserved populations.
