Penn State football wants you to wear white on Saturday.

With the Nittany Lions’ game against West Virginia quickly approaching, Penn State called on fans to don white clothing on the road at the Mountaineers’ Milan Puskar Stadium.

West Virginia is planning plenty of festivities of its own for Saturday’s game. The Mountaineers are doing their own version of a Stripe Out in anticipation of a sold-out crowd. Rally towels will be distributed to all fans attending the game and two F-16 Viper Jets from South Carolina will do a pregame flyover.

Penn State vs. West Virginia is set for a Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday, August 31. The game will be broadcast on FOX.

W.Va. Gov. Morrisey announces another mining-related death

MARSHALL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey made an announcement Friday about another mining-related fatality in the state within 24 hours – the latest in northern West Virginia.

The governor released the following statement:

“Denise and I were deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Darin Reece, who passed away following an accident at the Ohio County Mine. We extend our condolences to his family, his fellow miners, and all those who knew him. He served as a Continuous Miner Section Supervisor and was part of a workforce that takes on difficult and dangerous work every day.

“The impact of these events reaches far beyond the job site. It is felt by families, coworkers, and entire communities. That weight is even greater today, as this marks the second loss of life in West Virginia’s mining community in less than 24 hours.

“The West Virginia Office of Miners’ Health, Safety, and Training is on site and conducting a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

“We ask West Virginians to keep Darin’s loved ones and the entire mining community in their thoughts during this difficult time.”

Earlier on Friday, Morrisey announced another mining-related death in Raleigh County in the southern part of the state.

West Virginia GOP closes primary to registered Republicans starting in May

BROOKE COUNTY, W.Va. — West Virginia voters heading to the polls for May’s primary will see a major change this year – the Republican Party’s primary will be closed.

Starting with this election, only voters registered as Republicans will be allowed to vote in the Republican primary. Independent and unaffiliated voters will no longer be able to participate in those primaries, a shift from previous elections.

With the deadline to change party affiliation approaching, officials are urging voters to check their registration status now. Jimmy Willis said voters who want to take part in the Republican primary should confirm their party affiliation and make changes if needed.

“They’ll have to look on the Secretary of State’s website or go to the county courthouse and get their party affiliation switched if they know they’re not a registered Republican and would like to vote in the Republican primaries, they can just go do that,” Willis said. “But, if they’re unsure, they can just look it up online and go from there. But, it’s just important that people know that they’re going to have to be Republicans to vote in the primary this year.”

The last day to change party affiliation is April 21. West Virginia’s primary is May 12. More information, click HERE.
