Score Predictions for West Virginia vs. Campbell
The West Virginia Mountaineers and the Campbell Fighting Camels will meet for the first time in Morgantown on Thursday night. WVU is once again favored by double digits, but how will it all unfold? Our picks for tonight’s game are in.
I expect the Mountaineers to shoot a more efficient ball tonight, but with how they defend deep into the shot clock, it’ll be a pretty low-possession game, and the Camels aren’t really wanting to get out and run either.
While Treysen Eaglestaff needs to get more involved offensively, my bigger concern is with the big guy underneath, Harlan Obioha. He was virtually a non-factor in the win over Mount St. Mary’s, and those types of performances can’t continue, especially against inferior competition. WVU is already thin in the frontcourt as it is, so they really need Obioha to play up to his potential.
West Virginia wins, but it’s another game where they fail to pull away.
Campbell poses little threat to the Mountaineers. The Fighting Camels have not earned an NCAA bid since the 1991-92 season and earned their last postseason invitation following the 2018-19 season. and have endured losing seasons in the two years, although guard DJ Smith aims to change their fortunes after posting 23 points in the 96-63 loss at No. 24 Wisconsin Monday night.
As for West Virginia, the Mountaineers are “a work in progress,” as stated by head coach Ross Hodge following the 70-54 win over Mount St. Mary’s Tuesday night.
Hoss credited the offense’s slow start to the season stemmed from the defensive effort the team is unaccustomed to, and it was no surprise his two transfers from North Texas led the team in scoring, Jasper Floyd and Brenen Lorient.
Two games in three days give little time for the Mountaineers to improve in the season opener, so I suspect this game may remain closer than fans would like. I expect the defense to carry the Mountaineers, and better rebounding numbers as well, which making free throws will limit those opportunities. Nonetheless, West Virginia wins comfortably, 77-62.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced that it is accepting applications for a controlled waterfowl hunt, scheduled to take place October 3-11 at McClintic Wildlife Management Area near Point Pleasant in Mason County.
Waterfowl hunters who wish to participate must submit their application by 11:59 p.m. August 14 at WVhunt.com. Successful applicants will be notified by mail by the second week of September.
“Controlled hunts like this are an important part of our mission to manage wildlife resources responsibly, while also giving hunters access to high-quality hunting experiences,” said WVDNR Director Brett McMillion.
The event allows hunters to hunt from a shooting station in a controlled waterfowl hunting zone at McClintic WMA during the October split of the waterfowl season. Hunters who are successful in the lottery draw are assigned an area free of charge and are permitted to bring one guest. A shooting station is also available for hunters who have a disability.
Hunters successful in the draw will be randomly assigned a day to hunt. They must report to the McClintic WMA office prior to 6 a.m. that day. Applicants not selected may come to the McClintic office on the morning of each day’s hunt to sign up for an opportunity to hunt shooting stations not filled by selected hunters.
For more information, consult the West Virginia Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations, which will be available online at WVdnr.gov and at WVDNR offices by the end of August.

The Moving Wall returns to West Virginia with stop in St. Albans this week – WV MetroNews
ST. ALBANS, W.Va – Kanawha Valley residents and visitors from around the state get the chance to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War when The Moving Wall arrives in St. Albans this week.
The Moving Wall is a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial located in Washington, DC, and it has been touring the United States for over 40 years to give Americans that may not be able to visit the memorial a chance to recognize those who lost their lives.
“The Moving Wall was put together in 1984 for the purpose of providing a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It’s about 250 feet long, about ten foot at the high point, and then slopesx down along both wings of the wall,” VFW Post 6418 Commander Jerry Mollohan said Tuesday on 580 Live with Dave Allen.
VFW Post 6418 is hosting The Moving Wall in St. Albans with public viewing beginning at noon on Thursday and continuing through Sunday. A ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 28, at the wall’s location at 1481 MacCorkle Avenue.
“It’s coming to us from a VFW post in North Carolina, and they’ll be in town tomorrow night, and they’ll bring the wall to the St. Albans Shopping Center,” Mollohan said.
West Virginia suffered the highest casualty rate per capita of any state during the Vietnam War and was among the states with the highest rate of volunteers for service. Mollohan said this is a chance for people with ties to those that served to reconnect with their history.
“There’s 388 West Virginians on the wall, and, of course, there’s over 58,000 total names on the wall. There’s just a lot of family and friends that are connected to those servicepeople that are on the wall,” he said.
Mollohan takes pride in VFW Post 6418 bringing The Moving Wall to West Virginia for the first time in recent memory. He wants residents to come out and learn more about the lives lost in service of the United States.
“The sacrifices that the country has made in all wars is high priority for our obligation to recognize the price of freedom,” he said.
VFW Post 6418 has more information about The Moving Wall at vfw6418.org.
