West Virginia Receives Massive News on Eligibility of Transfer Guard Chance Moore

West Virginia men’s head basketball coach announced some good news on Tuesday evening in that St. Bonaventure transfer guard Chance Moore has been cleared by the NCAA to play an additional year at the collegiate level.

“We are pleased that the NCAA approved the waiver for Chance to have his fifth season of eligibility,” coach Ross Hodge said in a press release. “As I said when he signed, Chance has the ability, size and physicality to impact both sides of the ball and impact winning at a high level. We are thrilled with the ruling and look forward to Chance being a Mountaineer this season.”

This past season at St. Bonaventure, he finished 2nd in scoring (13 ppg) and led the team with 6.5 rebounds per game. For his career, Moore has shot 43% from the floor, 30% from three-point land, and 62.6% from the free throw line.

Coming out of high school, Moore held offers from a number of high majors, including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Ole Miss, Rutgers, South Carolina, and Wake Forest before settling on Arkansas.

After minimal action with the Razorbacks, he made the move to Missouri State, where he averaged 10.7 points over two seasons

He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

West Virginia Mountain Bike Association holds Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi

PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.

The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.

Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.

“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”

The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.

No Kings protests draw crowds nationwide, including in Wheeling, West Virginia

OHIO COUNTY, WV — Protesters lined Kruger Street and National Road in Wheeling on Saturday as part of “No Kings” demonstrations held across the country.

People were already packed along the streets before the protest began at 11:30 as participants cited rising gas prices and the controversial Iran war. Protesters chanted and voiced their opinions during the event.

Teddie Grogan said the group gathered to push back against what they see as undemocratic leadership and unnecessary conflict. “We’re here today to protest the fact that we want our country we want it run as a democracy we don’t want wars that are somebodys choice and not a necessity,” Grogan said.

Former U.S. military member Cody Cumpston also criticized the current administration and said he is frustrated by the cost of living and the direction of the country. “I’m here today because of the current administration we’re in a new war we didn’t need to be in prices are still skyrocketing I’m just tired of it I feel like they’ve forgotten all about us and they keep forgetting about us,” Cumpston said.

Another protester, April Pascoli, said she believes many people are not aware of what the administration is doing internationally and at home. “If I don’t go to work one day and I ask people do you know what’s happening in this country? And somebody says, we’re at war right now? Really? People my age don’t even know that we have troops on the ground, that they are bombing. Bombing our bases in the middle east. Do you know that, do you realize that?” Pascoli said.
