Morgantown Upsets Top-Seeded Cabell Midland

 By Ben Anderson      People always say that “defense” is the name of the game in softball, for the Morgantown Mohigans, that proved to be true in its 3-0 victory over top-seeded Cabell Midland Knights in the winner’s bracket game of the 2026 WVSSAC Class AAAA State Softball Tournament on Wednesday morning.       The Mohigans’ defensive spectacle started in the top of the second, when third baseman Carolina Mallow made a diving catch behind home plate on a bunt attempt to strand two Knights runners. The Mohigans also added another amazing diving catch from second baseman Grace Robinson.      “I told them that proves to you right there that you’re one of the best teams in the state,” Mohigans head coach Lorrie Lipscomb said. “You deserve to be here, and you can win a state championship.”      Morgantown broke the scoreless tie in the top of the third when Carper Messerly scored on an aggressive, heads-up play, by taggi...

Ty Nettles Shuts Down Huntington in Class AAAA Quarterfinals

 By Ben Anderson      In the fourth meeting between No. 1 George Washington and No. 8 Huntington on the season, the Patriots defeated the Highlanders 6-1 behind the arm of senior Ty Nettles in the WVSSAC State Baseball Tournament Class AAAA Quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon.       The southpaw went 5 ⅔ innings of hitless baseball, allowing seven walks, and 10 strikeouts. The majority of his strikeouts came the first time through the order, striking out six of the first nine batters he faced.       “Kept working on the curveball,” Nettles said. “Got a lot of swings and misses and it was awesome.”      The win did not come easy for the Patriots, as it found itself in several jams with Huntington having runners on base, but the defense was always able to find a way to shut down the Highlanders, and strand 11 runners.       “I couldn't have done it without my defense,” Nettles said. “We provided s...
