Once again, the Friends of Coal will sponsor the awards for all high school championship athletic events. The first round of athletic competition is already in full swing, with golf, cross country, soccer, volleyball and football all moving toward statewide championship events.
As always, we have been encouraged to actively participate in these events through the presentation of awards, medals and trophies. Anyone who is interested in these events, please call Dan Miller at 342-4153 and we will get you scheduled.
The first event will be golf, scheduled for October 3 at Oglebay Park in Wheeling. On October 27 will be the Cross Country championship, to be held at Cabell Midland HS.
The annual soccer championships will again be at the YMCA Sports Complex in Beckley, on November 3.
On November 10, the volleyball championship will come to the Charleston Civic Center.
The first half of the sports year will conclude with the Super Six football championships in Wheeling on Nov.30-Dec 1, and the cheerleading championships on December 8 at the Charleston Civic Center.
