Hearts are heavy today in our newsroom and in this community. This is such a profound loss. Kennie was a legend in so many ways and certainly challenged and encouraged me and made me a better reporter. Sending love and prayers to his family today❤️

Really impressed by what Mr. Fox is building with his podcast class at Morgantown High. What an awesome, hands-on way for students to learn storytelling. Maddie and Izzy were pros behind the mic. Well prepared with excellent questions. Thanks for having me.

Of the 140 additional scholarships at WVU, 124 will go to Olympic sports. That frees up cap money for football, basketball
