Park Rangers at Coopers Rock monitoring hunters more regularly BY JOE SEVERINO CORRESPONDENT First portion of hunting season begins in West Virginia on Saturday, though park rangers are keeping a watchful eye. At Coopers Rock, a hunter is only allowed one buck and one doe kill per season, and the buck’s antlers must be at least 14 inches apart. Jonas McClenahan, office manager of Coopers Rock, said many people go against that rule. McClenahan said this was an issue the Divison of Natural Resources occasionally deals with. Coopers Rock has a rattlesnake and copperhead population that is protected under state law. McClenahan said that last July, a few hunters shot and killed multiple rattlesnakes and posted their kills on Facebook. Illegal hunting is infre-

Morgantown Airport runway extension still underway despite minor delays BY KAYLA GAGNON CORRESPONDENT Morgantown Municpal Airport is still working on adding additional renovations. These new additions will extend the runway from 1,400 feet to 6,200 feet long. “There hasn’t been any dirt moved,” said interim airport director Mick Galusky. “We’re talking about at least a five year project.” The project was originally set to be completed in 2016. There still needs to be approval for the completion of the project. Ron Justice, the state and local relations specialist for WVU, said the study information has to be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “At this point there has been no commitment from the FAA on the approval, however, we are all very confident that the approval for an extension will be forthcoming,” Justice said. This runway extension is supposed to help accommodate for some larger aircraft, such as corporate jets. “[The extension] would bring in private planes,” said Morgantown city manager Paul Brake. “For example, the Mylan [Pharmaceuticals] used to have a presence at [the] airport, but has since gone elsewhere because the runway is not long enough.” According to Brake, not only is the airport used for transporting people in business, it’s also used to transport WVU sports like basketball and volleyball due to their smaller

The airport has Essential Air Service (EAS) status, like many smaller airports in West Virginia. “It is a subsidy from the federal government to the airlines that service rural areas,” Galusky said. “Without that, the commercial carriers would not be able to make enough money to make the flights happen.” In addition to the subsidies from the federal government, the Air Force Reserve is also helping with the expansion through the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) program, a military volunteer training program that will provide trucks and earthmoving equipment for this project. Brake said the IRT’s involvement will reduce the cost of the

project. “If we were to do this entirely with private contractors, it would likely be anywhere from $35 to $40 million, but instead [with IRT involvement] would cost around $3 million dollars,” Brake said. “This has been an important project for the community for providing greater access to business travelers. It has the potential to have very significant economic development,” Brake said. “This project does create jobs and potential wealth for the community.” Galusky said that this development would come through larger chartered aircraft for business trips.

“Most of our problems deal with baiting,” McClen-

ahan said. Baiting is when hunters use food such as grain and fruit to attract deer to a certain location. Coopers Rock has almost 13,000 acres of public land that properly-licensed hunters can hunt on during season. McClenahan said that now is the best time to be out hunting because the woods won’t be as packed as it will be during gun season. Hunting is free of charge. “You get the more dedicated hunters up here during bow season,” McClenahan said. “It’s the best time to shoot a quality deer.” More than 50 percent of WVU students are from West Virginia, a state where more than 300,000 hunt, according to the West Virginia Department of Commerce. Josh Montoya, a senior spanish linguistics student from Keyser, West Virginia,

hunts often at Coopers Rock with friends and said he enjoys the landscape. “I like the fact that everything is mapped out; you’re not going to get lost,” Montoya said. “It’s good for people who are just starting out.” McClenahan said out-ofstate students without a West Virginia hunting license are invited to Coopers Rock, too. “WVU has a [program] if you’re enrolled, it doesn’t matter if you’re a resident or non-resident, you still get a resident price for a [hunting] license if you show a WVU ID,” McClenahan said. Coopers Rock Lake also provides trout fishing in the fall. The six-acre lake is stocked twice a month in October: once on Columbus Day and again two weeks after.

WVU battles the Mountain State opioid epidemic BY ALI BARRETT NEWS EDITOR September is National Recovery Month, and West Virginia holds the highest death rate due to overdose from opioids. In West Virginia, 41.5 out of every 100,000 people will overdose, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. Catherine Yura is the director of the WVU collegiate recovery program, which supports those recovering from substance abuse. Yura said the stigma of addiction needs to change and all individuals need to give voice to those who have been afraid to speak about their pain. According to the CDC, 33,091 people died in 2015 due to overdoses relating to prescription opioids. “This [opioid] epidemic is a national problem, but the devastation is concentrated in rural Appalachia with many victims from white middle-class homes and rural towns,” Yura said. According to the U.S. surgeon general’s report on addiction, the disorder is more common than cancer due to the 21 million Americans that are hooked on drugs or alcohol. “No one wants to be addicted or thinks they will become addicted,” Yura said. The journal Clinical EEG and Neuroscience said that a person in their mid-20s who abuse drugs or alcohol could increase the risk for addiction later in life since their brain is still developing. Yura said young adults are

Olivia Pape, a communications specialist for the WVU School of Public Health, helps out with the student organization Mountaineers for Recovery, which helps people recovering from addiction. Pape said she is in a longterm recovery from an eating disorder. She said this created destruction in her life by putting it ahead of everything. “I lost friends, relationships, money, integrity [and] so much [more],” Pape said. Pape said when it comes to addiction, the disease doesn’t discriminate and can affect those from all different walks

of life. “I want students to know that anyone can be touched by addiction and that you cannot understand someone’s story until you really take the time to listen to them,” Pape said. Pape said the best thing about addiction is that people do recover, and the lives of those around them can be positively altered by their recovery. “The disease can be viciously isolating, and I believe people greatly benefit from a strong recovery community,” Pape said. Mountaineers for Recovery hold programs and events throughout the week at Serenity Place, 369 Oakland St. Some events include Monday Meditation at 2 p.m., arts, crafts and fellowship Thursday’s at 4 p.m., group check-in meetings on Friday’s at 5 p.m. and a book study at 4 p.m. on Sunday’s. All events are free and are open to all WVU students. For more information on how you can get involved or would like to seek recovery, please visit http://recovery.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Idol Gives Back returns BY EMILY ZEKONIS CULTURE EDITOR On Oct. 6, WVU students and Morgantown community members are invited to join Mountaineer Idol for a night of “inspiration” for a greater cause. “When I started Mountaineer Idol, we always followed the American Idol rules since we partnered with them and signed off on a contract with them,” said Sonja Wilson, senior programming administrator of the WVU Mountainlair. “When American Idol started Idol Gives Back, we started Mountaineer Idol Gives Back.” In the fourth round of Mountaineer Idol, contestants will perform “songs of inspiration”, as well as host their annual charity event, Mountaineer Idol Gives Back. “Having a charity aspect added to the competition is important because it is a great place and platform to give back,” said contestant Scott Link. “Something so simple that makes such a huge impact is something that everyone should want to be involved with.” The evening will be-

Funds raised will go directly to WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital. Additionally, for weeks the Mountaineer Idol Gives Back team has been collecting stuffed animals and re-

cyclables in the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new stuffed animal with them to the event to go to WVU Medicine Children’s patients or a recyclable to be matched by a $5 donation, sponsored by Coca-Cola, to benefit Jessi’s Pals.

“I believe that the community should get involved in this program since we are giving back to improve the health of West Virginia’s children through excellence in patient care, research and education,” Wilson said. “ I think that this event warms

everyone’s hearts by raising funds for our local children. We always try to increase our stuffed animals, recyclables, and monies to donate each year.” Each year, the program donates nearly $1,000 to Jessi’s Pals. Jessi’s Pals was

founded in 2007 by veteran Jessica Lynch resulting from her receiving letters and gifts from children during her recovery from injuries received as a prisoner of war in 2003. Since the partnership with Jessi’s Pals began in 2007, Mountaineer Idol has been able to donate thousands of stuffed animals to recovering children. The program also partners with Reed College of Media’s strategic communications class, taught by Dr. Elizabeth Oppe. Each year, the class assists the program. “The students in this class have relayed that learning is a complex social phenomenon and the lesson of responsibility was given an entirely new meaning by what they had to do for the program,” Wilson said. Along with helping the community and students, the event invites Morgantown to enjoy a night of entertainment through listening to the voices of fellow Mountaineers. The charity event will take place next Friday in the Mountainlair Ballroom and is free and open to the public. For more information visit: https://www.facebook. com/WVUMountaineerIdol/

Morgantown community members grant wishes BY EMILY ZEKONIS CULTURE EDITOR

On Sept. 30 Morgantown community members will flood the streets to raise hope and funds for children with life-threatening illnesses. “When a wish comes true, it changes the life of that wish child,” said Jackie Heroman, regional manager for the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Northern West Virginia. “Our goal is to give our wish families the opportunity to forget about what they are going through at that moment and focus on making happy memories to last a lifetime.” The Morgantown Walk for Wishes 5k a part of a national event organized by the MakeA-Wish Foundation, a national organization working to grant the wish of children battling life-threatening conditions. The organization believes that granting these wishes can

“Anyone who meets a wish child will truly know the power of their wish and know they have helped make a big difference in their lives.” - Jackie Heroman, Make-A-Wish Foundation regional manager spread hope, joy and strength to the patient and their family. “We provide an experience away from doctor visits, surgeries, treatments and medical bills,” Heroman said. ”Ninety-nine percent of wish parents report back to us saying that their children have shown increased feelings of happiness after their wish is granted.” The walk focuses on the celebration of the more than 285,000 wishes the foundation has granted and the thousands more to come. The event also acts as a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish to be able to finance the large scale wishes of patients. “The average cost for one

wish is around $4,400,” Heroman said. “Approximately 85% percent of every dollar that is donated to our chapter goes back to granting wishes.” The event has no fee to register. Instead, individuals and teams are encouraged to meet different fundraising levels to receive prices. “This year, if you raise at least $100 or more you will get our official Walk For Wishes event t-shirt,” Heroman said. “We encourage people to first register for free then set a fundraising goal for their team or as an individual.” The race kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Hazel Ruby McQuain Amphitheater. Those interested in at-

tending are encouraged to sign up online and begin fundraising efforts as soon as possible to meet team goals and raise awareness for the organization. “Anyone who meets a wish child will truly know the power of their wish and know they have helped make a big difference in their lives,” Heroman said. “To continue to grant wishes, we need the public’s support. Therefore, it’s important to attend events like this.” For more information and online registration please visit: http://site.wish.org/ s i t e / T R / E v e n t s / G e n e ral?fr_id=2477&pg=entry#.

OPINION

Miss Texas, ESPN host Jemele Hill speak out against Trump, but why does only one have to apologize? BY JOCELIN LEON CORRESPONDENT A couple weeks ago at the Miss America contest, Miss Texas, Margana Wood, spoke out against President Trump. Wood was critical when asked about Trump’s stand on the Charlottesville rally and if she agreed there was “shared blame from both sides with very fine people.” Her reply surprised a lot of people. “I think that the white supremacist issue was very obvious, that it was a terrorist attack and I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier, addressing the fact and in making sure all Americans feel safe in this country,” Wood said. Wood received both praise and support for her response. Many started seeing her as an advocate against racism and a leader in the nation. However, on the same night, ESPN host Jemele Hill headed to her personal twitter and tweeted the following: “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacist,” Hill tweeted. Unlike Wood, Hill received criticism and hate. Not only

Margana Wood was crowned Miss Texas in 2017. from ESPN viewers, but also from the President and White House. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke out against Hill saying her comments were “certainly something that I

think is a fireable offense.” Trump tweeted this out on his Twitter. “ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming),” said the tweet. “People are dumping it

Jemele Hill is the host of the popular ESPN show “SC 6.” in RECORD numbers. Apologize for the untruth!” Jemele Hill was on the verge of being fired by ESPN and was forced to publicly apologize for her actions. The issue here isn’t that if

one person gets publicly reprimanded, so should the other. The problem is why one person is allowed to speak out against a social injustice and not another? Why is it an issue when a

woman of color expresses her opinion on the U.S President but it’s glorified news when a white beauty contestant does it? The same questions arise when we look at what happened at Charlottesville. Why does a section of the country frown upon protesters speaking up against racial inequality, but when Neo-Nazis take the streets and cause terror in the city, they are seen as “fine people?” These are inequalities we have to pay more attention to. It’s time to stand up for the people that are being shut down and silenced. Ethan Taitt, a 19-year-old from Parkersburg, West Virginia, agrees. “Racism is not dead and people need to open their eyes up and not ignore it like we have been. Since slavery there have been laws made in order to stop it, but it hasn’t, it’s still a prevalent issue,” Taitt sai. In the country we live in today, we seem to be taking steps backwards. We are re-introducing the racial mentality we had thought to outgrown. When the person with the most power in the country stands with bigots and racists, he gives permission to the rest of nation to act and speak the way he does.

Greek life stereotypes: fact or fiction? BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR When you think of fraternities and sororities, what comes to mind? For some, the prevailing image is Jim Belushi in the film Animal House, a loud and boisterous entity concerned only with drinking. Some see herds of girls with monogrammed handbags and t-shirts. For others, however, fraternities and sororities are something deeper. These men and women believe that being in Greek organizations gives them the opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. They may see their organization as an opportunity to be part of something greater than themselves. For sophomore Lily Hicks, sorority means camaraderie and community service. “I think that sororities and fraternities are organizations that help people find their place,” Hicks said. “I know that when I went through recruit-

ment, everyone kept telling me to trust the process and I’d eventually end up where I belonged, and I didn’t know what they were talking about until it actually happened.” The strategic communications student from Buckhannon, West Virginia, also added that philanthropy is a large part of her experience as a member of Chi Omega. “The community service aspect is overlooked by people who aren’t involved in Greek life,” Hicks said. “Each fraternity and sorority has a philanthropy that they are very passionate about. Throughout the year they all put on fundraisers that range from corn hole tournament to raffle dinners and allow anyone to become involved.” Greek organizations have received somewhat of a negative reputation in recent years. Incidents such as the death of Timothy Piazza have cast a dark shadow on the reputation of certain groups. Piazza was a freshman at Penn State who died from a brain injury following a fall down a flight of stairs.

Piazza suffered the injury while attempting to join the Beta Theta Pi fraternity last February. Hazing is a serious problem worthy of discussion and solution. However, it’s important to remember that these incidents are isolated, and that negligence from members of one organization does not mean the same is true for all fraternities and sororities. In fact, statistics about Greek organizations paint a different story. According to the North American Interfraternity Conference, fraternities across America served a combined 3.8 million hours of community service and also raised $20.3 million over the 2013-14 academic year. For some, like Goslyn Robinson III of Omega Psi Phi, their connection to their organization is even deeper. “I think the parts that are most overlooked are the social action and community service aspects. Those are key cogs in not just those organizations today but in the grand scheme of why said or-

Robinson, a junior broadcast journalism student from Baltimore, Maryland, also believes that traditionally African American Greek organizations’ commitment to social justice and equity is how their image de-

serves to be portrayed. “Members of black organizations have been on the front lines of numerous social action events and protests alongside being forces in their own communities. And that’s the perception that they ultimately want to be viewed in,” Robinson said.

While there may be certain people who have negative things to say about these organizations, the fact of the matter is that fraternities and sororities do a lot of good in their communities, and the legacy they wish to leave behind is centered on their philanthropy.

FASHION WEEK EMILY MATLOCK FASHION COLUMNIST

Fall fashion turns over new leaf As seasons change, so do the trends. Spring fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris are wrapping up the 2018 fashion sneak peeks. For now, fashionistas everywhere are ready to trade in bright sundresses for this autumn’s more structured pieces. Year after year, fall fashion shows remind us that the season is all about layers. Rather than shopping for a whole new wardrobe, consider adding a jewel-toned blazer to your closet or accessorizing your favorite denim jacket with vintage patches to add a new feel to what you already own. According to Savannah Steilner, a junior fashion merchandising and design student from Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, the fashion house that stood out from the rest at New York Fashion Week was Dior. “I was really blown away by [them],” Steilner said. “Their fashion show was huge, and I loved the mixture of fabric textures and layers of all the garments.” Emma Wagner, fashion blogger and junior fashion merchandising student from Rockville, Maryland, loves styling outwear because the pieces are both trendy and functional. “This season’s denim jacket is a little different since jackets with more holes and destruction seem to be more on trend than your basic blue denim jacket,” Wagner said. “Also, the military style jacket is a huge trend for fall 2017. The rich green color is a fall staple. The jacket is easy to throw on to

ciplined turned destroyed” outerwear plays a huge role in accomplishing the boyish style that was seen all over New York’s Fall Fashion Week. Designers even made our favorite structured lay-

ers more feminine and colorful by playing with quilt work and adding delicate rose appliques. Ho w e v e r, o u t e r w e a r wasn’t the only clothing that was reinvented this season. Classic accessories, like the leather cross-body bag, also received major facelifts. Wagner suggests accessorizing with a suede crossbody bag to add texture and sophistication. “Velvet is another surprising trend that is here to stay,” Wagner said. “A great way to translate this trend into your own wardrobe is by adding a velvet purse or backpack that is more your style.” Detailing can create character within a piece, while color reveals personality. “Taupe colored bags and backpacks look great with clothing that’s either cool or warm toned, making them very versatile,” Wagner said. So how can a college student stay trendy without breaking the bank? Accessorizing with neutral or muted colors makes transitioning seasons easier on students’ wallets. For Steilner, stores like Forever 21 and H&M make it possible to take her favorite runway styles home because the stores offer high-fashion trends at affordable prices. This year, fall’s historically minimalistic style is getting an upgrade with textured bags and detailed outerwear. The contrast between muted, structured layers and crafty accessories are making this season’s fashion more dynamic than ever.

Every spring, fashion designers host runway shows featuring their Fall collection. According to Fashion Week Online, the “Big 4” in fashion weeks take place in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Each show has its own theme to showcase the designer’s latest works. Fashion journalists, influencers and the industry’s hottest stylists attend shows throughout the week to discover the season’s biggest trends. Prestigious fashion magazines like Vogue, InStyle and Harper’s Bazaar cover the hottest designers and report on the entire process leading up to a designer’s big reveal. After fashion weeks across the Big 4 end, designers begin planning for the next season’s runway show.

Furry friends: love them or leave them? For weeks, social ial media eens were and television screens flooded with images es of dogs paddling through flood waters, cats clinging to o floatingg trees and the likes off both floating inside crates tess in flooded homes or chained outside. Questions weree quickly raised byy animal lovers and non-pet owners alike; how are people leaving their pets behind, and is it okay? Rachel Wasserrorman, shelter coormal dinator of Animal Friends of North Cenentral West Virginia, was heart-broken at the thought of animals being left behind. “I can’t believe people were mals,” leaving their animals,” Wasserman said. “If If they’re leaving, don’t you think you would want your animal to ot safe for leave too? If it’s not you, it’s not safe forr them.” Yet, perhaps thee ability to leave your furry friends riends behind comes down to the relaour ani imall tionship you feel your animal has to you, which, Wasserman said is not the same for everyone. “I think of my animals as family,” she said. “Some people don’t think of them like

Instead I stte of choosing In tto continue on with the hikers in weather he knew would be too harsh for his dog, he lagged behind and toughed out the weather until their trek

could be resumed. “I couldn’t leave my dog behind,” Ott said. While he recognized that human lives are priority, Ott believes “people should save lives before electronics or collections.” Stephanie Filbey, a senior exercise physiology student from Alloway, New Jersey, found that volunteering was a worthwhile way to spend time even though she has her dog here at school. “I look at him and how spoiled he is,” Fibley said. “I like spending some of my extra time helping animals that aren’t as fortunate.” In regards to the abandoned animals during the recent natural disasters, Filbey said, “If you choose to own a pet, you should be prepared to take care of them and protect them.” If you are like Ott, Wasserman or Filbey and feel strongly about caring for animals or were heartbroken at the recent news, maybe you too could benefit from volunteering at

shelters, while also providing benefits to the many animals in need. Kaylee Schoy, a freshman n pre-pharmacy student from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was moved to do so by the relationship with her pet. “I did miss my dog at home, she was my best friend when I was home and I loved her, so not being with her every day is a big change,” Schoy said. The bonds we share with animals can be just as strongg as with family, and it can be hard being away from them at school or even just knowing that there are so many without homes. Wasserman encourages any student missing their animals at school to volunteer at a shelter. “We’re always taking volunteers because the animals love the attention and they love meeting new people, so you can always come out,” Wasserman said.

WVU hockey prepares for conference opener BY AARON HOST SPORTS WRITER After starting the season with a series split again the Towson Tigers, the West Virginia hockey team is hard at work preparing for Mercyhurst. The Mountaineers have not played since Sept. 16, when they defeated the Tigers 5-3 in Morgantown. WVU Head Coach A.J. Sturges anticipates that Mercyhurst will be a much faster team. “Solid in the defensive zone,” Sturges said. “Protect the front of the net, and just defending as a team is going to be very important.” WVU took a lot of penalties in the Towson series, which seemed to be the downfall in their season-opening loss . Sturges was happy with the offensive output in the Towson series. The Mountaineers scored seven goals in just two games, while giving up six goals on the defensive end.

WVU celebrates after a goal on Pitt in the Backyard Brawl. “It was a really good test for us,” Sturges said. “It was a really great test for us as a team, emotionally as well.”

Forward Eli Rivers scored two goals in the series against Towson and winger J.P. Sawyer assisted on two goals.

The goaltending will also be a factor in the games this weekend. Ryan Wickiser put in a good performance, al-

lowing three goals on 25 shots, and Benjamin Zienty allowed three goals on 29 shots.

Mercyhurst is one of WVU’s rivals, which means that this game matters a lot to both teams, even though it is very early in the season. “Conferences games, especially two early on, are everything,” Sturges said. WVU plays again Saturday evening against Duquesne in Morgantown. Coach Sturges expects the momentum to be high and for the team to be ready for both Mercyhurst and Duquesne. “We feel good about where we are, and what we’re going to be able to do in our conference this season,” Sturges said. “I think we have a team that is very well equip to handle that.” This will be the first game for Mercyhurst this season, who finished 7-5-2 in conference play last season. The Mountaineers finished 6-8 last season in conference play. Friday’s game starts at 7 p.m. at the Morgantown Municipal Ice Rink.

No. 9 WVU in unfamiliar territory entering weekend BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER Following a loss at Texas, the West Virginia women’s soccer team is in untested waters. The 88th minute goal by the Longhorns’ Cyera Hintzen gave Texas possession of first place in the Big 12 and the highest national ranking among the conference. Texas (10-0, 2-0) jumped to No. 7 in this week’s national poll, while the Mountaineers (8-3, 1-1) fell to No. 9. The Longhorns are now the only team in the top 25 to have won every match played. For the first time since joining the conference, West Virginia is at risk of losing reign of a conference they have has consistently controlled since joining in 2013. A year ago, the Mountaineers went undefeated in conference play, not allowing a single goal en route to a fourth consecutive conference title. Through the first week of conference play this year, the Mountaineers sit in fifth place. Whether the cause is elevated play of the conference or the culmination of a season of offensive struggles for the Mountaineers, the team will have a chance to get back on track this weekend at Kansas State. The Wildcats (5-5-1, 0-2) are tied for last in the confer-

rently posts a .500 record, the Wildcats could still give West Virginia troubles in Manhattan on Friday night. Kansas

State has played opponents tightly all season, with every game being decided by two goals or less.

Kansas State has both scored and allowed 13 goals this season, while being slightly outshot by opponents.

West Virginia, while having troubles capitalizing on scoring chances all season, has 16 goals in as many games and has nearly tripled shot totals of opponents, although only seven percent of the Mountaineers’ shots are placed on goal. Senior goaltender Miranda Larkin has saved 81.4 percent of shots faced for the Wildcats this season, while Rylee Foster has only saved 74 percent. The West Virginia defense has been impressive all season and shouldn’t face much difficulty shutting down a Kansas State offense that lacks a prominent scorer. Freshman Brookelynn Entz leads the team with three goals, but the Wildcats have only one other scorer with multiple goals this year. This is WVU’s first time playing Kansas State, as this is the team’s second year as a varsity program and the first year playing in the Big 12. The Wildcats are still looking for the program’s first conference win, while the Mountaineers were 35-1-3 in the conference entering last weekend. The teams will kick off from Manhattan, Kansas at 8 p.m. E.T Friday. Following the trip, the No. 9 Mountaineers will play the first of five-straight conference home games next weekend, playing host to No. 19 Oklahoma State and Oklahoma at Dick Dlesk Stadium.

WVU set for Men’s Basketball Notebook home opener BY MATT GOLD SPORTS WRITER The West Virginia University rifle team will be back in action again this weekend for their first home match of the season, hosting No. 5 Ohio State. The Buckeyes finished second out of five teams last weekend at the Citadel Test Event in Charleston, South Carolina. They shot a 4646, which is a strong showing for the first event of the season. The only team that finished higher than OSU was West Virginia. In smallbore, Ohio State shot a 2300. Sophomore All American Rhiann Travis had a score of 578,

which led the team in that event. In air rifle, Travis again led the team by shooting 591. Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Tanoue said the team has a great opportunity “this coming weekend to face the defending national champion, West Virginia.” The Mountaineers come into the match with a 1-0 record after a win over NC State last weekend, 4703-4630. Ginny Thrasher, Milica Babic, David Koenders and Will Anti look to build off their individual success of the first match and take it into this weekend against a tough Ohio State team. The match starts at 8 a.m. Saturday at the WVU Rifle range.

West Virginia Head Coach Bob Huggins addressed the media ahead of the team’s first practice of the 2017-18 season Friday, providing updates on Esa Ahmad, Brandon Knapper and more. 1. Knapper likely won’t play Huggins doesn’t expect freshman guard Brandon Knapper to see much playing time this season. Knapper, a South Charleston native, is out indefinitely after undergoing knee surgery for a meniscus repair in his right knee. In one season at Hargrave Military Academy, Knapper averaged 24.4 points, 5.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game. “I don’t think they absolutely know, but it doesn’t look like it,” Huggins said. “Four to six months is four to six months. There’s a two month difference there.” 2. Update on when Ahmad returns WVU junior forward Esa Ahmad will be out 15 or 16 games after the school announced Tuesday that he will

miss half the season due to not meeting NCAA eligibility requirements. Huggins thinks it’s 16 games, but said, “I don’t know.” If that’s the case, Ahmad will return for a Jan. 9 contest against Baylor in Morgantown. “It’s 15 or 16 games…” Huggins said. “I think it’s 16. I’m not sure.” 3. Logan Routt put on scholarship After four-star forward commit Derek Culver did not qualify and will spend the season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, Huggins had one scholarship at his disposal. So, Huggins opted to give a scholarship to 6’11” sophomore Logan Routt. The former walk-on from Cameron, West Virginia, impressed the coaching staff en route to being put on scholarship. Routt is expected to see playing time this season, but Huggins doesn’t know many minutes he - or anyone - will be on the court. “I thought he deserved one,” Huggins said. “We had one. Why would you sit on one when you have a guy

who’s going to play minutes. He’s worked hard. He’s really, really worked hard. He’s changed his body. He’s running better. He’s doing so many things better. He deserves it.” 4. How much does WVU use the press defense? “Press Virginia” has been a staple of the program since the 2014-15 season, and that will only continue for the upcoming campaign. But Huggins is unsure just how often he will deploy the relentless, in-your-face press defense that led the country in turnovers forced and steals a year ago. “I don’t know, we’re going to have to see,” Huggins said. “We’re going to press, but will it be the constant 40 minutes? I don’t know. But we’re big. We’ve really got good size.” 5. Huggins not concerned about depth Despite Ahmad’s absence for the first half of the season, Huggins poses little concern about who will step up. He’s been impressed by what he’s seen from everyone, highlighting the amount of time the entire roster has spent in the gym during the offseason, including the batch of the newcomers. “[Junior guard] D’Angelo [Hunter] has had a good summer,” Huggins said. “[Sophomore forward] Wes [Wesley Harris] has had a good summer. We were looking at they were going to play anyway. [Sophomore forward] Lamont [West] has been really good. I think it gives Logan Routt an opportunity to play some meaningful minutes… And [Freshman forward]

Teddy (Allen) just finds ways to score.” 6. Jevon Carter wanted to stay West Virginia senior guard Jevon Carter was never going to leave. Although Carter submitted his name for the NBA Draft in April before withdrawing in May to be eligible for his final season, he just wanted to see how he could improve his own game. Carter was the NABC Defensive Player of the Year as a junior, and Huggins said he is “playing with a supreme amount of confidence right now.” “First of all, he didn’t go through the draft process,” Huggins said. “His whole deal was, ‘I can go get a workout in and find out what they’re asking you to do, and I’ll be prepared for it next year.’” 7. Macon was ready for the next step Huggins said former WVU forward Elijah Macon needed to make the step up to the professional level. Macon, who posted 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds as a starter in 2016-17, opted to forgo his final year of eligibility. He is now playing for Alba Fehervar in Hungary, where he is averaging 6.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.4 minutes. “He was going to graduate,” Huggins said. “We knew he was going to graduate. He had already set a year. He needed to go make some money. It was time. I was afraid that if he was here too long, he got a little long in the tooth. His market value was way much better now than it would’ve been a year from now.”
