Snow plays havoc with basketball
The Keyser boys were on a bit of a roll winning 3 of their last five games and giving number one Allegany all they could handle before falling in the final minutes.  The Keyser girls were struggling but you just had the feeling that they could right the ship and turn things around. Then it happened. Snow, snow, and more snow!  Since February 5 the girls have had 6 games cancelled and the boys have been locked off the hardwood for 8 e-i-g-h-t games.  The only consolation is that with just a few games left before section play starts, all the competition  is having the same problem with cancelled games and practices.

Frankfort ranked Number 6 in state
Decisive wins over Grafton and Berkeley Springs

The Frankfort Falcons have outscored their opponents 149-34 in their first three games of the season and have earned the recognition of  pundits with a sixth place spot in the Charleston Daily Mail poll. After drubbing state champ Grafton 42-7 in their second game of the year, the Falcons overwhelmed the Indians 50-7.  This week, Frankfort travels to Garrett county to take on the Northern Huskies--likely to be the next victim of the Falcon's potent offense and stingy defense. Above:  QB James Jones hands off to fullback Daniel McCormick, who took it 73-yards for a TD against Grafton.  Grafton photos.

Mountaineers ring Liberty's bell

Frankfort routs Liberty 57-20

Scoring on every possession but their last, the Frankfort Falcons overwhelmed Liberty-Harrison 57-20 in their season-opening game at Falcon Stadium.  Jeremy Miltenberger ran for a 3-yard TD and took a punt return 59-yards to the house.  Veteran QB James Jones was 3-for-3 with touchdown tosses to Joey Luciw and Logan Wolford.  Dalton Brown, Ben Brown, and Michael Deetz  all scored touchdowns.  Next week:  Grafton. At home. We can't wait.  (Above) Teammates get psyched over the helmet-jarring hit that Jeremy Miltenberger (22) put on a Liberty kick returner. Game photos.

Frankfort set to open season
   Liberty will have a tough start to a busy Labor Day weekend, facing Frankfort on Friday night at Falcon Stadium and then traveling to Morgantown for a nooner with the Mountaineers on Saturday.  We expect Frankfort will soften them up so the Mounties can have their way with them.  Wait, you say they're two different teams? My bad.
  The Falcons sat out the first week of the season with a bye, so you know that the boys are anxious to get onto the field for their season opener against Liberty High School.  Seniors Jeremy Miltenberger (22), James Jones (14), Dalton Brown (40) and Logan Wolford (11) hope to provide the leadership and the play-making that will push the Falcons into the playoffs.  Good luck Falcons!  

Keyser has rough road schedule
Hopes to overcome disappointing loss at Wayne

   The Golden Tornado has a bye the second week of the season after making the long-distance road trip to Wayne and dropping their season opener 22-0 (story).  The week off will give the Tornado an opportunity to regroup and reload before they have to hit the road again, this time to Cumberland to take on the perennial tough guys at Fort Hill. Count on the seniors pictured above to get the "K" headed in the right direction before they storm into the new Alumni Stadium at Tornado Alley for their first home game on Sept. 18 when they play host to the Northern Huskies.
