Nothing pumps up a team more than when their goalie makes a big save.

But as far as Morgantown boys lacrosse keeper Dylan Shinkovich is concerned, his job is just getting started, as his quick outlets and long, accurate clears helped jump-start the sluggish Mohigans offense last night against the Linsly School, sparking MHS to an impressive 19-7 victory in their final home game of the regular season.

At the end of the Gold-Blue Spring Showcase, Rich Rodriguez stood in line to sing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” with the fans, students, players and staff. He was emotional and told his players that this was personal to him. Listening to the John Denver song this time around meant more than ever.

It’s a well-known tradition in Morgantown. After a win, “cue ‘Country Roads’” is murmured throughout the fans, no matter the age. However, the current students or younger generation of Mountaineer fans might not know how the tradition started or that the man the man who started the tradition is back.

If you were able to take J.J. Quinerly’s speed, defensive capabilities and ability to get to the rim and put it inside a 6-foot-1 body, it’s likely you’d have a future WNBA All-Star prospect.

“She’s going to be a little bit smaller, so somebody is going to have to figure out what that niche is in the WNBA,” WVU women’s basketball coach Mark Kellogg said.

West Virginia redshirt senior wide receiver Jaden Bray has been unlucky when it comes to catching the injury bug. He’s been injured in two of his four seasons in college football, and last year, he missed most of the season with a lower leg injury.

Bray had a lot of promise after a 30-reception season at Oklahoma State in 2023, transferring to the Mountaineers as a 3-star transfer portal prospect. An injury plagued his Morgantown start, but wasn’t bummed out about his season last year.
