Richardson said the amendment could be ignored by the Trump administration.

Since the executive branch has a constitutional responsibility for laws to be faithfully executed, Richardson said the administration could say “the amendment conflicts with their constitutional responsibilities.”

“It’s a very gray area,” Richardson said.

On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart, who represents West Virginia’s Southern District, said on MetroNews ‘Talkline” about the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, “I think [marijuana is] a little dubious for medical use, however, the Rohrabacher amendment and Congressional mandate has made every clear, including here in West Viginia, that we’re going to leave the states the use for medical purposes of marijuana.”

•Oils •Gels, creams or ointments •Dermal patches •Tinctures and liquids •Vaporization, but without the dry leaf or plant form of marijuana Jesse Richardson, a WVU law professor, said the West Virginia medical marijuana industry is at risk, even through state marijuana laws are still protected by the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment.

This amendment “means that there are not going to be federal funds spent to try to enforce any criminal actions based on medical marijuana,” Richardson said.

The amendment is currently in the short-term spending budget passed by U.S. Congress on Dec. 22, but will expire along with the rest of the budget on Jan. 19. It will be up to Congress whether the amendment will remain in the future.

In a memorandum, Sessions cited statutes he said “reflect Congress’s determination that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that marijuana activity is a serious crime.”

House Speaker Tim Armstead, who also participated in the Friday panel, said, “I don’t see us moving forward with recreational, particularly in light of the change I’ve seen over the last week.”

Last year, the West Virginia Legislature passed a bill that will make medical marijuana legal to receive on July 1, 2019.

The bill, signed into law by Governor Jim Justice on April 19, allows for people with chronic or debilitating diseases to receive medical marijuana.

According to the West Virginia Bureau of Public Health, the marijuana will be limited to the following forms: •Pills

Recreational marijuana in West Virginia is not happening anytime soon, according to state officials.

“I don’t see us expanding to recreational or legalization in any way, shape or form,” said West Virginia Senate President Mitch Carmichael on Friday at a panel hosted by the WV Press Association.

On Jan. 4, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions released a memorandum removing a policy made under the Obama administration that reduced federal marijuana restrictions in states that moved to approve recreational use of the drug.

This policy, created by a 2013 memorandum by former Deputy Attorney General James Cole, directed the federal government to not act against a state’s marijuana industry if that state “will implement strong and effect regulatory and enforcement systems.”

This includes preventing marijuana revenue from going to criminal groups and preventing the use of drugged driving.

In Sessions’ memorandum, he cited statutes that “reflect Congress’s determination that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that marijuana activity is a serious crime.”

West Virginia House Speaker Tim Armstead, who also participated in the panel, said, “I don’t see us moving forward with recreational, particularly in light of the change I’ve seen over the last week.”

Currently, the Drug Enforcement Administration labels marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug alongside heroin and bath salts.

According to the DEA, Schedule I drugs have “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.”

Dear President Gee...

This Day in WV History...

Get well soon,

President Gee! During the holiday break, Dr. Gee fell at the Pittsburgh airport. The tests that followed reported that he had minimal scarring around his heart that could have caused a momentary tachycardia event, which is when the heart rate exceeds the normal resting rate.

President Gee underwent a procedure on January 5 to implant an internal defibrillator. WVU reports that everything went well and Dr. Gee is expected to return to work next week.

From the DA family, we wish you a healthy recovery and that you will return to work ready to start a great semester.

Let’s go!

U.S. Senator Harley Martin Kilgore was born in rural Harrison County on Jan. 11, 1893. He was the only son and the elder of two children of Quimby Hugh Kilgore, an oil well driller and contractor, and Laura Jo Kilgore. The family moved to Mannington when Harley was young, and he graduated from Mannington High School in 1910. In 1914, Kilgore earned his law degree from West Virginia University and was admitted to the bar. He taught school in 1914–15, and was a principal in Raleigh County for one term. He then turned to the practice of law. Kilgore joined the army during World War I, where he was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1917. Upon promotion to captain he served as a company commander.

On May 10, 1921, Kilgore married Lois Elaine Lilly in Huntington. Living in Beckley, he held a number of political positions, including city recorder and prosecuting attorney; in 1932, he was elected judge of the Criminal Court for Raleigh County.

Report for America Initiative announced PENELOPE DE LA CRUZ STAFF WRITER

A new national initiative aims to strengthen local journalism.

On Jan. 9, the Reed College of Media hosted a panel at the Media Innovation Center to explain the mission of the new national initiative Report for America, which is part of the Ground Truth project.

According to its website, the Ground Truth project is “a nonprofit media organization dedicated to supporting a new generation of journalists and to adding increased knowledge and understanding on critical global issues through our enterprise journalism.”

Charles Sennott, founder and CEO of the GroundTruth Project, said the primary goal

of the initiative is to bring reporters and more intensive journalism to smaller communities throughout the United States.

“We’re really proud to support furthering local report-

ing to areas and organizations that want to do more coverage,” said Sennott.

While the goals of the initiative are nationwide, Sennott said that Appalachia is the best place to start.

“Being in Pike County, Mingo County, the southern coalfields of West Virginia, it’s the perfect opportunity to align the mission of “Report for America and the goals of these news organizations,”

said Sennott.

The initiative works by sending young reporters to small, local newsrooms in need of help throughout the country.

Roxy Todd, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reporter and “Inside Appalachia” podcast co-producer said “Report for America” helps local news outlets expand their coverages.

“At West Virginia Public Broadcasting, we struggle with a small staff sometimes to cover the entire region [of West Virginia], let alone Appalachia,” said Todd.

For 2018, the Report for America reporters are Molly Born, Caity Coyne and Will Wright.

Molly Born is a West Virginia native and a graduate of Fairmont State University.

She will be working at West Virginia Public Media covering Mingo County under the mentorship of Roxy Todd.

Caity Coyne is from San Diego, California, and is a recent graduate of West Virginia University. She is a former editor-in-chief for The Daily Athenaeum. She will be working at the Charleston Gazette-Mail covering the southern coalfields of West Virginia under the mentorship of Eric Eyre, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist from the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

Will Wright is a Kentucky native and a graduate of the University of Kentucky. He will be working with the Lexington Herald Leader in Kentucky under the mentorship of the executive editor of 100 Days in Appalachia, Dana Coester.

Inside the maintenance PRT station, PRT cars are serviced every 9,000 miles.

PRT gets improvements over winter break

BY KAYLA GAGNON STAFF WRITER

Phase II modernization of the PRT is not a typical repair job, it’s a replacement and renovation of the technology that already exists.

According to the WVU Department of Transportation and Parking website, the estimated cost of the Phase II modernization is $52.6 million.

According to to the web-

site, WVU is working alongside Thales Corp. to retrofit the PRT system.

Thales is a multinational technology company whose Communications-Based Train Control system, or CBTC, helped to modernize the London Underground transit service.

The Thales system is designed to increase efficiency and reduce the need for maintenance.

According to Clement Solomon, director of the De-

partment of Transportation and Parking, there was a full demonstration of this technology in action during the first week of December.

Eleven vehicles were already converted to this new system and have been undergoing tests.

Solomon said that the demonstration was a success. “We’ll retrofit more cars and add them in the coming months,” he said.

The 11 PRT vehicles are not in operation during regular

hours, since the new software is still not compatible with the original system.

Solomon said the updates to each of the vehicles will not affect PRT passenger service.

“Some [vehicles] are retrofitted to 80 percent, which means they can be brought back into the old system and be used for passenger service,” he said.

In addition to replacing software, Phase II includes replacing electronic boards, sensors on the guideways and signs.

As we continue to modernize it is bound to get better in terms of moving people as well as greater reliability.”

- Clinton Solomon, director of the Department of Transportation and Parking According to Solomon, the PRT system transported 1.1 million riders during the fall semester.

“This speaks to the capacity and capability of this mass

transit system,” he said. “As we continue to modernize it is bound to get better in terms of moving people as well as greater reliability.”

What to look for in arts and entertainment this semester

BY LEAH SCHOOLCRAFT CORRESPONDENT

Each semester West Virginia University organizes Arts and Entertainment events on campus for students, faculty and residents to enjoy. Events may vary between musical acts, entertainers and theatre performances.

The spring 2018 semester will hold the final seven events in the University Arts Series.

These events include Mountain Stage, a very popular live, multi-artist performance recorded and broadcasted on National Public Radio; RAIN: A Tribute to the Beatles; Adam Trent and many more.

Kristie Stewart-Gale spoke about the work that goes behind bringing the shows and artists to campus. She said that through feedback surveys from the attendees of the events as well as pairing up with touring artists allows them to book

shows everyone can enjoy.

“Through the social media campaigns like ‘FallFest’, we gather a bank of artists that we know people want to see,” Stewart-Gale said. “That’s how we booked Migos.”

Stewart-Gale also spoke of the appeal WVU’s campus has to artists and events. Its location provides them with the chance to add on an extra day of touring, give them a break from travelling and let them connect with a new group of people.

“Not everyone can drive all the way to Pittsburgh or Charleston,” Stewart-Gale said. “Our campus and facilities allows for both the community and artist to gain from the experience.”

The university offers special event-pricing for students.

These prices range anywhere from 10 percent to 50 percent off of regular sales pricing.

This helps to bring in more students and allows them to be exposed to new entertainment

or see their favorite artists.

“We are here for the students,” Stewart-Gale said when discussing the reason for discounts.

The Art Series has been around for 40 years, giving the department plenty of resources to make the connections that students want to see happen.

How to start your semester off the right way

BY CLAIRE O’NEIL CORRESPONDENT

Not happy with grades from last semester? Wish to improve in class this year? WVU advisors have tips for students to make positive changes.

“If a student did not do well last semester, it’s important for them to stay positive,” said Scot McIntosh, program director and advisor from the School of Public Health.

McIntosh explained that if a student is struggling with a topic, they should not be afraid to communicate with staff for clarification. Simply

ask during class or attend faculty’s posted office hours.

Emily Roush, an advisor from the Reed College of Media, suggests if a student is struggling in class, help can be found by visiting a success coach.

“Students seem to really do a whole lot better if they see a success coach,” said Roush.

Success coaches can help students if they need to work on their time-management or note-taking skills. They will meet one-on-one with students and will help create a plan for a successful academic year.

Drop-in tutoring, tutoring by appointment and the Eberly Writing Studio are also

great, free resources students can use to improve for a specific class.

Another important tip is attending class every day and going to organization meetings.

By making those a priority, students can make connections with peers and faculty and will be able to learn and try something new.

Going to events, presentations and sessions can also make the college experience fulfilling, and students will gain knowledge by doing so.

It’s also important, especially when starting a new class, to keep organized by having a planner to keep track

“My most successful students are often those who take advantage of every opportunity they are presented with.”

- Scot McIntosh, program director and advisor from the School of Public Health of homework.

Roush suggests that as soon as students get their syllabus it’s best to write everything down.

“My most successful students are often those who take advantage of every opportunity they are presented with,”

McIntosh said.

Using the free resources on campus can help a student achieve academic success, because the WVU staff guide their students in the right direction and pinpoint what they need to work on.

The temperature is dropping, snow is falling and the air is cold. That can only mean one thing: flu season is here.

College students are especially susceptible to the winter illness because they are constantly surrounded by others. Lecture halls force students to sit shoulder to shoulder, and many students even sleep within 10 feet of another person.

What many students fail to realize is that there are many ways to avoid the flu.

Dr. Carmen Burrell is an assistant professor and medical director for Student Health Services at West Virginia University.

She, as well as many of the doctors on campus, help students who are suffering from flu-like symptoms quite regularly during this time of year.

Since the influenza virus is airborne, students should stay alert to those around them and consciously remember to wash their hands regularly.

“Anyone who is having flu like symptoms including fever, body aches, sore throat and cough should stay isolated to protect other individuals,” Burrell said. “If you are experiencing worsening or persistent symptoms without improvement, you should be evaluated by a doctor to make sure that you are not developing other complications from the illness.”

Besides medicine, there are quite a few things that students can do on a daily basis to protect themselves and boost their immune systems.

“Simple ways to boost your immune system include living a healthy lifestyle with eight hours of sleep nightly, eating a well-balanced diet with adequate vitamins and minerals and routine exercise,” Burrell said.

Burrell’s main recommendation for preventing the flu is getting a flu shot each season. Students can make appointments at Student Health Services to get theirs by calling 304-2857200 or by just walking in.

A letter from the Daily Athenaeum: Another great semester lies ahead of us here at West Virginia University, and The Daily Athenaeum has some exciting changes to look forward to.

After much discussion, the leadership team with the newspaper has decided to change the production rate from three days a week to two days. Rather than publishing on our typical Monday, Wednesday and Friday dates, the paper can be picked up on Mondays and Thursdays from now on.

Along with that, we worked alongside of the local newspaper, The Dominion Post, and will have our papers inserted inside of their newspapers every

Monday. Readers will continue to be able to pick up our independent newspapers all over Morgantown and the WVU campus, but those who have The DP delivered to their house will also receive a copy of The DA. With a few more staffers added to our paper (and hopefully more to join throughout this semester), we eagerly move ahead and can’t wait to see what this semester has in store for us as we continue to grow alongside our newspaper.

OPINION

WVU reflects on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

BY PAYTON OTTERMAN STAFF WRITER

How often do we ask ourselves how we can, as individuals, impact or change society?

The third Monday of January, students and staff at West Virginia University will have the day off to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In honor of the holiday, WVU students remember why Martin Luther King Jr. Day is truly important.

“I think it’s important that we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day because he was a man of peace who recognized that change can happen without inciting violence,” said Connor Crowley, a freshman wood science and technology student from Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania. “He saw there was an issue with American society and sought out others who he believed could help him bring upon a change. We need to continue this mentality today because that’s what King would have wanted.”

The holiday is intended to represent Dr. King’s birthday, and this year it falls on his actual birth date of January 15.

According to Time Magazine, petitions to recognize Dr. King’s birthday as a holiday began shortly after his assassination in 1968. A bill was introduced by Michigan representative John Conyers Jr. in 1979 to pass the motion to recognize the day as a federal holiday, but ultimately failed.

Efforts to create a holiday in Dr. King’s honor were again sparked in 1981 when activist and musician Stevie Wonder released “Happy Birthday.”

The song was intended to influence Americans to advocate for the holiday. Two years later, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill to make Dr. Mar-

In addition to the famous “I Have a Dream” speech from the Washington Mall in 1963, Dr. King was a pivotal part of the Civil Rights Movement.

He served as a spokesman for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, an action that led the U.S. Supreme Court to rule racial segregation within public transportation as unconstitutional.

He also was a key figure in the

Selma, Alabama march that led to the passage of the voting rights act.

“Martin Luther King Jr. Day is important as it recognizes the achievements of a man who lead the peaceful Civil Rights movement,” said Noah Romay, freshman engineering student from Bridgeport, West Virginia. “Many Americans just think of it as a day off from work or school, but it memorializes a man who helped

change the face of America.

While he paved the way for equal rights for all Americans, discrimination still exists and we need to keep fighting to make the changes that King would want us to.”

Rather than simply thinking of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day off of school, we should think of it as time to reflect upon ourselves and today’s society.

Letter to the Editor: Change starts with us

BY IDA MCGRAIL

It was the beginning of August, and I was settling in as a new student at West Virginia University. While I got ready for a new semester, two hours away in my hometown of Parkersburg a proposed ordinance was the talk of the town. The Non-Discrimination Ordinance, or the NDO, had been proposed to protect citizens, the LGBT community in particular, from discrimination.

It was clearly a step forward. Under this law, companies could not discriminate against LGBT employees.

The housing market could not refuse a home or service to someone because of their orientation or gender identity. The initial attempt itself

was progress. It would have been the first bill of its kind and a step towards equality in Parkersburg. One equality group, Fairness for Parkersburg, live streamed the city council meetings to give everyone an opportunity to participate. In spite of community support, the ordinance failed to pass.

I remember when the NDO was shot down. It was around the same time that this city voted in favor of amending and reenacting laws that would protect the LGBT community. Newspaper stands were filled with stories about the new amendment and how far Morgantown has come.

On the flip side, Parkersburg was not only behind, but dead last with a score

of simply 20 points, according to the Municipal Equality Index. There are virtually no laws protecting LGBT citizens in my city. With the increasingly negative attitude shown by other residents towards them, it does not look as though things will change very soon.

As a social work student, I care deeply about these social justice issues. As students, you should have similar concerns. Bills like this affect more people than you realize. Individuals you know, are related to are affected by this because they can be refused a job because they are gay or transgender. This is not simply an issue of beliefs; it is a human rights issue.

Many students from the

Parkersburg area may feel the same: Disappointment, anger, even hopelessness. We know we can do better than this. These feelings are normal. But don’t stay in that place for very long. Feelings should encourage action.

Call your local city council.

Volunteer with special interest groups. Make the problem known.

I write this is to not only encourage you to keep pushing for equality but to raise awareness of the problems in other small towns across West Virginia. Talking about it will inform people and get them involved. It may even encourage people to call their own city councils.

Make your voice heard.

Change starts with us.

BY EMILY MATLOCK FASHION COLUMNIST

Time’s Up movement inspires change in award show fashion Award show season is here and many changes are taking place around the fashion choices of attendees. Red carpet interviews include the standard “who are you wearing?” question, but this year the Golden Globes attendees were also asked “why.”

The Time’s Up movement inspired many stars to wear black to create a blackout effect at the award show. Nominees and guests opted to wear black in solidarity of those who were sexually harassed, assaulted or experienced inequality in the workplace.

“I do think that the ‘blackout’ has influenced the fashion scene for upcoming shows by emphasizing that celebrities can use fashion to make a statement about social issues,” said Gabby Moore, a junior biometric systems student from Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Emma Alquist, a senior biology student from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, believes that in hindsight designers will continue to be a huge part of award shows.

“This time designers can be creative and show off what they have to offer in front of millions of viewers,” Alquist said. “I believe they will incorporate messages and ideas of current events.”

This year, designers were tasked with creating black gowns for attendees, causing some to change the color of gowns after they were in the process of being tailored.

However, the last-minute decision to wear black did not stop designers from creating beautiful pieces.

“My favorite ‘blackout’ gowns included the longsleeved, V-neck gown that Katherine Langford wore, Zoe Kravitz’s simple gown and the lacey dress Penelope Cruz wore,” Moore said.

Langford showed off a Prada gown during the red carpet. Kravitz accessorized her Saint Laurent gown with emerald green earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. Cruz wore an off-the-shoulder gown by Ralph & Russo at the award show last Sunday.

“My absolute favorite gown was worn by Alicia Vikander, I am a big fan of the high neck and open back,” Alquist said. “I also really enjoyed Dakota Johnson’s dress, the detail of the jewels on the back was amazing.”

Vikander’s gown was by Louis Vuitton, which she accessorized with diamond earrings. Johnson’s crystal-embellished gown was by Gucci.

As for men, Alquist said, “I loved Zac Efron’s suit when he was presenting. The silk and matte black suit looked very classy.”

The guys of the Golden Globes this year sported Time’s Up pins on their lapels to support the movement.

Although it may seem as if stars took the focus off the fashion aspect from the show, the symbolism behind the blackout attire gave the Time’s

Actress Zoe Kravitz participates in the “black-out” in solidarity for those who were sexually assauklted.

Up movement a push forward with its initiative.

“The blackout showed that there is more to awards season than just the gowns and

the wins,” Moore said. “Celebrities have the ability to shine a light on situations that have negatively affected people all over the world.”

“These statement gowns are going to get a lot of attention,” Alquist said. “Which means they can use this as an opportunity to talk not only about the dress, but maybe the reasons or issues behind the choice.”

In the past, viewers would tune in to see fashion hits and misses during the preshow red carpet. However,

Hollywood is turning away from “Worst Dressed Lists” and instead stars are asked more questions about their work and the significance behind their outfit choices.

For some stars, this means wearing black for themselves while others are representing those who don’t have a voice in Hollywood.

New American-set shooting game courts excitement and controversy Known for its explosive gunplay and exotic locations, the shooting game series “Far Cry” turned heads after announcing it’s fifth entry would be getting a more American flavor.

Set in the fictional Hope County, Montana, “Far Cry 5” quickly became one of the most anticipated and controversial video games of 2018.

As revealed in several online trailers released over the past year, “Far Cry 5” will feature an unnamed, player-created sheriff ’s deputy taking on a tyrannical, religious cult who has taken over a large portion of the American Midwest. Led by the Joseph Seed, the cult (known as Eden’s Gate) are well-versed in both assault rifles and scripture.

In true “Far Cry” fashion,

players are given plenty of toys to dispatch their enemies.

Rockets, revolvers and flamethrowers will be familiar to fans, but unique weapons like minigun-mounted crop dusters and trainable attack dogs are a series first.

The American setting, while intriguing some, proved to be a source of controversy. Former “Far Cry” games were set in fictional countries with fanciful names like Kyrat and Leboa-Sako.

By setting the game in Montana, “Far Cry 5” is the first game in the series to take place in a real world providence. And associating what’s supposed to be a fun time with the murder of Americans (even evil video game ones) hasn’t sat well with everybody.

“It focuses on a very real,

very relevant concern about growing extremism in America, and yet it’s also a zany ‘Far Cry’ where you can grab heavy weapons and fire them at will through an open world full of nonstop action,” wrote gaming journalist Dean Takahashi in a New Venture Beat article.

“It’s trying to make a statement about how disturbing we have become, but it also wants to be a fun video game where you blow things up.”

“Far Cry 5” creative director Dan Hay, a series veteran who worked on every entry since the third, believes this story could only be told in America, a country he believes became increasingly divided.

“As we moved the clock forward, the language of the world is starting to change.

Gone is the language of the

global village,” Hay said in a press conference at the E3 gaming convention. “And now we are starting to hear words like ‘us’ and ‘them.’

We are starting to see people separate.”

Hay, who also discussed his childhood growing up under the Cold War, visited Montana while writing “Far Cry 5” to gather ideas.

“What we learned there is this concept of ‘freedom, faith, and firearms.’ People in that region, they don’t want to be f***** with. We’re applying that to ‘Far Cry,’” Hay said.

“But even today, this morning when I turned on the news, this concept of dissatisfaction, feeling like something is wrong, something is off. It brings me very much back to when I was a kid. I don’t know

“What we learned there is this concept of ‘freedom, faith, and firearms.’

People in that region, they don’t want to be f***** with. We’re applying that to ‘Far Cry.’” - Dan Hay, series veteran that I feel safe.”

While Hay often goes philosophical when discussing “Far Cry 5,” its gameplay trailers lack much of this nuance.

One long sequence has the player ramming down cultists with a 18 wheel semi-truck called “The Widow Maker” while chucking dynamite out the windows.

In almost all ways, “Far Cry 5” looks like an explosively fun

new entry in the series. But in a time of increasing division and epidemic levels of gun violence in America, it’s harder to stomach turning the United States setting into a shooting range. Whatever message Hay is aiming for seems destined to be drowned out by the clatter of bullets and scream of explosions.

“Far Cry 5” will be released March 27, 2018.

Four offseason questions for WVU football

BY CHRIS JACKSON MANAGING EDITOR

West Virginia’s 2017 season ended with a disappointing 30-14 loss to Utah in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Tuesday, marking the program’s third 7-win season since joining the Big 12 in 2012.

Yet while the record was not what it wanted and there are areas in which it needs to improve, there were some positives it can carry over into 2018.

Here are four questions entering the offseason for the Mountaineers: 1. What will Will Grier and company accomplish?

Grier did everything he was expected to do and more during his first season as a Mountaineer. He was already sensational at Florida, throwing for 1,204 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions, while completing 65.8 percent of his passes as the Gators started out with a 6-0 record during his redshirt freshman year in 2015 before he was suspended.

In his first year at WVU, Grier added to those already gaudy numbers. He threw for 34 touchdowns, which ranked eight nationally despite missing the last twoand-a-half games with an injury, alongside 3,490 yards, 12 interceptions and a 64.4 completion percentage.

He will be aided by the returns of junior receivers Gary Jennings and David Sills, along with sophomore speedster Marcus Simms. Senior receiver Ka’Raun White is departing, alongside senior running back Justin Crawford. But sophomore tailbacks Kennedy McKoy and Martell Pettaway will be back.

Four of the five starters on the offensive line are also back.

That is plenty of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. Jennings surpassed 1,000 receiving yards. Sills had 980 receiving yards and a national-best 18 touchdown catches. Simms was a threat on both special teams and big plays. McKoy rushed for 596 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 4.8 yards per carry.

All the pieces are there for WVU’s offense - which ranks 23rd nationally in scoring (34.3 points per game) and 19th in total offense (460 yards per game) - to have a big year.

“Starting Jan. 9 when we come back, we’re going to be working very hard,” Jennings said. “We’ve got a lot of potential, but potential will

West Virginia quarterback Will Grier talks to Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital on the sidelines during a game against Texas Tech. only take you so far. We have to put in the work if we want to reach our goals.

2. Can the WVU offense be more consistent?

Although the WVU offense is loaded with playmakers, it struggled with consistency for much of the year.

There would be quick scoring drives where the Mountaineers would go 80 yards for a score. There would be threeand-outs on others. Consistency was a major issue.

Take a look at the Nov. 11 win at Kansas State, for example. The first two drives resulted in turnovers - a fumble and an interception, which both happened on the second play of each of those possessions - and the third was a punt. The next two drives were a 75-yard touchdown pass on the first play and a 4-play, 72-yard scoring drive the next time on the field.

WVU scored two more times during the first half to reach 28 points, but never found the scoreboard anytime after that. Five of its six possessions in the second half ended in punts, while the other was capped with a kneeldown to escape with a 28-23 win.

Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital highlighted the explosion and lack thereof following that contest, which was a concern for much of the season.

“We’ve got to be better in terms of we either three and

out or we score like in a minute,” Spavital said. “That’s how it is. It’s either the most explosive offense you’ll ever see or the worst offense you’ll ever see.”

This offense definitely has all of the tools to put up lots and lots of points, but finding more consistency will go a long way in helping it reach its potential all season long.

“We need to become more consistent in moving the chain, and not stalling out,” Jennings said. “We have to stick together through the tough times. I thought we did that the majority of the time, but we have to do it all the time.”

3. Can WVU play complete games as a team?

This was cited after the loss to Utah.

WVU struggled to play as a collective unit at times this season as opposed to how it did in 2016 when it earned its way to a 10-2 regular season and played as a team for much of that year.

It was unable to put together complete games, especially in the big ones, losing by one score and having chances to win against ranked opponents like Virginia Tech and TCU. At times, the offense would falter while the defense would shine. At other times, the defense would falter while the offense would shine.

There were a few squandered leads along the way.

After maintaining a sizeable 35-13 advantage on the scoreboard at Kansas, the Mountaineers allowed the Jayhawks to get within one score on two separate occasions before pulling away for the 56-34 win. And after maintaining another sizeable 38-13 lead at Baylor entering the fourth quarter one month later, WVU needed a huge stop on a 2-point conversion to escape with a 3836 victory.

If it is able to take that next step and compete for a Big 12 championship in 2018, playing more together as a collective unit like players said will be critical.

“I feel like we’ve got to get better as a team,” said redshirt junior safety Dravon AskewHenry. “Just offenses and defense and special teams, just everybody playing as one. I feel like some games we show up, some games we don’t. If everybody sows up the same game, we will be alright.”

4. Can the defense allow less big plays and improve at stopping the run?

The first part was mentioned right after the Virginia Tech game in the season opener.

Players and coaches mentioned how crucial defensive breakdowns and surrendering big plays contributed to the 31-24 loss to the Hokies. Three plays in that game made the difference, especially Virginia Tech quar-

terback Josh Jackson’s 46-yard run to help set up the game-winning 2-yard score.

The early part of Tuesday’s loss to Utah in the Heart of Dallas Bowl is another example. Utes running back Zack Moss ran right up the middle for a 58-yard touchdown to give his team an early 7-0 lead, going right through a breakdown in the heart of the Mountaineers’ defense.

After that, the WVU defense buckled down, though.

Utah averaged 20.75 yards per play on the first drive, which last four plays, but averaged just 3.67 yards on the ensuing 76 plays during the remainder of the contest.

Moss’ play was still a reminder of WVU’s struggles in its run defense, however, as it ranked last in the Big 12 in that category, allowing an average of 204.2 yards per game on the ground. Kansas, a team which is last in rushing offense in the conference (102.6 rushing yards per game), ran for a whopping 367 yards against the Mountaineers in September, with running back Khalil Herbert totaling 44 percent of his yearly total of 663 yards, going for 291.

Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson is one of the best in the conference at his position and has coached some of the best defenses in the Big 12, but limiting big plays and improving against opposing rushing attacks will be huge for his group going forward.

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team played 17 games without star guard Tynice Martin, who was sidelined with a foot injury incurred at the USA Basketball U23 National Team Trials since August.

“I feel sorry for her,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey in October. “She was so excited coming into this year and was so excited trying out for USA basketball. For that to happen, I just feel bad for her. But she’ll be back. She’s a strong person. She’ll work hard. She’ll get back.”

Martin’s original return was predicted for late-December, well in time for Big 12 play, but Carey determined that there is no timetable.

“Tynice is not close,” Carey said this month.

At this point in the season, Carey might be questioning if it’s even worth it for Martin to return.

Martin averaged nearly 17 points and five rebounds last season, helping lead West Virginia to a 13-game winning streak, a Big 12 Tournament championship and a NCAA Tournament berth.

Junior college transfer Naomi Davenport emerged to fill that role, averaging 16 points and eight rebounds this season.

With approximately the same amount of production on tap for the Mountaineers moving forward, bringing Martin back into the lineup appears to make less sense the further into the season WVU goes, especially since her return is not in sight.

If Martin redshirts, she will still have two years of eligibility left at WVU. Injuries are not exclusive to Martin this season. Senior Kristina King missed five games due to a hairline fracture in her right foot, and redshirt freshman Krystaline McCune missed eight games due to minor knee surgery back in December. “(Krystaline) McCune, I don’t know, two more weeks or better,” Carey said on Jan. 2.

The University stated on Tuesday that McCune is close to returning.

The Mountaineers return to action on Saturday to host TCU. West Virginia won the last meeting against the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth by a score of 87-82 on Dec. 28.

Harler steps up for WVU during Baylor victory

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER

During Tuesday night’s 5754 victory over Baylor, West Virginia sophomore guard Chase Harler became a key contributor off the bench.

He had seven points, three rebounds and two steals in the victory.

Additionally, Harler’s 19 minutes were second only to sophomore James “Beetle” Bolden (20) for players off the bench.

For someone who himself said he didn’t expect to play much, it turned out to be a good night because he was ready if called upon.

“I was just kind of waiting for my time,” Harler said. “Maybe the first Big 12 games I didn’t play as much as I want, but I try to stay as ready as possible, and I just came in and tried to play as hard as I could.”

The primary reason why Harler played as much as he did was based on the defense that Baylor employed. Its 1-3-1 zone frustrated players like freshman Teddy Allen, who missed three shot attempts within two minutes of check-

Harler, however, was encouraged when he saw Baylor deploying a zone defense.

“I feel like I can do a little bit more in a zone,” Harler said.

“They kind of have to leave someone open, and I kind

of found myself being open.

I definitely feel like I can contribute more (against) the zone.”

The usage of Harler in heavy minutes may have been surprising to him, but it shouldn’t be for fans of WVU basketball.

For Coach Huggins’ team, it’s hands-on deck all the time.

“I don’t dictate playing time, they do,” Huggins said.

“They dictate it by their practice habits.”

The seventh-winningest coach in NCAA Division-I history is making it clear that he won’t pick favorites. Certainly, established stars like seniors Daxter Miles Jr. and

Jevon Carter will play more than most others, but that comes as a result of their stellar abilities on the court and their work ethic.

Even established stars feel the need to continue putting in the extra work. After Tuesday’s game, Miles and Carter, along with Bolden, spent a good half hour working on free throws and three-pointers after completing their interviews with the media.

By that point, the only people left in the WVU Coliseum were media members finishing up their articles and the maintenance crews. If the players were doing it to show off, they wouldn’t have done it in front of so few people.

Sometimes, it’s the work that gets the least noticed that goes the farthest.

Make no mistake though; if players aren’t working hard, they will pay for it.

Huggins specifically brought up an instance last year where he since-departed forward Elijah Macon. Huggins justified not even bringing Macon with him to the Dec. 30, 2016, game against Oklahoma State, citing that if he isn’t pleased with a players’ effort, they won’t play.

“You have to come in and practice,” Huggins said. “You have to come in and fulfill your responsibility to your teammates. And when you don’t do that, you shouldn’t play.”

Earlier this season, he sat sophomore forward Sagaba Konate for a Nov. 15 game against American. Huggins was mum on why Konate didn’t play besides insinuating that Konate’s effort wasn’t where it needed to be at the time. “(Konate) is a great kid, he really is,” Huggins said. “He’s got to do what he’s asked to do. I’m sure he will after this. It wasn’t a suspension or anything, I just didn’t want to play him.”

Since sitting out the home opener, Konate has played in all 14 games since. Lesson learned.

Work ethic is pivotal going forward. Junior forward Esa Ahmad is eligible to return for this Saturday’s game at Texas Tech and freshman guard Brandon Knapper could potentially return down the road as well.

Harler and others off the bench will need to continue to find ways to make their own playing time.

WVU aims for consistency against ranked opponents

BY JULIA MELLETT CORRESPONDENT

When WVU takes on thirdranked Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Jan. 19, the Cowboys will be yet another ranked opponent for the Mountaineer wrestling team this season.

Head coach Sammie Henson’s team mentality, “Consistency Wins,” held strong through this challenging schedule.

“I never differ from anything,” Henson said. “We’re here to work and train and compete every match, and we do change for the competition as far as who we’re wrestling, but we don’t change our mindset.”

That competition already included three teams ranked in the NWCA Coaches’ Poll: then-25th-ranked Pitt, then-18th-ranked Oklahoma and 25th-ranked North Dakota State.

Later this season, three upcoming Big 12 opponents are also ranked. Specifically on the minds of the Mountaineers are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, next on the list of Mountaineer duals.

Zeke Moisey, ranked 14th on The Open Mat this week, sees big things on the horizon for the team when paired with ranked opponents.

“Our matches are one point matches or overtime matches,

In the middle of the conference portion of the schedule, the Mountaineers will look to face Big 12 affiliate 15th-ranked South Dakota State.

Jake Smith, in his final Mountaineer season, is prepared to make a statement about himself and the strength of the current team.

“Given the exposure that I’ve had among the teams we’ve had over the previous years, it’s more exciting when you get the chance to wrestle a ranked team,” Smith said. “Wrestling ranked teams actually means

something. Also, this is my last opportunity to leave a footprint on the program, so setting an example to work hard, train hard, and trust the coaching staff is to lead by example.”

In this week’s NWCA Coaches’ Poll for January 9th, the Mountaineers received 12 votes to enter the Top 25, which speaks highly of Henson’s impact on the program and the direction it’s headed.

“I try not to think about rankings and I tell our guys not to, but we’re excited about it and we appreciate it,” Henson said. “It helps with attitude. We’re building on what we’ve been doing since I got here. The guys are wrestling tough, and they watch video and scout to be prepared.”
