HURRICANE – The Hurricane High School Redskins staged a late scoring drive to come from behind and secure a win against the Capital High School Cougars Friday night in Hurricane. Hurricane quarterback Austin Hensley drove the Redskins offense 80 yards down the field in the game's closing minutes and then carried the ball in from 1yard out with nine seconds to go to secure the 23-20 come from behind victory. A rain-soaked, but still enthusiastic crowd cheered the game winning score, which helps keep the Redskins playoff hopes alive. Coming into the game, the Redskins were ranked No. 19 in Class AAA, while the Cougars were ranked No. 10. The top 16 teams in each class qualify for the postseason playoffs. Early on Friday evening it would have been hard to predict that last second heroics would be needed as the Redskins dominated the first half of the game. Hurricane received the game's opening kickoff and drove the ball steadily down the field, culminating in a 5-yard touchdown

Following alternating possessions, Hurricane mounted another scoring drive in the second quarter that saw Michael Molina knock in a field goal to go up 100 – a score that would stand at halftime.
Hurricane's smothering defense was able to keep Capital in check the entire first half, as the Cougars went to the locker room at halftime without a first down, and with only 3 net yards. After the break, the Cougars returned to the field with a new energy. Capital mounted a scor-
ing drive early in the third quarter that culminated in a 6-yard touchdown run from Kashaun Haley. Hurricane blocked the extra point, holding onto a 10-6 lead. Next, the Cougars intercepted SEE HURRICANE ON PAGE 8

“We are very pleased to have received this recognition for our graphic design work,” said Jeffrey M.

sion 3 newspaper category. First place reflected an ad promoting Roane General Hospital’s urgent care services, while the second place ad communicated a New Year’s holiday message on behalf of the hospital. “I would like to congratulate Barnes Agency for winning yet again in the Best Agency category in this year’s West Virginia Press Association statewide advertising awards,” stated Roane General Hospital CEO, Douglas
E. Bentz. “Roane General has been fortunate to receive first class marketing from Barnes Agency, and we could not ask for a better partnership to promote the services that our hospital offers.” The Barnes Agency was notified of the awards by Spencer Newspapers, the company who publishes the newspapers in which the ads were placed. Spencer Newspaper’s Publisher, David J. Hedges said,
“Barnes Agency consistently produces high quality advertising products for their clients, and it shows with award winning results each and every year. We are pleased to help them get Roane General’s message out to the community and look forward to working with them in the future.” For more information about Barnes Agency or to view samples of their work, visit www.thebarnesagency.com.

Applying for a Civil War Medal to be topic of Oct. 11 lecture SUBMITTED ARTICLE CHARLESTON – Greg Carroll, staff historian for the West Virginia Archives and History section, will present “Applying for a West Virginia Civil War Medal” on Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Archives and History Library at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston. The 6 p.m. program is free and open to the public. Carroll will explain the ori-
gin of Civil War medals and how they were authorized by the state legislature in 1866 as “tokens of respect” for Union veterans of West Virginia military units. Many were unclaimed, and eventually they were turned over to archives and history, which began a program to distribute the remaining medals to descendants who file a properly documented line of descent from the veteran to
themselves. Carroll holds a bachelor’s degree from Marshall University. He has worked for the West Virginia Division of Culture and History in the archives and history section for more than 23 years. While there he has compiled 20 years working with Civil War medal claims. For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to
register for the program, but advance registration is not required to attend. To register in advance, contact Robert Taylor, library by e-mail at manager, bobby.l.taylor@wv.gov or at (304) 558-0230, ext. 163.
