FINAL | REGIONAL VOLLEYBALL

South Harrison 3, Petersburg 2

What a battle. What a comeback. What a heartbreaking finish.

After dropping the first two sets to South Harrison, the Petersburg Lady Vikings refused to go down without a fight, rallying to win the third and fourth sets to force a decisive fifth.

In a tightly contested final set, the Lady Vikings battled until the very end before falling 15-13, bringing their postseason run to a close.

Despite the heartbreaking finish, the Lady Vikings showed tremendous grit and determination, fighting back from a two-set deficit and leaving everything on the court.

Congratulations to the Lady Vikings on a hard-fought season!

BREAKING: STEWART SENTENCED TO 20–40 YEARS IN PRISON

Brandon Parham Stewart was sentenced Wednesday in Pendleton County Circuit Court to two consecutive 10-to-20-year prison terms following his September guilty pleas to two felony counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian or person in a position of trust.

Circuit Judge John H. Treadway Jr. denied Stewart's request for alternative sentencing and imposed 30 years of extended supervision following his sentence.

During the hearing, Stewart addressed the court, apologizing for his actions and the pain caused to his family. Pendleton County Prosecuting Attorney April Mallow pointed out that Stewart had apologized to numerous people but had not specifically apologized to the victim.

Stewart had originally been indicted on 27 felony counts. The remaining 25 counts were dismissed under his plea agreement.

More details on today's sentencing proceedings will appear next week in the Grant County Press.

What could the proposed Spring Run power plant mean for Grant County’s night skies?

Grant County is home to some of the darkest skies east of the Mississippi River, but a proposed power plant near Dorcas has raised questions about the potential effects of light pollution.

From changes to the nighttime landscape to possible impacts on wildlife and nearby communities, a closer look at what could be at stake.

Questions, concerns and a few tense exchanges dominated the October 27 Grant County Commission meeting as residents pressed county officials for answers about the proposed Spring Run Energy natural gas power plant.

From environmental concerns and potential impacts on the Spring Run trout hatchery to financial safeguards, property rights and questions surrounding a commissioner's involvement, the discussion raised issues extending well beyond the proposed facility itself.

What did commissioners know, what concerns did residents raise, and where does the project stand now?

The Petersburg Colts defeated the Capon Bridge Bears 32–8 in Sunday's South Branch Valley Youth Football League Championship Game, securing their third championship since the Larry P. Snyder Memorial Championship Award tradition began in 2018!

With titles in 2019, 2021 and 2026, the Colts are the first team to capture three championships in the league's recorded history dating back to 2018.

Congratulations to the players, coaches and families on an incredible accomplishment!

A note on the championship history: The three-title record refers specifically to the championship records maintained since 2018. The league's history dates back to 1975, and this distinction is not intended to overlook championships earned in earlier years.
