Gridiron Grizzly

It wasn’t a very auspicious beginning to the 2021 football season last

week for Gridiron Grizzly as he went 1-1 in his debut.

Mount View’s shutout of River View went on the plus side of the

ledger for the Bear, while Wyoming East’s win over Westside

offset that McDowell County matchup’s victory.

This weekend all the colleges get underway except Concord

University.

With Mount View at Man having been scrubbed due to the

coronavirus, only two local high school games remain to go

with the five college contests.

For Week Two, here goes:

OAK HILL 24  WESTSIDE 16

The Renegades come up a little short on the road for the 

second consecutive week.

WYOMING EAST 17  MINGO CENTRAL 14

Coach Adkins’ Warriors roll to 2-0 with this victory.

In college play:

WVU 27  MARYLAND 21

The Mountaineers get started on the right foot.

MARSHALL 31  NAVY 14

A big road-win for the Thundering Herd.

VIRGINIA TECH 35  UNC 21

The Hokies win big at home.

LAWRENCE TECH 42  BLUEFIELD STATE COLLEGE 17

The first football game in over four decades for BSC.

BLUEFIELD UNIVERSITY 26  THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY 23

The Rams win their initial contest after becoming

a university earlier this year.
