The Upshur County Historical Society needs your help! Do you have any idea what is happening in this photo from Selbyville? (If you zoom in closely to the pole, you can see someone climbing up.) Any idea what the flag at the top of the pole reads? Send your ideas to our Facebook or Instagram accounts.

Upshur County’s sports calendar for March 16–22 features a full slate of lacrosse, baseball, softball, tennis, and track action. Highlights include multiple Buckhannon-Upshur home games plus West Virginia Wesleyan doubleheaders and road matchups.
West Virginia Wesleyan’s women outlasted Bloomsburg 6-1 on the new Wood Street Tennis Courts, with three singles matches going the distance in a rescheduled home showdown. The Bobcat men cruised 4-0 in their first home match of the year and jumped to No.
West Virginia Wesleyan steamrolled Geneva 17–2, taking control early and never letting up behind a 29–10 shot edge, 17 draw controls, and 21 forced turnovers.
West Virginia Wesleyan opened MEC play with a road doubleheader at EQT Park, dropping both games to Point Park, 4–1 and 12–0. The nightcap turned into a rout as the Pioneers erupted for big fourth and fifth innings, and Harold Boyce fired a complete-game no-hitter.
Hello, Buckhannon—here’s what’s buzzing March 10: B-UHS YLA students are painting picnic tables for city parks and the WV Strawberry Festival, and WVWC will host a free “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on April 16.
West Virginia Wesleyan’s service scholars completed 5,000 hours of community service last semester — work valued at more than $167,000. Social Action Coordinator Graham Godwin told Rotary how the scholarship program connects students with local nonprofits.
