Buckhannon: Then and Now…Join us in showcasing the landmarks of Upshur County throughout history and today.
This week, we showcase a beautiful pre-Civil War home at the site of today’s Citizen’s Bank of West Virginia, at the corner of West Main Street and South Locust Street in Buckhannon. This site was also the location of Buckhannon’s Volunteer Fire Department from 1950-2007. Original photo courtesy of the Upshur County Historical Society.
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.
