Here is the agenda for the Upshur County Commission meeting scheduled for January 9, 2025.
Buckhannon-Upshur scored twice in the opening four minutes and never looked back in a commanding 5-0 Big 10 win over Preston. Rylen Carlyle scored twice, while Bella Nottingham and Katie Queen combined for the shutout.
Buckhannon-Upshur scored four goals in five minutes and rolled past Preston 10-0 in a mercy-rule rout. Coby Smith led the Bucs with two goals and two assists as B-U earned its second straight 10-0 shutout.
Buckhannon-Upshur trailed No. 7 Philip Barbour just 14-7 at halftime, but six turnovers and depth issues fueled a 35-7 loss. Landyn Carpenter ran for 268 yards as the Colts’ power game took over, overshadowing an improved 321-yard effort by the Bucs.
The Upshur County Commission will request additional matching funds for the county park tennis court renovation. A damaged subgrade has added $83,839.35 to the project’s cost.
A veterans outreach event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Upshur County Senior Center. VA staff and American Legion Post 7 will help veterans and surviving spouses with enrollment, disability claims and earned benefits; bring a DD214.
September is National Voter Registration Month, and West Virginians are urged to register or verify and update their information. Visit your county clerk or GoVoteWV.com to ensure your voice is heard on Election Day.
