UPDATE 4:53 p.m.

West Virginia has offered 2022 defensive end Jimmy Scott. Scott (6-foot-3, 250 lbs.) verbally committed to Tennessee in August.

UPDATE – 7 a.m.

Let’s get the day and week started with some high school football scheduling news. Some games were added to the schedule for this week:

• Musselman at Fairmont Senior, 7 p.m. Friday
• Tygarts Valley at Gilmer County, 7 p.m. Friday
• Linsly at Wheeling Park, 7 p.m. Friday
• Mount View at River View, 7:30 p.m. Friday
• Cameron at East Fairmont, 7 p.m. Thursday

Of note from that batch of new games is Linsly’s trip to Wheeling Park. Linsly is a former military schools turned boarding and day school located in Wheeling, but has never played a football game against Wheeling Park — which opened in 1976. The last time Linsly played one of the schools that consolidated to form Wheeling Park was a 1975 game against Warwood High. Linsly is not a West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission member, and is not eligible for playoff contention in West Virginia high school sports.
