Down at the Barbara County Fair, we are patiently waiting for Chase Beckham and the crowd is growing. Everyone is super excited for him to come out. I'm at the Barbara County Fair in Philippine and I'm getting ready to go backstage and meet Chase here in just a little bit. So I wanna be doing that here in just a moment. - Well, I'll be introducing the Barbara County Fair Queen, Lindsay Wiese and runner up a lot of howdershellts coming up at nine o'clock. So make sure you stay tuned. My name is Melissa for WBRCDF. - WD&E, Alkins. (upbeat music) - And welcome back to Liberty High School, where Alkins has to lead 1914 over the Mountaineers of Liberty. What a game this has been, D. - Well, it's exactly what we expected. We knew there's gonna be a lot of emotions. You got two teams that if you look at their rosters, very, very, very young teams. - Yes. - A lot of freshmen are sophomores on both sides. You know, and there's a lot of, you know, an experience even in the junior senior ranks to a degree for both sides. - Right. - So, you know, I mean, it's kind of what we expected, but you know what, good game, that's all you can ask for. - Oh yeah, definitely. And of course, we thank Lottelty Tire Center for bringing us our halftime show and Liberty Mountaineer Band out on the field. And I'm sure they'll be well. I have yet to meet a bad band. So they're all good. I always like the band as they come in. - You just like this thing. - Well, I like that too. Okay, if you joined us late in the first quarter with 225, Hilliard got in from five yards for the first score of the game. Gosh, excuse me. And then in the second quarter, Hill scored, and then Phillips eight-yard run, and in 745 to play, Phillips 14-yard run, and then Hilliard 19-yard run, and Clevenger with the two-point conversion, and then Nick Bowers with that 59-yard touchdown run and the point after no good, 1914, the lead belongs to the Tigers. And, you know, it's just been a tale of offense and a tale of defense. Yeah, you do good things, and all of a sudden, you lose the fumble, you know, in close, and, you know, just different things. And penalties hasn't been that big of a problem yet tonight. And, you know, both teams play in a very clean game, by all means, but, you know, a lot of the jitters you think you'd see more of is like, off sides and motions, and we haven't seen it that often tonight. - Yeah, we haven't seen that, but I mean, it's just again, you know, it's the first night, it's the first week. You're always gonna have some ups and downs. And when a game like this, when you have two teams that are evenly matched, it basically comes down to which game makes that fatal mistake. - Yeah. - And which team Kevin loves it. - Exactly, exactly, exactly what we're at right now. And Elkins had an opportunity to, you know, march in the end, then take a two touchdown lead, you go in the half, and instead of fumble the football, now everybody still has a chance to come back in the second half and, you know, take the lead, and let's just think, go back and forth to the fourth quarter, and we'll just gonna have to see who has the ball last. - That's right, that's the way it looks. Okay, we'll be back the fourth half-time after these messages on 98-9WD and 8. - Now through September 30th, you can get up to $200 back on select good-year tires at Glottfeldie Tire Center in Elkins.

And earlier, we were telling you that both of these teams with younger players. And of course, we didn't get off to a good start here with the broadcast, we're picking it up better now. And of course, we didn't get the coaches interview that was sponsored by Scotty Restaurant of Elkins and Taylor Automotive with the pregame. And of course, Randolph County Solid Waste with their starting lineups. And I'm just gonna go quickly over the offense for Liberty tonight. - Sure it is. - Okay, the quarterback is Isaiah Ethelton, six foot, 175, a sophomore. And in the running backs, we have Quentin Hilliard, and he had five-six, the little guy that man can he fly. And then he's a junior. And then Landen Klevenger, of course, he's the big boy. 185, 5'11", and he is a senior. And then also Noah Schoonover, he's a running back, and he's just a junior. And then it tied in, they have Caden Dodd, and he's just a junior in Brayton, Layfield, a sophomore, okay? And then on the tackle, the left tackle is Hendrick, he's six foot, and he's just a junior. And then Landen Klevenover, the senior, he's at the left guard. Jayton Thompson is a center, he's just a sophomore. And at the guard, Caden not the junior, and Isaiah Curry, also a junior. And do you want to take a look at what we didn't get to talk about earlier with the Elkins Tigers? Yeah, yeah, let me give you what I sure they gave you in the beginning. And we saw the Tigers. So the starting quarterback at Forest for the Tigers is Nate Powell, I think the sophomore. And at the back field at Wayne Team/Jet Series Motion Book, we've got Dylan Fortnite, Nick Bowers and Kyle Reed, W.R. Backs. At tight end, we've got Preston Eversall, the junior. The split end is plenty of Miller, the senior, in his first year playing football. And at the plate boys across the line, at the left tackle, you've got Aiden Lambert left side. At Turner, Elkins Stanley, who's a sophomore, you've got Devon Holford, the tank. Everybody guard, he's a sophomore, and then the finishes up with Camp Warner, who's also a junior at the right tackle. So again, there's a lot of young bodies out here on the field for both teams, but you know what? These Tigers are looking kind of good. Yeah, they are. And you know, I think, you know, a lot of it, too, is going to be how well either team can start the second half. You know, that could be the tail of the tails. We'll see, you know, we'll see about that. But again, you know, a big thank you that, you know, we didn't get to it, but, you know, Scotty, for our coaches interview, Taylor Automotive, for our pregame, and of course, Randolph County Solid Waste Authority with the lineups. And if we ever have an injury-advanced hearing solution, and Glottfeldy Tire, hey, these dudes bring us the halftime show, and we really like that. We also want to thank Barners Outdoor Power Equipment, and they provide us with the post-game show. And then we have Mountain State Structures, Mountain Ear Home Care, Mountain Valley Bank, Ligot Supply, Performance Chevrolet, Elkins Builder Supply, Clayton Holmes of Elkins, and Sonny's Carpet. So, you know, we have a list of good sponsors, so if you see them, you know, hey, step in and say, hey, we appreciate this because, you know, able to give Elkins the opportunity to listen to myself and demand you on every Friday night, all season long. - Well, we can get on the air. - Yeah, well, we can get on the air. Okay, yeah, I know, you know, you're fine. And, you know, for you folks listening, you know, the first part of the game was just, you know, we apologize, but, you know, we're running on pins and needles, trying to get this out in the other don, and we're both very frustrated. And finally, Dee got us on, and we're very, very appreciative of that. And don't forget, next Friday night, Elkins will be at home to face the Lincoln. And of course, 645 will be the pregame show, and seven o'clock tip off. And Elkins, coach Ware said he wants to see that stand, the stand's just completely full. - We're shutting Randolph County down next Friday. I'm making a petition to the board right now. I work with his in all schools. (laughing) Off on all levels, we're shutting down work. There's no work on Friday. - Good luck. - It's gonna be a big old tailgate party. - Yeah. - For the first home game of the season. And that's just all there's to it. - Yeah. - That's what's happening. I'm shutting Relkins down. - There you go. - Come around. - And I'm gonna say hello to my beautiful mom who's listening to us tonight. And of course, my beautiful wife Kay, who takes care of us. Thank you very much for listening. And all the listeners out there. You know, I've got Jerry Wymer, my old buddy who listens to me. And, you know, it's kind of funny with workmen there. It's Maggie's not here. I'm sure she's home listening. - There you go. - A little sister. Oh, she's such a sweetheart. - Yes, indeed. You have anybody you want to say, hey, too? - Oh, yeah. - Of course. - Of coop and meatballs. - Well, the coops are either on the deck or the garage. We had that conversation later. But they are listening. So, shout out to the coops and the danglesers and the neighbors, all the neighborhood. Obviously, my family, I think my kids might be listening, maybe possibly. The work crew, the megacorps, my work family, love you guys to death. They've got to give a big old birthday shout out to my quarterback. My little quarterback, Kay and Daniel, turns eight today. - Wow. - So, he's gonna do big things in front of you. Oh, yeah. He's my little guy in my quarterback. He's gonna do big things. My nephew, Alex Thompson, I'll have a birthday on Saturday, tomorrow. And my center, wayla McCauley, will have his birthday on Sunday. So, we celebrated that last night. So, shout out to those guys. - Yeah, we're gonna have shut out 'cause down for the whole weekend. - We're shutting everything down. I'm calling it right now. Jerry and Barker, where's marriage? I'm calling Jerry and Mark, too. We're shutting it down. - Yeah. - But no, just thank you to everybody who listened to it every week. - Wait and Kay, and of course-- - Forget them. - No, and I can't forget, you know, Isaac Sasha, Olivia, and Jackson. - Guess what? We got a new one this year, too. How 'bout the moves? - Oh, my goodness, yeah, the moves. - They forget moves. - No, sir.

Once again, Melissa broadcasting live down at the Barber County Fair in Philippi, West Virginia. And let me tell you, I just got out from backstage meeting Chase Beckham. Super nice, super cool guy.

There's plenty to do for everyone of all ages. So come on out to the Barber County Fair. My name is Melissa for WVRC Media. - News, weather and your favorite country with Joe Danger on 98-9, W-T-N-E. - And welcome back to Liberty High School where the Tigers are leading 1914 as we're in our halftime show, brought to you by Glott Feldy Tire. And did you have any scores for us? - Let me take you on a quick trip around the state of West Virginia on a Friday night. - Good. - So we're gonna start in Quad A, where George Washington defeated St. Albans 39 to nothing. That was the last night's score. No score for Muscleman and Hanley. We've got Hurricane and Huntington's tied at seven. We've got Martensburg doing what Martensburg does over Boulou DC. There are 42 nothing in the first half. Morgan County of a Parkersburg right now tend to nothing. We've got Wheeling Park over Parkersburg South 14 to six. That's at the half. We've got Rockstown, Virginia over Hedgesville at the moment, seven to six in the first half. Spring Mills 28-0 over Jefferson. That's kind of a shocker. And we've got Woodrow Wilson over Washington 10 to seven and that's at the half in Quad A. We will move over to single A and we'll come back. How about that? - That's good. - So the other scores we have right now, we've got Clay Patel over 100, 22 to six at the half. Wohama is beating East Hardy. How about that 28 to 14 at the half? - Wow. - And we've got, what else we have here? Wellsville, Ohio is over Madonna right now, 14 to six. That's in the first. We've got Pendleton County over Greenbire West. Ooh, shocker. That's a 21 to 13 score. So shout out to my boy over there. Isaac, he's running back to the West. I'm sure he'll get it going here in the second half. I have to Gagey. Come on boy. What else we got here? We've got Dodgers County over St. Mary's seven nothing. We've got Tucker doing what Tucker does over Pudgahontas County. That's 32 to six at the half. We've got Valley Wetzel, 12 to seven over Tiger's Valley. And I believe that's it in single A. So we will jump to double A real quick. But we'll get the triple A. And right now, Stelv Harrison in a baseball score leads to Braxton County, two nothing. We've got Chapmanville, over Sissonville, 14 to seven at the half. We have Wheeling Central over James Monroe, 28 to six. That's in the fourth quarter. What else have you got? We've got Man over Logan, 13 to seven. That's a final. That was from last night. Tucker Valley over Mango County. That was the final as well, 14 to six. That was played last night as well. Oak Hill over Nicholas County 14 zip. And we're over Oakland last night, 40 to 21, excuse me. And no score from Braxton and Silla Barber just yet. We'll try to get you an update there. Summer's County over Pikeview, 15 to seven. And Rome County leads Shady Springs, 14 to six. And we've got Williams Town, 34, nothing over Waivenswood. Ouch. There gonna be another powerhouse again this year. Looks like, and that's your score is in double A. And we'll finish up what we're at in Triple A. So right now, Petersburg over Berkley Springs, 13 to seven. We've got Bridgeport all over Buchanan, 49, nothing at the half. Wow. North Marion squeaked a seven point went out over East Fairmont last night. That was 28, 21. And we have Greenbire East, two, nothing over Riverside. And we've got Herbert Hoover, who we'll see later on down the road with a squeaker over Independence, 37, 30. And that was last night. We've got Nitro over Lincoln, 14 to nothing. Hampshire leads Preston, 14, seven. Princeton all over Capitol 41 to 12. That was last night. RCB and a big one last night over Kaiser 48 to seven. And I believe, sir, that is all our scores from the world of West Virginia High School football. Thank you so much. You're welcome. And again, we appreciate all the listeners and just a friendly reminder that next Friday night, the Tigers will be at home for their home opener as Lincoln comes to town. And I'm telling you, to Coach Ware, he really wants the whole thing just filled up with people. And I don't see why not. So those Coach Greg Hunt, he said, we're shutting down Randolph County next week. Didn't we, Coach? We're shutting it down in their sleep. OK, anything I said, you see what he said? Yeah, I heard him. Coach Greg Hunt, come up back. We're shutting it down. Oh my goodness. And so what's going on with the little kids, D? Oh, we got a whole lot going on.

There's still plenty of stuff to do. We're broadcasting live for WVRC Media. - We're bringing the country. 1989, W.D.D.E. Alkins. - And welcome back to Liberty High School. Great football game tonight. 1914, the score. And now that that sun's gone down, feels a lot better here, D. - It's still hot as I don't know what it is. - Yeah, it is. - We just drank warm water and it tasted good. - It did, yeah. - That's how hot it is. - Yes, that's how hot it is. And again, can't keep stressing. Next Friday night, the Tigers at home for their first game against the Lincoln Who. - Googers! - Yes, the Googers come to Alkins for the second game of the season. And did you have a score on Lincoln and that? - I did not see that yet. I'll try to get you an update as well on that. - Okay. - It doesn't matter. We're still shot in Randolph County now. - That's true, yeah. - Mary Jane Marko, we're shut that down. - Uh-huh. - We're closing off streets and everything. - Yeah. - No work. - Next Friday, no work. - Yeah. - No school. - No work, no school. And I have to give a big shout out to my beautiful, wonderful, fabulous, best life I could ever ever have, as she has been helping with me and helping with you. - Yes, ma'am. - All week long. - You're the best every week to take care of us. - We like that. You're a shout out to my coach and staff too. I know there was. - Oh, yeah. - My guys, Bill Hess and Cody Daniels and Zach Thompson and Mark Wilson, my boy Chris. You know, thank you guys for all you do. And thanks for putting up with me and my crazy self. And I can't wait to get this thing started with you guys on Sundays. - Yeah. - You're ready. - Sunday, what's the hours down again, D? - We'll be there from noon to three. We got a little one to play. The Pee Wee's play first and then we play at three o'clock. - Okay. - Sounds good. - We're shutting Sunday down too. We're shutting down Randolph County Sunday. I need everybody to come out and support these years. We use football points. I go on it. We're shutting it down. - Hey, it's just the future though of the Elkins High School football teams. - Well, it really is. I mean, I coach five to seven year olds and it's so awesome to see them at this age because they can barely spell football. Nonetheless, I don't understand it. And then you're teaching the game and then to watch them progress as they come up through the years and see them get to this level, just like some of these kids I've coached that are out here that are serious now, it's chilling. And it's rewarding at the end. And I'll tell you what, it's fun. And I love every second of it. - We having an earthquake here? - I'm telling you like this. That was a 4.5, like I'm about to run. I don't know what's going on, but I'm not cool with things shaking when I'm suspended in the air. - Wow, something's going on. - Help. - Okay. And, excuse me. Okay, Liberty, we'll get the ball as we begin second half action here. And again, the score is Elkins 19 and Liberty 14. And, you know, I got a text from John Bennett saying, wow, what a way for the first half of a game to be in the very first game for the Tigers. - John Bennett. - And indeed, you're right, yes. - I forget, you know, we got the shapers and the duties that listened to us. Oh yeah, there's a boy Todd, probably other shepherds listening to us and an old buddy from high school and went to the 30-year reunion. I got guys from out of state saying, "Hey, man, we listening, you got it ready." That's pretty cool. - Yeah, it is. - Dr. Tyran Kuffieke and everything. Let's see Kentucky, if you're listening. There's your shout out, buddy. - Okay, Elkins will kick from right to left to Liberty. And again, what a game it's been. And, you know, the question could be, which team can get it going first in the second half or, you know, who can get the momentum and get it going or who can stop who? It's just hard to tell. - It's a huge draft for Liberty, especially the way the first half ended. They could have been down two scores. You got lucky, you know, you caused a fumble and now you get the ball to start the second half. Big drive right here. - Indeed. All right, here comes the kick and it's a squibber and it's gonna be picked up. Oh, almost bounces over his head. At the 14, the 15, 20, 25, 30, look, 20 feet to 40. What a run, 45. And we've got a player down and finally, who was running that ball? - Yeah, that was great to tell you the running back. - Hell yeah, okay. - You couldn't have for a better start in Liberty. - I mean, he's inside Elkins' territory at the 41-yard line. That's exactly what they needed and that's exactly what the Tigers didn't need. - Right. Whoo. So, I guess we'll see what happens here. You know, both teams doing well in certain areas and both teams struggling in certain areas. - Oh, and Liberty's not gonna panic right now. They're right where they want to be. They're gonna pound the rocks. If they can average three and a half a carry and move the chains every three or four downs, they're good. - Okay, at the Elkins' 41 moving from left to right, ball right in the middle of the field. And here is the play and they're gonna give it to the big boy and look at this, he only got a couple that time. And you know, Elkins that time got him by the late flag. - Yeah, that's probably very late. - Some personal doings down there. - Yeah. - With guests. - Wow. - Let's see what happened in the scrum down there. We'll see what they called it. They don't need any personal fouls. - Yeah. - I see them right now. - It looks like Elkins is backing up. - Yeah, that's not what you need. That's not a good start as far as the kickoff and then you turn it, follow it up with a personal foul. - And here it is. - No. - Oh, it's going the other way. - Oh, it's going the other way. - Well. - Personal foul. - You're there with liberty. - You don't want that either. You just had a great quick return and now you're gonna be back on your side of the field. - That was kind of weird because Elkins was backing up and all of a sudden, I mean, that flag came out extremely late. I did not see what happened, but. - Well, there was. - And the ball's gonna be clear back D. I'm sorry, the ball's gonna be clear back to the Liberty 47 yard line. - A bunch of players all kind of mumbled together. They don't know if somebody said something 'cause there was two referees right there as well. - Okay, Elkins with the lead, Liberty with the ball. 1914 the score and Liberty is going right up the gut and a pickup of what, about three? - Pick up the three, I'll tell you what. Owen Stanley shot you the line. - Owen Stanley. - He didn't make that tackle here. He might be in the end zone. - Okay, the ball at the 49 yard line. 49 yard line of Liberty on the left hash and they move again from left to right. And Liberty trailing Elkins 1914 with 11 minutes and four seconds to go in the third quarter. Okay, is this third down? - This is third down. - Okay, third and 20, 25. - Third and the whole lot. - Yeah, third and the whole lot. Okay, this time the big boy gets it again. He's breaking back those 11s here, gets to about the 40 yard line and he gained the whole lot. - He did. That kid is a monster. Okay. - So the yard gain, that's gonna put him back in manageable. - Oh yeah, they're at the Elkins 39 now. It's where it's gonna be forced down and about eight. - It's about four to eight, at least it's four to manageable. - Oh yeah. - Inside of 10 yards again with a team that does it fast very often. I think three more attempts that we normally see them through, but they haven't been successful completed. - Well, 10 and a half minutes to play. Order number three. Fourth down, four Liberty. Back to pass the ball, he's got all time and he's got a man. Look at this. And was that Quentin Hilliard? - No, that was thought, I believe. - Okay, guys. - Okay. - So Dodd gets enough for a first down and the crowd's starting to get into this too for Liberty. The ball's gonna be spotted that the Oakland's 20-yard line on the left hash. - Needed eight, got 19. - Yeah. And maybe they surprised the Oakland's defense by passing that time. - Well, that's the thing with this little bit of your offense. They'll lure you to sleep and nothing, you know. - And they set up in a stick-eye 95% of the time. And here is the little man with the ball and he's sneaking through those holes and then he's inside the 15. It looks like to about the 14. So a nice pick up there on first down. And that's gonna bring up a second and three. Actually, he got seven yards on that, D. - Well, he's quick. He's shifty and you lose him in the pile. So once he gets to that line of scrimmage, you can't find him. - Oh, Hill, that's right. - So he squirts out of there. - And he's only about five-fives, so that's-- - Some thing, he's a tiny guy, but-- - Mm-hmm. - Okay, second down and three, non-23 to play, quarter number three, Elkins leading Liberty, 1914 and Liberty in the Red Zone. And Liberty, and the ball is handed off and not a hole out there. Or-- - Who was that? - It was a hole. - It was a hole. - It was up back. - What? - That was-- - No, you're tall, okay. - Yeah, you still can't pick him out. - (laughs) - Now, if you get dark and you said, what do we just think? - Yeah, you can't think. - Okay, it's going to be third down and about two and a half yards for Liberty. 848 on a turning clock, quarter number three, Elkins 19, Liberty, 14. - They're inside the Red Zone, so-- - Oh, yeah. - This is four down territory for sure. - Mm-hmm. - And the quarterback's going to keep it, and wow, he got a first down and then some. So nice move, and the ball's going to be at about, what, the six-yard line it looks like? - Looks like that, right about where they're going to spot it. - Mm-hmm, that was a nice run there by Efland. - Well, I said it earlier, they've got something working inside the tackles there. - Yeah, okay, so now that's going to bring up first and goal from the five-yard line. So, Liberty knocking on the door, trailing 19-14 with 8 minutes and 18 seconds to play on a turning clock. The ball right in the middle of the field, and the stick eye again. And here's Efland, and it gives the clevenger this time, and there's not going to be much there. So there's, wow, they are hitting him low. - Yeah, or Quicksion here, I'm going to talk about both. What is going on tonight? - Wow. Okay, 7.54, and it's going to be second and goal, and it looks like the ball is at the four-yard line. It's hard to see from here. - It's just inside the five, so. - Yeah, we'll call it the four. - This might be Mr. Clevenger again, a couple of handles. - It could very well be. Okay, second and goal. And again, not a surprise. It's the stick eye, Levenger up over the center. And here is the give to the little guy, and that's Hilliard, and Hilliard gets close. He's about the two-yard line. - It's like right around the one or two. Kind of hard to see from this angle. - Yeah, it is. - I guess, hey, it looks like the one-yard line. The third and goal from the one-yard line. Seven minutes, five seconds to play. Quarter number three, Liberty trailing 1914, but they have the ball at the Oakland's one-yard line. - Well, this is either right. They have one in the quarterback keeper. You handed off the landing clevenger from six inches out. - Yep. Okay, first and goal. And. - QB keeper. - Quarterback keeper. He's into the end zone. Nice call play, nice play for this. Okay, and that comes with 6.45 to play. In the third quarter. - Well, just keep in mind again, that was a great drive by Liberty coming out of halftime. Like, especially when they could have gone down two scores before the half. - Mm-hmm. - Now, Elkins has to put all that behind them, and they're gonna have to answer. - Yes, indeed. Okay. So now it's 20, what do we think they'll do? - It's 20, 19. - Well, I haven't seen him kick very much. - I haven't either. - They're going for a few seconds of your choice. - Yeah. - Look for Hillier to look for Dodd down here. - Yeah. - Okay, from the stick. And here is the give and Hillier. - Here it is. - And he did not get in. They said no. - Well, I was sure he got in that time. - I thought he did too, but then the other side of the field ran over, said no, he did not make it. - Wow, no soup for you, young man. - Okay, 20 to 19, Liberty regains the lead, but back with the kickoff after these messages on 98.9WD&D. - It's a mower mega sale at Varners Outdoor Power Equipment.

What a game we have, first game of the season for both games and I'm telling you what, these players are giving their fans everything they want to see. - Well, the important part for Liberty is they ate up nearly half of the third quarter. - Yeah, they did. - It was almost a six minute drive, in which, you know, put a hurting on that Tiger defense and you got a lot of these players that go back and forth on both sides of the ball. So let's see what the Tigers can do on defense on offense now. Okay, kicking from left to right is a little guy. Look at this. Oh, and almost Elkins able to fall on the football. So, Elkins, and let's see who that was. That was Devin Hover, Devin Hover fell on the football, which was good news and I thought it was going to squib out of there, but it didn't. - No, we did not, and I'll tell you what, we've got some good kids in the community. We just had two little girls come up here that found $200, Bill was landing the ground and came up here to report it. Who does that these days? - He was mine. - He was here. (laughing) - Oh, wow, look at these girls. - Listen, kudos, kudos to the lady. - That's right. - I mean, anybody else would have walked off and-- - Oh, yeah. - Had themselves a new pair of shoes or something, but you know what, there's some good kids left. - Okay, 42 yard line of Elkins first and 10. And here's the gift to Bowers, not much there, but look at him, he's making it himself. He's up over midfield and inside of Liberty territory, man, he got hit hard and he just bounced right off of that hit and first down Elkins at the 44 yard line of Liberty. - You're seeing a big difference in Nick right now. I mean, last year he would kind of hesitate, put his shoulder down before he got going. Now he's just-- - Oh, he's going to poke in the hand off but he's 100 miles an hour when the ball touches his gut, so-- - Yes. - You see the payoff. - Okay, first and 10 Tigers. And they are at the right hash mark of Liberty's 44 yard line. Okay. - You do, that's awesome. - That was my heart. You don't see people do that these days. - No. - And you about to take it. - No, I don't want you to take it. - All right, first and 10 Elkins. And here is the hand off and this time, the hours didn't find as much, but he still got positive. He already got out of that. And they're going to spot the ball at the 30, 39 yard line of Liberty where it's going to bring up second down and about four and a half. - I'll tell you what, he's running with a different purpose to start this season and that's a good thing because-- - Yeah. - Six minutes and 10 seconds to play in the third quarter, 2019 Liberty with the lead Elkins with the ball. - The Tigers go with you. The other man goes, if he's doing that, then he's going to have to. - You better believe it. Okay, Sarah, line up over soon. And here is the give and look at this. Bowers all the way up the middle. He's still in his feed at the 35, 30, 25. And finally knocked down at about the 24 yard line, first and 10 Elkins. Wow. And I'm telling you what, you know, that wing tee and that jet sweep, that's something that, I guess, you know, it's full in Liberty. - Well, it's a lot of misdirection. - Yeah. - So, you know, it's, you got to be on your toes with a defensive side, especially at front. You know, and the offensive line of Elkins is getting penetration on that defensive line and the linebackers are trying to figure out what the rainbacks are about six yards deep. - Okay, back, running back there. The back running the ball is Caden Phillips. And Phillips with some good yardage just he gets up over the 20 and at about the 16 yard line. - That's actually what Caden has, super hard tonight too. All these backs are running hard. - Yeah. - It's a great thing to see. - So the 16 yard line, where's the ball, where the ball is spotted? And that's going to bring up second and about two and a half. Wow. Hey, the referees blow their whistles. What's going on? - Yeah, I might have an equipment issue over there. Well, let's see. Oh, I think something was going on with the big o's, the equipment, everything. - Yeah, so they have to substitute, okay. - I'll tell you what, Elkins might be putting us together a little too quick. - Yeah. - I don't lose one of those defense out a little more. - All right, second down, Elkins. And here is the give up the middle and it looks like a first down. And who was that carrying the ball that time? - It would be Mr. Bowers. - I didn't see it. - All right, so Mr. Bowers picks up a first down and the ball is going to be spotted at the 18 yard line. So Elkins in the red zone, 454 to play quarter, number three, 2019, Liberty with the lead. - So you wouldn't think Bowers is having the night. I mean, I missed the first quarter stats with the, whatever's, but I mean, he's already at 125 yards and that's just what I have. So he's probably well over 130 yards right now. - Okay. And here is the give again to Bowers. Bowers going up the middle and they have him. Look at this. If he gets away from the Bowers, he's going to go into the end zone. They had Bowers down, the whistles didn't blow and Bowers went all the way to the end zone. - In one cave. Wow, 13 yards. - Pater. - Mm, mm, mm. - They had him initially stopped at the end of about two. He kept the legs churning, would refuse to go down and Liberty just couldn't bring him down. Next thing you know, he squirts out. Now was that 13 yards or more? - That was 14 yards. - Wow. Okay. Now we'll see what Elkins will do here. - Looks like they're going to go to Elkins too. Okay, Elkins going for two. And here is the give to Bowers and Bowers gets in. So the two point conversion is good. 28, 19 Elkins, or excuse me, listen to me. I'm so used to, woo. I'm so used to other things, D. - Should be up three. - 28 to 20. Right? Or 27 to 20 on 40. Okay, back with a kick after these messages on 98 9WDD. - Scotty's doing this Sunday, September 1st and Monday, September 2nd for our annual Labor Day picnic.

(upbeat music) - And welcome back to High School, where the Tigers come to take in at B2720 here in the third quarter with 434 to go. - Whoo, what a game, D. - And I'll tell you what, Nick Bowers is having himself a game and that two-point conversion was very important because I put them up seven and it seems like both Kings have now settled to go for two, not necessarily a given. So, even if Liberty scores here, that two-point conversion is not a given. - Yeah, they have to get in there, right? - So, if you force them to go for two, they either go up one or you're down one. So what do you do if you're Liberty if you score? Do you have anybody that can kick the tie this up? - Okay, and it'll forget next Friday night, Oakland's at home against the Lincoln Cougars and you can catch all the action right here if you don't come to the game and that'll be 645, three game and seven o'clock kickoff. We will be on the air at 645. - Yes, we will. - All right, Elkins will kick from right to left. And what a game this has been. - Whoo! - Wow, wow, wow. - Now, let's see how it plays out 'cause Elkins scored pretty quick. That was about a two minute, just a little over two minute drive. But now Liberty is gonna get the ball back and they're gonna try to extend this thing and run as much time off the clock as possible. - Oh yeah. - Let's see what they do to this Tiger defense and try to wear them down. We'll see if that Tiger defense can get a stop. Get the ball back. - Hey, D'Angelo kicks and it's a squibber and it's gonna be taken by Hillyard and he's gonna be upended as about the 32 yard line. - Meat rally rider. - Rally rider, yes. - Rally rider on the stones. - Yeah. I'm glad you have your singing voice back. - I'm here, I'm back now. We'll be. - Mine's too dry to be singing right now. - Yeah. All right, and actually they'll spot the ball at the 33 yard line on the left hash as Liberty moves from left to right. Trelling 27-20 with 4-26 to play, order number three. And we're glad you joined us here on 98-9-W-DNA. Okay, Liberty with the football. - Now what Liberty cannot do is they're three and out. - Yeah. - They've got it for long, this drive as long as possible and try to punch one in the end zone. - And Liberty's gonna call a Tom out. Okay, so with the break in the action, we'll pause 32nd with 98-9-W-DNA. - Score big this fall with GoMart.

My class make Crystal Shoe checking in from Charlotte, North Carolina, hello, Crystal. - Welcome, welcome, Crystal. All right, okay, Liberty, we'll see what happens here. And they did burn the Tom out. That could be important too, you know? - Absolutely. - Okay, surprise, surprise, stick off. And here is the give to Clevenger. Clevenger this time drags tacklers with him as he gets over to the 30 to about the 32 yard line. - Well, that's what you want to do if you're Liberty. Again, you want to average three and a half, four yards of carry, you know, do that three times, there's a change, repeat, rinse, repeat. - So that's going to bring up second down and six. - As we give him four, ball at the 30, ball at the 39, almost the 39 yard line of Liberty, they move from left to right and the ball in the left hash. It guy again. And here is the give to the little guy. And look at this, he's busting through there too. And he's going to be close to a first down. Now actually that was scoon over. - And scoon over scoon over that time. - Scoon over got it that time. - Thanks, Steve. But he, you know, he's, like you said, they keep getting three and four yards and then they're fine. So it's going to be third down and one. - And that's the age you're hummus football. That's just what he does. - It is, yeah. - You get the big boys up front, they can lead the way. - Yeah. - He knows the home run. - I spoke to him earlier in the week and I'm telling you, he's such a gentleman. - He's a great guy. - I love the guy, he is awesome. Yeah. Okay, third down and one. Four Liberty, could just be Clevenger. - I wonder. - I wonder. No, don't look back. Hey, look at this. Elkins almost went to sleep, but he got up over the 45 to the 47 yard line. Wow, five yard pick up. - I'll tell you what. Dylan 40 was right there and he actually tried to rip the ball out of the pants and came through and a good job by helping to hold on to that. - Yeah. So the ball's going to be at the right hash mark. 47 yard line of Liberty, three minutes and six seconds to play in the quarter and Elkins leading 27-20. - And they move the chain. So. - Yeah, they move the chain. - Level is going to work the play clock. They're going to bring it down into single digits. - Oh yeah. - The numbers with the average and they're going to try to punch one in the end today. - Mm-hmm. - Uh-oh. - Can't get one off the field now. - Yep. Oh boy. - Oh boy. - Yes, they had to use a timeout. Oh my goodness. - That could be crucial. - That could be crucial. And we'll talk more about that in 30 seconds on 98-9 WD&E. - This past July, the CBS News program Money Watch ranked the top stage to retiring. Guess who came in first? You got it, West Virginia. It was not just for its affordability but how the state presents itself. The rushing waters of a river that feed a lush green field and the mountains that reach up to touch the blue sky. Who made this possible? You. Doing your part to keep the hills, hollows, and streams of West Virginia litter free. No wonder they call it almost heaven. This message brought to you by the Randolph County Solid Waste Authority. - This is Randolph County share for all building reminding you to be safe when you're way home from the game tonight. Let's go Tigers. (upbeat music) - Okay, welcome back. At Dominion, we said we talked a little bit more about that. That's important because there's two minutes and 42 seconds to play in the third quarter and Liberty just used their second time out in the second half. - Well, you have a whole quarter to go and this is a ball game where literally every play is crucial. - Yeah. - So if you get in a situation in the fourth quarter where you're unsure of yourself or don't have enough on the field or wherever the situation is and you have to burn another time out, that's a big deal. - It sure is. Okay, quarterback back to basketball. Look at this, downfield, he's got a man and there's a flag on the play. - Or they're gonna call pass interference and finish the veteran. I'm telling you what, he played that. He couldn't have played any better on thing. - Yeah, yeah. - Now the one they didn't call earlier probably should have been. That one was absolutely just great defensive. It looked like from here, but. - Yeah. - The Liberty Wider Shever did a great job of coming back to the football and made contact with Sylvester and that's what they're gonna call. - Yeah. Okay, so that's gonna be a, excuse me. That's gonna be an automatic first down. And the ball will be put into Elkins territory and it's gonna be inside the 40 to about 38 yard lines. - Well, again, that is another first down. I'll leave you serious. - Yeah. 236 to play, third quarter. - Okay, so you think she's been on the field for about four minutes now? - Mm-hmm. Okay, first and 10. Clevenger, look at this, look at this. Clevenger hit in the back field for a loss. - Clevenger just made, made tank. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that was seven. - Woo! - Just blew up the Liberty line. - Wow. Well, I tell you what, maybe other people weren't expecting that, but Holver was. - Yeah. - Okay, the ball at the 41 yard line, where it's gonna be a loss of about a half a yard, second and we'll call it second and 11. Two minutes and five seconds to play is a clock turn here in quarter number three. - It was interesting to real quick, Valley Wepto, four-point leader of Tigers Valley, 18, 14 and a third. - Wow. - Close one. - That is. - Okay, quarterback's gonna keep it. Look at this, he's running around in the end. He's still in, no, he stepped out of bounds. Okay, I thought he was state in bounds, but he did not. - Yeah, I will say he stepped in. - He went out right at the 30, yeah. - Could he cut back about six inches before that? He would have been down the sideline. - Yeah, and I'm telling you what, he would have been at least to the 15 or 10 before Elkins caught him. - For sure. - And so now he stepped out of bounds right at the 30 yard line. So first and, or excuse me, third down in two, four Liberty. At the Elkins 30 yard line, right hash mark, they moved from left to right, 150 to play, quarter number three, 27, 20, Elkins with the lead. - Liberty's right where they wanna be. - Oh, exactly. - 32, 31, 33. - Yeah. Okay, and here is the give, and is without the little man this time? - Yes, it was. - Okay, and Hilliard, except. - He's gonna be real close to you. - He's gonna be very close. Did they move? - No, they're gonna have to measure. - It's close. - No, the one guy over here is saying move 'em. Okay, so they're gonna need the first down. Okay, so first and 10, again, they did exactly what they wanted to, and the ball is spotted at the Elkins 27 yard line. - Oh, they're chewed up. I get, I mean, you look at the totality of the third quarter, they've eaten up probably 10 to the third quarter by themselves. - A minute and a half to go in the quarter. And here's the big boy, he gets through the hole this time, and he's inside the 20 to about the 18 yard line. Woo! So, Clevenger with some big yardage. So, the ball's gonna be spotted at the 18 yard line. - No, no, I think so. - So first and 10 from the 18 yard line, 1/16 on a turning clock. So again, they get their first down, they're in the red zone, and their down clocks down to a minute and nine. - Hmm. - Well, I don't know what they're doing in, you know, again, a minute, five to go. - Oh, yeah. - They're gonna take this thing in the fourth. - Hey, here he is again, Clevenger. He's dragging people with him, and he gets inside the 15 to around the 13 yard line. Hmm. Man. So he's gonna pick up a good three and a half yards, and that's gonna bring up second down, and very manageable as the clock's down to 40 seconds to play in the third quarter. Well, he opens up 27.20. - They can pretty much take it down, though, about 12 seconds to go before they slap the ball here in the third quarter. - Yeah. And believe me, they know that they're well-versed. - Oh, yeah. - Okay. And here is the give, and the little guy, look at this. He almost got into the end zone, and he knocked down, and it's gonna be spotted at the four. - Whoo! - And they got the first down. - Yeah. - But the clock shouldn't run as soon as they reset the ball, and Liberty shouldn't be in any hurry of snap this. - Yeah. - Let it go to the fourth. - Yeah. The ball's at the right half mark at the four yard line, and Liberty has it first and gold. That's right. First and gold. - You know, they're gonna figure it right. - And the clock is a third. - Well, let's see. They ran up there very quickly. They are not gonna snap that. - Oh, they did. - They did. - Yes, they did. And they got a tight down. - Well, I'm in the booth, I guess. I thought for sure they're gonna carry that to the fourth quarter. - They carried that in. - We was hillyard again. - Yep. Okay. Wow. That's what I thought, Dee. - Well, I think everybody here thought that, and they caught up with like a defense sweep, and then ran up through there, ran up through the line. I can't talk now. But it's up to the line of scrimmage, and hurry up and snap it, and caught him off guard. The next thing you know, he was in the end zone. - Yeah. So, hillyard, gets in from four yards. - I could talk, it'd be better. - Yeah, it's great. - Oh, I'm having the same problem. All right, here comes the two point conversion. - Now, this is huge right here. - Okay. And here is the give. No, the quarterback keeps it, and he's gonna be stopped short. - He kept it, and Cadenville in the 12th. - He kept it right there, beautifully. - Wow. - What a stop by Caden Phillips.

Overnight at 99-WD&E. - What a game. Point after, no good. Elkins remains on top 27-26 as we begin fourth quarter action. - We talked about it. Every point is crucial. - Yes it is. - And now when you literally down one, now that Liberty Defense is going to have to find a way to stop Nick Bowers. On the opposite side, if I'm the Tigers, I'm thinking about maybe chewing up some of this clock as well and trying to put together a long drive underneath some of this clock. You push one in, again on the board, now Liberty's in a world of trouble. - Yes indeed. But I'll tell you what, you can't ask for a better first game of the year. - This is what you want, you know. - This is what you want. You don't want this every week. - If you're a player, you've gone through in the June flex practices, you've been in the weight room since spring, we've gotten through July, you've gotten through most of August, and you finally get here. - Yep, finally. - So, you know, it's, this is what you're trained for right here. Now we're about to see. - Here are these two good looking guys on the fixture. - I don't know, that's what he said. That's pretty handsome if I say so myself. - Oh Lord, I didn't even see you take that. - It is, no I'm good at it, see. - Yeah you are. - I'm back, I told you. - You're back. - I'm here, I'll see you. - Yeah. All right, what a game as we said before. Okay, so now Liberty will kick it off to Elkins, and we'll see what happens here. - Oh, Liberty defense has gotta find a way to shut down Bowers. - Yeah. Look at this, on side again. We've got a follow on it, Elkins. - Oh boy. - Everybody has to put far. - I don't know. It's set about here. - It has to put far. - Oh man. (crowd cheering) - Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. One of our players missed it, didn't follow on it, and all of a sudden Liberty's there to take over. - Well, we talked about those first two jitters and being young, and that was the situation where the offside kick occurred. The defense didn't react at all. They just thought it was okay, and didn't even attempt to follow them until they seen Liberty players out there for the ball, and by that time it's too late. - Yeah, so now Liberty has the ball back again, and this is 11.58 to play in the fourth quarter, first and 10. - Yeah, again. - And Elkins 30. - Yeah. - It's the inside of Elkins territory, starts this drive, and Elkins just came off the field with a long drive from this Liberty offense. - Oh, okay, back to pass, and wow. - Oh, cool. - Incomplete. - Did he throw it? - Didn't throw it. Thought about it, but didn't throw it. - They hit after the play, and that could have gone either way. - Yeah. - Probably a good no call. - Yeah, I think 3%? - Yeah, I don't think it was anything malicious on either side or part of it. He was just trying to make a play, thinking the kid had the ball. - Okay, second and 10 from the Elkins 36, left hash mark, 11 minutes, 55 seconds to play in the ball game, 27, 26 Elkins. - No, that's how your defense is gonna have to dig deep. You just don't have the field for a long time. - Yeah, go on the field. - Now you're back on there again. - Okay, and here is the give. Oh, look at this. Look at this. I don't know where to go this time for Hilliard. It's he's hitting the back field. - Devon Holvers said I got this, boys. - Yep, he sure did. There's a loss on the play of what, 3? - Yeah, 50 lost 3. - So it's gonna bring up, wow, this is interesting. So now it's gonna bring up third down and 13. - Well, Liberty's kinda gotten away from what they normally do. I mean, they tried to come out with a pass on the first play, each other said a little screen pass. - Yeah, yeah. - That failed. - Second play is a loss of three. Now you're looking at third and 12, you know, with not a whole lot in the toolbox as far as the passing game. - All right. Third down back to basketball and pressure coming and it's over from incomplete pass. Now it's gonna be fourth down. Now this will be interesting to see what they do in fourth down, too. - Oh, you get your fourth down, you're in Elkins territory and down one. Here's another thing to think about, 2D. They use those timeouts early in the half. - They did. - So they're down to one timeout and so there's not gonna be a whole lot of time to think about this. - This is an interesting call from AJ Harmon. - It is. - Do you give Elkins the ball at the 38 yard line if you don't get this? Do you punt it and try to pin him inside the five? - Yeah. - What do you do? - Okay, fourth and 12. And they are going to... - They're gonna go. - Yeah, they're gonna go. Maybe a quick kick, you never know. Hey, here's the snap, it's a good one. Going long, they have a man open and it's missed, but a flag on the flag. - Glower, blower, blower. And I think if they call this pass interference, it's not even on the intended receiver. I think it was away from the play. - Oh my goodness. - There was another receiver streaking down the sidelines and I think the Tiger defender made contact. - Yeah. Mm-mm-mm. We talked about every play counts. This is a huge call. - Indeed. And Caden Dodd is injured on that play. Okay, so they're gonna walk off the penalty. - Yeah. - So again, everything happening the way Liberty once it's happened. - No, you had them fourth and 12. - Yeah, fourth and 12, yeah. - That's an appearance. You just gave them an automatic first down. - Yup. Okay, so the ball is going to be on the Elkin 22-yard line first and 10. Mm-mm-mm. 10.59 to play in the ball game. Look at this shotgun again. - Of course. Changing it up. - Yeah. The quarterback's gonna run it this time. And he is up the middle and he has some yard ages. He gets inside the 20-yard line to about the 18. So a nice pick up on the play to the quarterback. And that's gonna bring up second down and about six with 10.43 to play on a turning clock. 27.26 Elkins with the lead. But Liberty again in the red zone. - Coach Harmon's rolling the dice. You just quarterbacked the shotgun. I don't must be scared of a bad snap since you have a 50-yard game. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Same here. - So far so good. - Well, look at this. - They're gonna line up in every move again. - Okay, here's the snap. Quarterback's keeping it this time on the left side. Look, he's got room. He's at the 15, 10, five. - And he's good. - Good. - Watch down Liberty. (crowd cheering) Wow. (laughs) 10-13. - And in belt. Put it in the hands in your quarterback. - Whoo! - Man, I'll throw you a half one. You just let him do the promise line. - Yes, sir. That's one. What was that? 17 yards out? - 17 yards. - Now, they go for two. If they can get this, now it's a seven-point lead again. If they can convert. - Yes. - So again, another big two-point conversion offense. - But they didn't run off as much clock as I thought they were. - They did run. - I mean, they didn't have far to go, but... - They didn't. Okay, now they're back in the stick-eye. To go for the two. And it is good. (crowd cheering) - The big way. - Very big play in C. 34-27 Liberty back after these messages on 98.9 WD&E. - Rich Mountain trading in pawn invites you to the grand reopening next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 5th, 6th, and 7th.

And I'll bet you money to coach where it was yelling, you better get on that ball, boys. Better get on that ball. - You better be aware. And now the problem for Elkins is you're down seven. Number one, number two, this Liberty Crowd is fired up on that back end. And you can see some energy over here on this Liberty sideline that's closest to us. - Yes. - You got that with the heat element to battle in the fourth quarter and you're down seven. - Speaking off from right to left, here it comes. And it's a squibber. It Elkins funbles it, ball on it. Okay, and it's finally picked up by Bowers and he'll get it to the 30-yard line. Another scary moment. - Well, again, you know, we said it all night long. These are two very young teams. You've got a lot of young bodies on the field. - And now we've got some cramps that looks like it. - I'm surprised they're sticking this one. - Yeah, I am too. - I have cramps and I have a move for two hours. - Yeah. - Okay, so we're going to take a 30-second message here on '98, non-WD&E. ♪ Good country, I'm out in the savings every day ♪ - Dog days mean summer savings days at Performance Chevrolet, fabulous rebates, incredible interest rates. Save money, let performance meet all your automotive needs. Two locations, Elkins and Weston. If you save many ways during these dog days, you've been to truck country. ♪ I have performance everyday ♪ (dog barking) - You're listening to coverage of the Elkins Tigers on '98, nine W-T-N-E, Elkins. - Well, the cramps are setting ND with all this heat. We knew it would happen, but I'm surprised it has taken this long. - Pickled juice. You've had it for everything. - You better release it. - Yeah, you better believe it. Okay, we have 10 minutes and five seconds to play in the ball game when we resume. Elkins will have it first and 10 from their own 30 yard line trailing 34-27. And what a first game it's been. And, you know, it could go either way still, but don't forget, next Friday night, Lincoln Cougars come into town to face the Elkins Tigers. 645 pre-game, seven o'clock kickoff, right here on '98, nine W-D&E. - Yes it is, and I'll tell you what, Liberty's in a great position right now. Coach AJ Harmon is coaching one heck of the game. - Oh yeah. - I mean, you know, they're up seven. And now the pressure's off. If Elkins scores, the best they can do is, I mean, well, I mean, they could go for two, but, you know, now you're trying to tie the game up or you're in the same situation. If they go for two and don't get it, now it comes down one, not to mention Liberty gets the ball back and they put together methodical drive, after methodical drive and use tons of tons o'clock. So right now, the pendulum is swinging the mountaineers way. - Yeah. Okay, now again, let's give a shout out to these people. Sunnish carpet, Clayton Holmes of Elkins, Elkins builder supply, performance Chevrolet, Ligget supply, Mountain Valley Bank, Mountaineer home care, Mountain State Structures, Varners, outdoor power equipment, Glochfelty Tire Center, Advanced Hearing Solutions, the Randolph County Solid Waste Authority, Ailer's Automotive and of course Scotty's Restaurant of Elkins. Okay, it looks like the dude got over his cramp and he's coming out of the game. - Oh, look, he's over, he's still hurt. - He's bad, he is, but he-- - He went right back down. - Yeah, okay, yeah. Wow. - I mean, you never want to see anybody get injured. - No. - But if you look at the positives for both teams right now, that's an extra breather that they've gotten, low extra water, kind of gather your-- - Okay, the ball's right in the middle of the field with the 31-yard line of Elkins, first down and 10 for the Tigers. - Can everybody put one together on defense? Can the Tigers put one together on offense? - Good, good question. - In minutes to go. - We'll see. Okay, and here is the handoff and running hard with the football and getting some yardage up to almost the 40-yard line was Dylan Fortney. So Fortney gets his hands on it and he's able to pick up how many, where did they spot her? Okay, they were spotted at the 39. Okay, so the 39-yard line, so that's going to bring up a second down and a long two. - It's far for Elkins. - It is, yeah. All right, second down and two, nine minutes and 38 seconds to play in the ball game. - Earthquakes are there. - Yep, Liberty 34, Elkins 27. And here is the gift and this time it goes to Bowers. Bowers dragging people with him as he gets over to the 45 to about the 46-yard line. So another good pick up there for the Tigers and they'll move the chain. First and 10 as they're getting close to Liberty territory. - They did a great job as he came through the line of putting two hands on the ball because you can see when he pops through there, the Liberty defense is trying to strip that football. - Yes, indeed. - They're going through the strip trying to call the turnover. Very job by Nick with two hands on the ball. You better believe it. Okay, second and two. Here's the snap and again, look at this Bowers. Dragon people with him Bowers are 50, 45, 40, 33, 35, 30. And finally brought down at the 29-yard line. Wow, that's a great run by Nick. - He just keeps those feet going and that's what you're supposed to do. - Absolutely, great run by Nick. Now, the problem with Liberty defense right now is they're standing straight up. And like I just mentioned, they're going for the strip. They're just going to strip the Bowers instead of making the tackle. Nick's 20 yards down the field and they're still trying to strip the ball. - It's something happening on this. - See you. Coach Chard Ware and the visor are at the 50. Talking to the rip. - What's going on? - Oh, it's coming back. These are the solos. - What in the world? I haven't seen anything. There was no flags. But I saw. (chuckles) - Okay. - There's still no signal. - No, we have no idea. But we do know that the ball is spotted at the 44-yard line where now it's going to be first and 15. - Well, we also know the open coaching staff over there is not real happy. - All right, first and 15, 905 to play the ball game. Elk is trailing by touchdown. Long count, here's the snap back. And here comes Bowers again, Bowers at 40, 35. Bowers, 26, 30, and finally knocked out a bounce. I don't see anything happening with that one. - Nope, whatever it was before, Nick just made up for it. - Okay, so Nick runs a clear into Liberty territory and it's going to be spotted at the 33-yard line. Bowers, first and 10 from the Liberty 33, ball at the left hash mark, 851 to play in the ball game. Liberty 34, Elk is 27. - What, Bowers is farting with 200 yards if he's not close already. - Yeah. - So I've got him 177 and that's before the first quarter. - Okay, guys, they're in motion. And here's the give the Bowers again. He's still breaking tackles. Bowers, look at him go. And he takes people with him inside the 25-yard line to about the 23. Man. - I'll tell you what, there you are, a man is running with a purpose. - You better believe it. Wow. So another eight-yard pickup, eight and a half minutes to play in the ball game and listen to the crowd, you can't hear him now. - Yeah, all that cheering went silent. The other's saying, stop 11, stop 11. Somebody stop 11. - Yeah. Okay, second and two, 816 to play. Elkins knocking on the door. Uh-oh, fun ball. And Elkins got it back. Oh my goodness. - Well, I did fall on it, but that was very, very close. - So that's gonna be a loss of a yard on the play. Clock ticking under eight minutes to go. 34, 27, Liberty with the lead. Elkins with the ball at the Liberty. 20, what is it, 24-yard line? - This is the right at the 24. - Okay, 24-yard line on the left hash. - I'll tell you what, we haven't really talked about it, but, you know, coming into the season, Nick needs 10.42 to break the all time. - Right. - Right after here. - Yeah. - At Elkins High School and he's off to a tremendous start. - Indeed. Okay, man goes into the left here. It's a pitch to the left and that's taught again. Bowers. - Oh, definitely, there's a flag. There's a flag. - There's a flag and a fumble. - Oh, wow. - I think they got it back, but let's see what the flag is. - Mm-mm. - 7.21 to play in the ball game and we'll see what happens here. - Yeah, Liberty is, they're gonna live and die, we're trying to strip that football. - Yeah, they are. Yes, indeed. And I'm not gonna say anything because last time I said it, I was totally wrong. Let's see, here comes the call. (laughs) Oh Lord, you gotta respect these dudes. They do a great job. Okay, there's a personal foul. Say, oh, face mask and that's on Liberty. - Ooh, ooh, ooh, that's a big one. - That's a big one and again, 7 minutes, 21 seconds to play in the ball game. Elkins will have it at the, I cannot see it, D. - They are at the 16 yard line, but apparently it was only a five yards incidental face mask, that's all they gave them. - Yeah, okay. So first and 10 from the 12 yard line. Man's in motion and here is the gift and this time, that was not Bowers, I don't think. - That was Bowers. - What? - It did not go on. He took a heck of a shot down there too. - Okay, I wasn't sure if it was Bowers or Fortnay, I couldn't see he got through the holes. - Oh, Fortnay went in motion, Bowers. - Okay. - Right through the three holes. - Okay, and the ball is inside the five, it looks like, right at the four yard line. Second down, second and two, they can still go to first down here, D. - Yes, they can. - Okay, here is Bowers and Bowers, did he get in? - He's about a yard shot. - Okay, well, he's been a work horse in a half tonight. - Well, you know, the offense has changed, there's no doubt about it, but. - Well, the good news is it's gonna be a first down. - So, this Tiger offense was gonna go, his number of living goes. - Yeah, okay, first and goal. And the ball is at the two yard line, I believe. - Yeah, we've got to split it to two. - Okay, six minutes and 14 seconds on a turning clock. - Oh, sorry, four yard line. - Okay, four yard line. And here's the give. - Touchdown. - Touchdown, Elk rain. Now, that Bowers again. - No, I think that was Fortnite. - Fortnite, okay. So, Fortnite course, 605 to play. Now, what happened? - This is the critical moment. You're down one. - They're going to go for two, at least that's what they've shown. Now, they do have the angel on the field, so they're gonna try to tie this thing up. - Yeah. - So, Lucas is gonna attempt this. - Oh, boy. - I think that's a smart decision, because if you go for two and don't get it, you're down one. - Okay, 605 to play in the ball game. And that's good. Here's the kick, and it's not, no good. Wow. So, Liberty will cling to that one point lead. And we'll be back to the kick after these messages on 98.9, 73 to do. - Now, through September 30th, you can get up to $200 back on select good year tires at Glott Fieldie Tire Centering Oakenes.

Network weekdays, 9-3 on 9-8-9 W-D-E. - Well, hang on to your hats. 34-33 Liberty Leading Elkins with six minutes in five seconds to play in the ballgame, and Elkins will kick off the Liberty from left to right. - Speaking of leading, Phillip Barber is up 35-14, never grassing. - Okay. - For another area score, but now this is, that's a big deal. Now, can Liberty put together one of those five or six minute drives. - Yeah. - To keep the ball away from the bowers and the tigers. And the tiger defense stand up and get it for an out. - All right, we'll find out. - The trauma. - Yes, sir. All right, here comes the kick and it's a squibber. And it is picked up at the 15, and the runner at the 25 and down at the 26 yard line. - I think that was no squibber at the 26 yard line. - I know, I think so. - Okay, so first and 10, now for Liberty, five minutes, 58 seconds to play in the ballgame. Liberty 34, Elkins 33, for the game. Yes, sir. And Liberty will start at their own 26 yard line. 27 yard line. What a game. And next week at home against the Lincoln Cougars. If you can come on out and join them, join them. If you can't catch it right here on 98, non-WD&E. - There's nowhere, come on. - All right. - Come on up there. - Dick I, and a big boy gets it, and he's up over to 30, to about the 32 yard line. And that's gonna bring up second down, another, you know, good pickup. - Well, right, right, three and a half yards, that's right, it's gonna be a 3.3, where you wanna be. - And the clock turning, five minutes, from 38 seconds to play in the ballgame. Mm-mm, second down. Second and sixth. And we'll see what happens to him. - Well, the other interesting thing is he's going this time out, on a special time. - I think they're having trouble with hitting the clock going when they're stuck. - Okay, this could be, well, this could be one of those drives where that lack of time out could come into play for Liberty, so. - Yeah. - Now they're down the one. - Okay. Second and sixth, with five minutes to go in the ballgame. 34, 33 Liberty. Your fans getting into it again for Liberty. (audience clapping) - Okay, here is the give, again to the big boy. And he gets over to 35, to about the 36th. - Okay, it's just gonna be a great power between the guard, the football. - And that's gonna bring up a third down and two. - Another gain of four, now right where they wanna be. - Yep. - Third and short. - Mm-mm. - Five down to four minutes and 22 seconds. Again, 34, 33, Liberty with the lead and the football. And they have it at their own 36 yard line, third down and two. - Oh, and they're no hurry. Again, they're gonna run this play clock down as far as they can get it. - Hey, the play clock's already down to five. - They pick up the yard here, so that's a big play. - And the quarterback's keeping it. And he's gonna get the first down, it looks like. So, the quarterback's keeper, first down. And yes, they're doing exactly what they want. - Well, this is their offer. - Yes, it is. - This is Liberty and it's finest. If they're gonna go out before they go in the consolidation, they're gonna go out and play Liberty football, they're the perfect example of what that is. - And the ball, at their own 39 yard line, it's the clock turns three minutes and 50 seconds to play in the ball game. Ball right in the middle of the field. And of course, like you said, they're gonna run that play clock down as far as they can. They know where it's at. They're not coming out of the huddle until at least 10 seconds left. - And they're all, what are they doing? They're looking at that clock. - Absolutely. - And the game clock down to three minutes and 33 seconds. Okay, first and 10. And here is the give to the little guy, and not much there. He didn't get some positive yardage. - He's still, again, yes, another three. - Yep. So they're doing it. - And four. - Yeah, four. Good spot there. It's at the 44 yard line of Liberty and the clock down almost to three minutes, 34, 33 Liberty. And, you know, and the Tigers still have all of their timeouts, I believe. - They've got all those timeouts together, but now they got to pick and choose one to use them. - Yeah, exactly. Second and five. Okay, 249 clock turns. And here is the give and into Elkin's territory for a first down, does that Clevenger again? - Oh, it's Clevenger again. - Clevenger, wow. - That's gonna help the Liberty offense. That does not help the Elkins defense. - No. An Elkins territory ball right in the middle of the field at the Elkins 48 yard line. Two minutes and 39 seconds to play in the ball game. One point game. Man, these bugs. - I'm telling you, it's hot. - Mm-hmm. - There's earthquakes up in here. - And they're getting eaten by bugs. - All right. Now they get up over the ball. The clay clocks down to eight, and the game clocks to 225. There he is again, Clevenger, and not a whole lot this time. He may have gotten three to be lucky. - Let's say Coach, where's that start burning? - Yeah. - Still there's timeouts now. - Yeah, gonna have to. Two minutes and 13 seconds left in the ball game. So, Elkins will use their first time out as the ball's gonna be spotted at the 45 yard line of Elkins. So, we're gonna take a quick 30 second time out on 98 nine WDNE. - All-Care West Virginia is immediately hiring for several counties. If interested, call 681-298-5050.

(upbeat music) - And welcome back to Liberty. Liberty 34, Elkins 33, 217 to play in the ball game, and Liberty has a second down, and we're gonna call it a long seven. - The Tigers are gonna have to dig deep up front. You know the ball's gonna come to number 32. - Yeah. - And number two, or quarterback keeper. You know who's getting the ball. - Yeah. - It's about gap control, it's discipline, and penetration at this point if you're the Tigers and for Liberty, here's gonna keep doing what you're doing. - All right, here we go. And here is the give, this time it's to the little guy. - Hillier, look at him go. And Hillier, it looks like he's very close, if not, to the first down. - Thank you so far. I think he's right past the marker there. Well, he's right at it. - He's right at it, yeah. - Either way, if he's gonna be third. - They said no. Well, wait a minute, now they're gonna measure it. - I'll say it. - Probably a no, Elkins calls Tom out. - Ooh. - Okay, so it is third down with 159 to play in the ball game. The ball is a 30-on yard line of Elkins. Ooh. - It's probably not a bad time out because-- - No, it's not. - It's third inches. - Yeah, but they also have two downs to get it. - All right, they do. But again, if you're a coach, what are you doing in this situation? I mean-- - You're gonna have to throw the house out of you. - You're gonna have to either use them now or you're gonna have to use them later and you're gonna second guess yourself a million times if they didn't go in your favor. - Yeah, call it. - I think that's a good call on his part. And hopefully you can put something together right here to get some penetration. And here you know, you can pop one out right here. - Oh, exactly. Anything can happen. - Oh, we've seen stranger things happen in this game already. - Well, not only that, you're giving your defense a chance to grab some water and get a breath because they've been on the field the second half a long time. So that's a smart time out. Let 'em get a breather. Let 'em cast their breath. Put something together and see if somehow you can possibly stop coming here and definitely right here. - Third down and one from the Elkins. 39 yard line, 159 to play in the ball game. 34-33, Liberty with the lead in the ball. And their crowd is really into this one now. - Listen to the quarterback keeper all the way, I believe. That's the best way to quarterback all the way. Every time he's a quarterback, he's on to his right side. - Yeah, true. - See if it happens again. Yeah, nope, not gonna happen yet because. - Whistles. And that quieted everyone. - Sure did. (laughing) - Okay. - What we got here? - I have no idea. They're talking about it. So they're gonna regroup. Maybe the clock may not have, the play clock may not have started. - I'm just not sure why Liberty's got an opportunity to be huddled though. - Yeah. - Talking about the play clock. - Yeah, somebody's down there just calling that. This is the word. - Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah. All right, third down and one. 1.59 to play in the ball game. - They could play it again, it's right here. - Oh, look at this. - Oh, let's see what they call it. - Yeah, look at this. - It's Liberty Gold. - Oh, look at that. - It's Liberty Gold and it all can go. The way Liberty's looking, it looks like Liberty went. - Liberty definitely went, but who went first? - Who went first? - Exactly. And it is Liberty. - Yes. - Oh my goodness. - So now instead of third and one, it's going to be third and sixth. - What a strange play on both sides. - Yes, sir. And Elka's crowd across from us, but boy, did they start shouting. - Well, it was a good reason. - And it's a decent crowd, also. - Now third inches just turn into third and five. - Yeah. - That changes your whole philosophy of what your play call is going to be. - You better believe it. - All right, here we go. And the big boy's got it. - It's not going to go down. - That's it. - Webinger, as he busts through people and it's going to be at the 35 yard line, first down Liberty at the Elka 35, leading 34-33, 153 to play in the ball game. - What a ball game. Both teams. - Yeah. - These kids are playing their absolute hearts out on both sides. It's been an absolute war. - Man, that's on the first off. - Yeah. - And now I think Coach wears down the one time out, so if you don't get something here, then it's pretty much all she wrote, as far as-- - Yeah. - They clock down now to 136. - It was being in your favor. - Oh, yeah. - Play clock down to two. And they, of course, get it off. But here's a little guy, look at this. And a few close to another first down. - That's a huge non-yard game by who is there. - Still your non-yard ball's going to be at the Elka 21 yard line with 125 until they set the play and then the clock's going to start again. - I hate to say it, but I think that was the dagger. - Could have been. So it's going to be second and one. And timeout is being called with 125 to play in the ball game. And don't forget, next week, the Tigers at home. And the Tigers will play host for the Lincoln Cougars. And you can catch all that on here, right here, on 98, 9WDME. - 645, free game, seven o'clock kickoff. But I'm sure Elka's would much prefer you to be at the field. - We would, too, for this one. - Need to bring that excitement, that atmosphere back. It needs to be wall to wall. It needs to be loud. These kids are working hard, man. - And Elka's brought a pretty good crowd with them tonight. - They did bring your e-crowd. I mean, there's people over there that don't have a dog on the fight. I mean, I'll see people over there whose kids are graduating a couple of years ago. They're still out here supporting the team. And that's what you need. - Oh, yeah. - You're getting that kind of a following on the road. You know, we do the same thing at home. It's also about culture. It's about changing the culture, not only in your program, but your community. And we're starting to see that. - Yeah. - Hi. - All forms. - Second down and one. - Big boy. - Big, big boy. - I bet they were total enough to jump outside of this. - Oh, you better believe. - Our full starter, isn't it? - Okay. And you're exactly right. And here's the big boy. And he's got the first down. So, it's 11 here. Gets the ball to the 24 yard line. So, it's gonna be first in 10. And the clock's at 119 until they shot the ball. And I don't know if Elkis has any more time, Elkis. - Oh. - Or else. - They are out. - Okay. - So, 119 to go. The clock starts. - Like the clock starts. - Take a name and, you know. - Oh, yeah. - If you're gonna lose anybody, you don't mind losing to this team, with the adversity that they face. - Yeah, yeah. - You know, again, this is the last year their existence as far as the school. They had, you know, the tragedy last season. - Yeah. - And they're gonna take a knee. - And they get to take a victory formation. - Good job, yeah. - Yeah, the season. - Victory formation. Congratulations. I mean, this is, and also congratulations to the Tigers. - Absolutely. - Both teams playing their hearts out tonight. - Nobody needs to put their head down. - No, no. - They're good, they're gracious, no. - Okay, and the clock's down now to 35 seconds. So, one more knee and next to do it. - I think it's out of here. - Yep. - Great effort by both teams. What a game. What a game. - Yes. - The same thing, victory formation. That's gonna do it. - Wow. - What a game. First game of the season. Hey, congratulations to both of these coaches. Both of these play, I mean, my goodness. - You couldn't have asked for a better game, dude. - You could know that, like I said, you don't ever wanna lose the game, but if you're gonna lose, you know, a few of those to beat kids, and what they're all there's dealt with, and all there's going through in the adversity. - Yeah. - And you know what, the Tigers, they'll be back. I promise you, next Friday night, you'll be tired of that, they'll be ready to go, and it'll be our time to get that home victory. So, hop on out. We're still shutting down, we're sitting down. - That's right. - Get out here for these boys and support 'em, and let's bring that same energy that the Liberty Cup brought tonight. Okay, final score, 34, 33, Liberty, with the home victory over the Elken Tigers, and we'll be back after these messages on 98-9 WDNA. - Are you in need of top quality building products for your next project?

And we do have a few interesting things that Domania wants to talk to you about. - Well, I won't give you the actual stats, since we missed a little bit at the beginning, but kudos to these players on both teams. - Oh, yeah. - A very, very balanced running attack from Liberty. I mean, they had three guys and putting the quarterback out there, have fun, Quentin Hilliard and Landon Clevinger that were way over 70 yards apiece. Not to mention, put the ball in the end zone quite a few times as well. And then you look at the Elkins side of things. I had Nick Bauer somewhere around 195 yards, and that's just what I tracked. I'm pretty sure he was over the 200 marks, so he hit the 200 mark, you know, for the first game of the season, which is a huge number. - Oh, yeah. - You know, Kayden Phillips came out and had two touchdowns early in that first quarter. So there's a lot of positives there. I mean, it's a new offense, you gotta get used to it. It's a new philosophy. You know, the running attack was definitely there. We didn't throw a pass, but I'm sure we'll start to see that, you know, down the road a little bit. But, you know, kudos to both teams for what they did, offensively, you know, and just the atmosphere and the nerves and everything else, you know. - And, you know, both young teams too. I mean-- - Very young, that's very young. And unfortunately for Liberty, this will be their last season. But, you know, for the Tigers, there's a lot to build on. I mean, there's a lot of enthusiasm. There's a lot of good things happening. So anyhow, you want to see the good things happen? Why don't you come on to Elkins Stadium next Friday night where Elkins and Lincoln will battle 745-- Oh, 745. 645, pregame, 7 o'clock will be the kickoff. And we thank you for listening to us.
