After a record-breaking performance last Friday night, the Twin Valley Panthers are happy to be back in Oakwood tonight.
Much to the dismay of the Panthers, they were on the wrong end of a record-breaking performance.
In last week’s 50-16 loss to Grundy, the Panthers allowed Golden Wave tailback Gabe Fiser rush for 368 yards and six touchdowns.
At the end of the day, the Wave outmanned the Panthers. However, there were bright spots for Twin Valley.… Read the rest Twin Valley, East Ridge, KY, set for Thursday night football

The epicenter for the largest upset in the Commonwealth of Virginia was in Oakwood last Friday night.
The Twin Valley Panthers sat at 3-1 and were ready to play host to a Craig County Rockets team that had lost 30 consecutive football games.
A win over Craig County would move the Panthers to their best start in school history with a 4-1 record.
After being so dominant against Northwood a week earlier in a 52-30 victory, how could Twin Valley let the Rockets squeak through the cracks?…

In a Battle of the Panthers, the storyline coming away from Oakwood was about a bearded tailback from Twin Valley.
Folks on the other side of the Dismal River thought a coal truck was putting in an extra shift ahead of Hurricane Florence.
However, the only rumbling in Buchanan County last Thursday was Twin Valley tailback Brandon Lester.
The senior tailback ran the ball 22 times for 195 yards and five touchdowns in Twin Valley’s matchup with Northwood.… 
Tonight, the Richlands Blue Tornado (1-2) look to end their two game losing skid as they travel to Vinton to take on the undefeated William Byrd Terriers (4-0) at Robert A. Patterson Stadium.
The Blues are coming off a 49-17 loss at the hands of the Blacksburg Bruins last week. Due to Hurricane Florence threatening, the game was moved up to Thursday and even had a change of venue. The newly installed turf at Evans King Field in Christiansburg held host to the Tornado and the Bruins.…

Luckily for Hubbard, his Tigers will get a chance to do just that in the CoalfieldSports.com Game of the Week as Honaker travels to Grundy.
“I expect them to be ready to play. I expect both teams to be ready. I think it’s gonna be a great atmosphere,” Hubbard said Wednesday.…

After a two game skid, the Hurley Rebels retreated home to Smiley Ratliff Field at The Cliff with hopes to return to the win column.
Much to the liking of the Rebels faithful, Hurley opened their home slate with a 16-6 victory over the RiverView Raiders last Thursday.
This game, as many throughout the region, was pushed up a day in order to say ahead of the expected weather of Hurricane Florence.… 
Was that Brandon Lester or a coal truck barreling through Oakwood last Thursday?
If you ask Chris Duble and the Northwood Panthers, they would vouch that Lester and coal truck are synonyms.
In a 52-30 Twin Valley victory, Lester could not have performed at a higher level. The senior tailback scored 38 of Twin Valley’s 52 points a week ago. The stat line was one that you may have read on your NCAA Football video game on your Heisman campaign in 2013.…
