JMU INF Cali Legzdin is going in the transfer portal when it opens up. 2nd Team All-Sun Belt in 2026, she was .338 hitter, 17 HRs, 63 RBI, 1.015 OPS in her two seasons at JMU

I tried to tell you all about the Stuarts Draft softball team! Here's what I had to say about the Cougars a few weeks back on Sports Xtra. They're a team to watch going into next week's Region 2B Tournament. They defeated Buffalo Gap Wednesday to sweep the season series.

It's not so sunny in the Sun Belt Conference for football. Why entering 2026, I believe the conference handicaps JMU's (or any SBC program's) aspirations of reaching the CFP as the G5 program. Our full explanation + more on the latest WHSV Sports Xtra: tinyurl.com/4ry4fdet

Asked Ben Spotts this week about playing in a challenging conference like the ODAC and how that helps going to NCAA Regional play: "If you can win in our league and be successful in our league, you can prepare yourself for postseason play." @BwaterBaseball @BCAthletics

Strong pickup for the Dukes. Johnson also played alongside Preston Fowler at Brewster Academy back in 2023. Last season at Hampton, the sophomore averaged 10 PPG while finishing with the second best defensive win share and third best defensive rating for the Pirates.

That feeling when you sign your first NFL contract

The selection committee tabbed Pendleton County's Chase Owens as this year's Student Athlete of the Year! 🔗 tinyurl.com/yny24yfx

Mom's are the best!!! Fitting that this year's Charlie Obaugh Auto Group Student Athlete of the Week banquet falls on Mother’s Day weekend — because the support from moms (and dads) plays such a huge role in helping these 35 student-athletes succeed!

Terrific win for the Dukes who advance to take on Northwestern in the second round.
