Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia

So I feel like I'm okay to not like step on anybody's, uh, uh, roses right now.

Um, in, in like the Southeast Pennsylvania, Eastern panhandle, or excuse me, Southwestern Pennsylvania, uh, Eastern panhandle, West Virginia, there used to be this weird bubble of people who were like, well, you know, I know I can't be on an event yet.

I've been training for a while, but until I get my national certification and I'm like, there isn't a national certification.

What are you talking about?

But since we've gone on the air in the fourth quarter, University High has scored a touchdown on the road.

It's now 34-29, University leading Spring Mills in the fourth quarter in a really good game out in the eastern panhandle.

Back to finals on week number 8, Point Pleasant drops to 3 and 5.

The Big Blacks falling to the Tigers of Marietta, Ohio, 41-14.

The Mountain Lions have a two touchdown lead at home in the fourth quarter, Tucker County leading Southern Garrett, Maryland, 20 to 6.

And University has held on to stay unbeaten.

They went to the Eastern Panhandle for the second time in week, in s- in two consecutive weeks, and they beat Spring Mills 34 to 29.

That was a heck of a ballgame.

Our next guest, Republican Congressman Riley Moore, running for a second term against Democrat Ace Parsey in West Virginia's 2nd district.

This is 27 counties across northern West Virginia, from Wheeling and Parkersburg to Morgantown, Clarksburg, and the Eastern Panhandle, including Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry.

Solid Trump country, and I wanna know what's going on with the working-class voters who live there, and Congressman Riley Moore, we welcome you back to The Scott Jennings Show.

Hey, Scott.

Um, I mentioned in the 3:00 hour, we've got the top four teams in the power index in Quad A are all on the road this week.

Uh, Martinsburg is at Washington in the Eastern Panhandle.

GW will be at Huntington.

University at Spring Mills in Morgantown will play at Parkersburg South.

Cabell Midland has lost only the one time, uh, and they have a big game coming up certainly still with Huntington.

So I, I just think, I think that is a game that, uh, certainly Cabell Midland Coach Petty will have to have his crew ready for.

So let's talk a little bit about Martinsburg and Washington over in the Eastern Panhandle.

Um, h- how impressive was Martinsburg's win at Morgantown last weekend, and do you make them ...

And when there's a tree down or a power line down, or that, you know, there's a lot of other things that, that we've just added on over the years, besides putting out your neighbor's house when it's on fire, that, um, maybe we need to look at, or maybe, you know, maybe we need to look, tweak the model a little bit on, on how things are done like that.

They're doing some of that out in the Eastern panhandle.

Um, they're experimenting with, uh, having county paid firefighters run during the day to back up the local volunteers because so many of the volunteers work out of their area.

They work in D.C. or Northern Virginia or wherever.

All right.

Here's Todd from over in Hedgesville in the Eastern Panhandle.

He says, "Chef Paul, I love acorn squash, but only prepare it in one way.

Split it in half, baked with some butter and brown sugar."

No, I think they do.

And I think when you go on the road, now going back to the Eastern Panhandle next week to take on Spring Mills, another opportunity for UHS to keep that going.

And then after Spring Mills, you've got Preston, an improving team.

And then, of course, you wrap this thing up with the Mohawk Bowl.

All right, you're undefeated 6-0, making the stretch run now.

You say some things have to be cleaned up.

In your mind, on that drive back to the eastern panhandle, what's one of the things that you'd love to see cleaned up before you hit the gridiron again? I

mean, we're committing way too many penalties.
