GIRLS' SOCCER PREVIEW: Morgantown High has eyes set on returning to state tournament
MORGANTOWN — The Morgantown High girls' soccer team has established itself as one of the top programs in the state in recent years, with back-to-back state championships in 2022 and 2023, and multiple players being honored with player of the year awards and all-state recognition. Some of the most impactful players to ever put on the jersey have been recent graduates of MHS in the past three to four years, such as Gracie Brown, Ariana Borneo, and Lilly Staples, just to name a few. Despite the loss of some key players in recent years, the Mohigans are focused on what's in front of them entering the third season under head coach Bri Frontuto as the 2025 season approaches. 'We have a lot of versatility and strong pieces this year,' Frontuto said. 'There are some new faces and young talent. I'm most excited that we will have a JV for the first time in my tenure and in quite some time for the program. The focus is on the here and now. I will always value the players that come through and build the foundation of this program, but that is the natural progression of things. I don't see a point in dwelling on it. With that being said, I think a lot fewer eyes are on us this year, and we get to just put our heads down and work and surprise a lot of people.' She says seeing consistent growth has been something massive for the program in her years as head coach so far. 'I think any coach that feels 100% comfortable coming into the season isn't doing their job right,' she said. 'There are always things to be improved, and looking to change and make things better. This year, the preparation has been more intense, and getting our numbers up has been an enormous shift in the right direction.' MHS finished last season 17-3-2, falling to George Washington in the Class AAA semifinals in a penalty kick shootout. While the loss of Borneo and Staples will be felt, MHS returns leading goal-scorer Ella Miller, who scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists last season. The youngest Brown, Gabbie, sister of Sammie and Gracie, who both played at MHS, and daughter of current WVU women's soccer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, will also return for the Mohigans. 'Ella is on a mission,' Frontuto said. 'I won't spoil it for everyone, but I think you'll see pretty quickly where she is headed and what she wants to do this season. She has put in the work. She isn't letting anything or anyone get in her way. If she isn't already on teams' radar, she will be quickly.' MHS will open its season on the road against Weir on Wednesday, August 20, at 6:00 p.m. The Mohigans will play their home-opener on Tuesday, August 26, at 8:00 p.m. with Lincoln visiting Pony Lewis Field. 'I try to get some new teams each year and see different sides,' Frontuto said of the schedule. 'I wanted to build in more time to grow as a team and benefit from training and load at the right times. I like to ramp up the end and get ready for the playoffs. I think I was ahead of the curve with the classification switch because I already had Eastern Panhandle teams built in. I remember going to states my first season and being nervous. I had no film or any idea of what came out of the Eastern Panhandle, and since then, I have been intentional about being prepared on that front and paying attention to games statewide.' UNIVERSITY HIGH KEY PLAYERS: Mairin Gillespie (Sr.), Avery Alexander (Jr.), Sydney Blohm (So.) OPENING MATCHES: Aug. 20 at Lewis County, Aug. 23 at Brooke, Aug. 26 at Parkersburg South PRESTON HIGH KEY PLAYERS: Ava Turner (So.), Kylie Ross (Sr.), Zoe Fasouletos (So.) OPENING MATCHES: Aug. 22 at Berkeley Springs, Aug. 25 vs. Uniontown (Pa.), Aug, 25 at Keyser

Matthew Boyd Speaks on Cubs Struggling Offense: 'Best Lineup in Baseball'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Chicago Cubs have struggled to score runs consistently, and it's leading to their slide in the standings. The team is hopeful Saturday night's nine-run performance against St. Louis will create a spark, but starting pitcher Matthew Boyd trusts in his teammates and delivered strong praise heading into the final six weeks of the regular season. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - AUGUST 8: Matthew Boyd #16 of the Chicago Cubs pitches against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first inning at Busch Stadium on August 8, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - AUGUST 8: Matthew Boyd #16 of the Chicago Cubs pitches against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first inning at Busch Stadium on August 8, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri."I think we got the best lineup in baseball," Boyd told Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic after Friday's game. "Through 162 games, stretches of all sorts of things will pop up. We know who we are as a ballclub. We know what we can do and what we're capable of. We're one of the best teams in the National League. Stuff happens. The best part about baseball, like Ryne Sandberg would say, is you get to show up tomorrow." Chicago certainly has some talented bats in the lineup such as young phenom Pete Crow-Armstrong as well as Kyle Tucker. However, the team as a whole did not hit well in the month of July after the All-Star break heading into the month of August. The Milwaukee Brewers are on a major hot streak right now, so the bats have to get going for the Cubs if they want any chance of closing the gap in the National League Central standings. In Saturday night's game, the Cubs had seven hits that drove in their nine runs. Of those seven hits, five of them were hit 100 mph or harder. That's the kind of exit velocity the Cubs need to produce to score runs the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs.
