Kennedy Lewis Gains Majority Control of The Greenbrier in $500 Million Deal

Kennedy Lewis Investment Management closes a $500 million joint venture that gives it 51% control of The Greenbrier, while the Justice family retains governance through a five-member board chaired by a Kennedy Lewis appointee; a new holding structure, Greenbrier TopCo, will own the assets and fund long-term upgrades as the resort and its casino continue operating during the transition, with West Virginia Lottery review and ongoing creditor litigation still in play.

Record Floods Trigger Mass Rescues Across Upshur County, WV

Over 3 inches of rain fell Tuesday into Wednesday, pushing rivers and streams to unprecedented heights in central West Virginia. In Upshur County, swift-water rescues are ongoing as water covers roads, closes I-79 and US-33, and overwhelms response networks. The Sand Run stream in Buckhannon cresting at 10.63 feet—well above major flood stage—has marked a historic flood. Power outages affect more than 22,000 customers; emergency lines are down in some areas. Gov. Morrisey declared a state of emergency for all 55 counties; residents are urged to stay off flooded roads and seek higher ground as responders report numerous rescues from homes, attics, and vehicles and widespread infrastructure damage.

Justice pushes federal protection for women's sports after Supreme Court rulings

Sen. Jim Justice, who signed West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act, says the Supreme Court's rulings upholding state limits on transgender athletes validate WV’s approach and urges Congress to enact nationwide protections for girls' and women's sports. He has cosponsored Sen. Tuberville's S.9 and pressed the NCAA for answers, arguing it’s common sense to keep women's sports for women. The court’s decisions reaffirm existing state laws but did not set a national standard, leaving Justice and others pushing for federal legislation as California and Maine face related lawsuits.

Tar Heels Ride Hot Offense to Championship Hope After 12-7 WVU Win

UNC knocked off West Virginia 12-7 to reach the national championship series for the first time since 2007, fueled by 16 hits and a red‑hot trio in the 2–4 spots (Owen Hull, Gavin Gallaher, Erik Paulsen) who went 11-for-15 with seven RBIs and six runs. A lineup shake‑up and aggressive baserunning helped set the tone early, while Folger Boaz started and Jackson Rose worked 4.1 scoreless innings before Caden Glauber finished it. WVU’s Armani Guzman sparked a five-run seventh that kept the game tense, but UNC rode the surge to set up a title showdown after awaiting the Georgia‑Oklahoma result.

WVU Reaches Omaha as Mountaineers Climb in College World Series Odds

West Virginia earned its first-ever College World Series berth with dominant super regional wins over Cal Poly, then landed the fourth-best title odds ( +700 ) among 13 remaining teams behind Texas, Georgia and North Carolina. They open against Troy in Omaha and would face a double-elimination path where they’d need to be beaten twice to exit, with the bracket likely shaping a favorable route if they advance. Odds have climbed from +5500 pre-tournament to +1000 after the regional win and to +700 after the super regional sweep.
