Riders off to state tournament
CHARLESTON — Seven in a row and five out of six. The Weir High boys basketball team hasn’t lost a game since Jan. 28 and, because of that, it will make its fifth trip to the West Virginia Class AA State Tournament in the last six seasons. The 18-3 Red Riders are on a seven-game winning streak and will take on Sissonville, winners of 16 in a row, at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Charleston Civic Center. “The biggest thing we have heard talking with other coaches is they have a solid starting five with excellent sixth- and seventh-men,” said Weir High coach Mike Granato. The Indians are in the state tournament for the first time since 1982. They are 19-4. “I don’t care who you play, 16 in a row is 16 in a row,” said Granato. The Red Riders lost in the quarterfinals in their last two trips to Charleston. “You’re never going to be happy unless you come home with a state championship,” Granato said.
