Class AAA
December 2, 2007 - The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register
Nearly everyone, at some point in their lives, has found themselves face-to-face with a bully. The kid on the block who’s bigger and stronger than everyone else and knows it.
He beats and beats on you, trying to take your will. But at some point, regardless of the outcome, you have to stand up and fight to gain respect.

For 'the Kids,' Wheeling a Winner
November 7, 2007 - The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register
Wheeling is not the only city in West Virginia capable of hosting the annual “Super Six” high school football championship games. Other communities have excellent playing fields. Other areas have plenty of resources to handle the games. Yet, for 14 years, Wheeling has been home to the “Super Six.”

Anyone can win Class AAA prep football race
October 23, 2007 - Charleston Daily Mail
It's hard to remember a recent year in which the Class AAA football championship was as up for grabs as it appears to be this season. With the playoffs a little more than two weeks away, the state's biggest class has yet to produce a true favorite. There are, rather, more than 10 teams that can stake some kind of legitimate claim that says they're going to reach the Super Six in Wheeling on Nov. 1. |

November 6, 2007 - The Intelligencer & Wheeling News-Register
Gary Ray can do little but smile when he visits Wheeling. As executive director of the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission, Ray knows a good thing for his agency when he sees it — and the good thing that has come out of Wheeling over the past 14 years is how the city has changed the face of high school sports with its handling of the Super Six state high school football championships.
