• Ravenswood Football: Red Devils fall in season opener to Williamstown (wvnews.com) — Ravenswood fans saw the Red Devils drop their 2026 home opener at Spano-Taylor Stadium, falling 46-7 to powerhouse Williamstown. Despite the lopsided score, coach Matt Peery praised standout efforts from players like quarterback Owen Curtis and receiver-defender Jakob Simmons, and says the team is healthy, learning, and turning its focus to this week's rivalry Hatchet game with Ripley. 
• Ravenswood man catches state record breaking blue catfish (wtap.com) — A Ravenswood fisherman just landed a place in the record books, reeling in a 72.75‑pound blue catfish on the Ohio River during a spontaneous evening trip with his father and son. Tyler Harmon's catch, now confirmed as a new West Virginia state record, has drawn huge attention online while giving three generations of his Ravenswood family a shared memory they say matters even more than the fish.
