Huggins agrees to extension

West Virginia’s Bob Huggins has agreed to a two-year contract extension that includes the option for him to step aside or continue coaching after the 2023-24 season.

Under the agreement announced Friday, Huggins, who turns 68 next month, will earn $4.15 million in each of the next three seasons.

Huggins earned his 900th coaching victory

Starting with the 2024-25 season, Huggins can choose to assume an appointment of at least two years in public relations and development along with other duties within the athletic department if he is no longer the coach. That status will be determined by an annual mutual agreement between Huggins and the athletic director before May of each year. If Huggins continues to coach beyond June 2027, he will have a minimum of two fiscal years of post-coaching status.

His base salary in the post-coaching arrangement will be $50,000 per year plus deferred compensation from the previous agreement.

“I certainly appreciate the opportunity that I’ve been given to represent this great university and state that I love so much,” Huggins said.

Rohanna slips in final round

Rachel Rohanna was unable to build on three birdies and an eagle in Sunday’s final round of the Circling Raven Championship presented by KXLY 4 News Now, closing the tournament with an even-par 72.

The Waynesburg Central graduate started the final round in 44th place, but slid into a tie for 55th place with a three-round score of 3-under 213.

Rohanna’s best round was Friday’s 3-under 69. She followed with an even-par 72 in the second round.

Rohanna fell to even for the tournament after two bogeys, a double bogey and birdie in her first 10 holes.

After a couple pars, Rohanna sandwiched two birdies around an eagle to pull to 4-under for the tournament and 1-under for the round.

However, she dropped a stroke with a bogey on No. 17.
