WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — (January 6, 2025): One of the most anticipated high school basketball events of the season will return to The Greenbrier later this month, and advance tickets are now on sale. Since its beginnings in 2022, the Battle for the Springhouse at America’s Resort has brought the best girls and boys basketball teams from across West Virginia inside the resort’s largest ballroom, Colonial Hall, for two days filled with exciting basketball. The ballroom recently hosted the inaugural Greenbrier Tip-Off, with college basketball teams from power conferences. This year, The Battle for the Springhouse has gone across the state’s borders, adding a talented Virginia squad to the intriguing mix of teams competing for the Springhouse Trophy January 31 and February 1. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by visiting Greenbrier.com/Springhouse. Tickets are sold on a game-by-game basis and are $5 for each contest. The arena will be cleared at the conclusion of each game. Past games have sold out, so advanced purchase is recommended. The Battle for the Springhouse offers experiences that cannot be found at other tournaments. Players and coaches will not only have the opportunity to face a high level of competition, but they will also learn about the incredible legacy of America's Resort, sample the world-class cuisine and experience the incomparable accommodations. The Greenbrier invests in the future of the participating student-athletes by providing an unforgettable experience that they will remember for a lifetime. It also awards one player from each participating team with a scholarship to be used toward his or her future education. One of the event’s premier partners, GameChanger, will once again be a major part of the weekend, educating the student-athletes about the dangers of substance misuse and the value of a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Every game will be broadcast live by MetroNews Television, in association with Video Productions, with experienced announcers and high-quality video. MetroNews Television can be found on Roku, iPhone, Apple TV, fireTV and other streaming platforms, as well as online at wvmetronewstv.com, providing maximum exposure to both athletes and sponsors.

On January 6, 2025, Congress officially certified Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, confirming his return to the White House. This marks Trump’s second term after his initial presidency from 2017 to 2021, making him the second president in U.S. history, after Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms. The certification process proceeded without significant controversy, a stark contrast to the events of January 6, 2021. Enhanced security measures ensured a peaceful session despite winter weather conditions in Washington, D.C. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the proceedings in her constitutional role, formally announcing the results of the Electoral College. Harris, who had run as the Democratic nominee against Trump, underscored the importance of democratic principles in her remarks. Trump is set to be inaugurated on January 20, 2025. His return signals a new chapter in American politics, as his administration prepares to take office.
