Net Neutrality
By: Todd Stewart

It is a very sad day as we have just lost net neutrality yesterday. Net neutrality was where the FCC had everything on the internet equal and everyone had an equal opportunity to put whatever they wanted on the internet. However the FCC chairman Ajit Pai and the FCC voted that this equality was unnecessary. However it is a tad bit strange that the chairman had a say when he worked for Verizon as a lawyer. Since we lost net neutrality big companies will monopolize the industry and no one will have a fair chance to put their content out on the internet. Companies like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and multiple others can decide who gets fast and slow internet speeds. What commercials will go in and basically what can be put on your phone and tv. They can put up ads and commercials to the highest bidder. But when we had net neutrality everyone could have a fair shot. Also without net neutrality most likely we will have to buy social media, texting and calling, etc on top of our data which is ridiculous. Basically without net neutrality the internet will forever be changed.

BL v St.Clairsville
By: Todd Stewart

3 days ago BL Men’s Soccer came to an end in a sectional game against St.Clairsville. It was a heartbreaking loss of 3-2 that led BL to lose. Both teams worked very hard. However BL sadly didn’t get the finish they wanted. They did very well for a young team season round.

BL Powder Puff
By: Todd Stewart

Once every school year we here at Beaver Local have a powder puff game between the junior and senior girls. Normally every year the seniors take the win, but this year it came to a draw! It came to a very close tie as the juniors were very close to winning the game with a second touchdown! One of the highlights of the game was when cheerleader Josh Littleton stole something of the juniors! Kameron Griggs from the juniors team was in pursuit of the theft but went back to the juniors empty handed.
