CHARLESTON Gov. Jim Justice stood by statements made over the weekend that he would not veto a bill aimed at transgender student-athletes wishing to play women’s sports even as the NCAA made clear it would avoid states that discriminate.
Speaking Wednesday during his COVID-19 virtual briefing at the Capitol, Justice said he would either sign House Bill 3293, relating to single-sex participation in interscholastic athletic events, or let the bill become law without his signature.

Michael Jok’s journey from the South East has led him close to the top of US junior college basketball ranks.
The former RedRoo Sports player from Pakenham has led Dawson Community College to its its first-ever invitation to the National Junior College Athletic Association division 1 championship tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas from April 19-24.
Their place at the NJCAA dance was earned with the college’s first regional championship in more than 60 years.
On the back of Jok’s 14 points and 9 boards, Dawson Buccaneers withstood a late rally from Indian Hills Community College in a thrilling 68-67 victory.
“Being in the (NJCAA) tournament means everything to us and the community,” Jok said.
