Marshall vs App State: The show must go on

Marshall is deep into its homecoming week, and, with game day quickly approaching, many fans are wondering about the condition of the opposing team, Appalachian State University.

App State, located in Boone, North Carolina, suffered heavy damage during last week’s storm. Category four Hurricane Helene ripped through the country’s southeast region, including areas of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolina’s that were left upturned.

The team’s most recent scheduled game against Liberty University was canceled due to Helene.

App State students received an email yesterday, Oct. 2, announcing that all in-person classes are canceled and will not resume any earlier than Oct.
