MARTINSBURG -- Eighth-grader Shaan Sood left the Oct. 9 meeting he attended as an honorary Berkeley County commissioner with a desire to take on his gym teacher in a game of one-on-one.

Sood, 13, of Falling Waters, plays basketball for Saint Joseph School. He was asked by Commission President Eddie Gochenour if he thought he could beat his gym teacher - Gochenour’s daughter-in-law, Meghan Gochenour - in basketball. Sood gave a subtle nod of “yes,” but later admitted he had never challenged her to a game, so one might have to be played soon to see if his guess is accurate.
