There's not a lot to do in West Virginia but dodgeball simply wasn't exciting enough:
(WVAH-TV) West Virginia State Police said a middle school student was shot and killed Saturday night with a bow and arrow while playing a game.
First Sgt. B.E. Guthrie said the 15-year-old victim was in a group of three to four kids who were playing a game with a bow and arrow in the town of Manila, just outside of Chapmanville, when the victim was accidentally shot in the head. The cause is believed to be accidental, but it is still under investigation.
State Police said Caleb Fairchild, 15, was playing dodging arrows with a group of three teens in in the yard of a home near the Boone/Logan line Saturday night. An arrow struck Fairchild in the head and killed him.
Fairchild was an eighth-grader at Chapmanville Middle School, where there are counselors and a pastor on site Monday talking with students.
State Police said they believe the incident was an accident, but said the juvenile could still be charged. Involuntary manslaughter is a misdemeanor offense.

Cy thought it was the cost of playing Dodgearrows. If you're hit, you're out, just like dodgeball.

That should be the lead in for all WV news.
