A big thank you to Wendy’s for supporting West Side Middle School. Partnerships like this make a real impact, helping us celebrate student achievement through our Level Up events. Your generosity—from sweet treats to savory snacks—continues to support our Pack.

UNC's 1-12 record vs. Quad 1 is the worst for any at-large NCAA Tournament team. Will this set a precedent for future Selection Sundays? UNC over West Virginia in NCAA Tournament may be by-the-book, but it's miserable look usatoday.com/story/sports/co… via @usatoday

Football Guys, this is š‘©š‘¬š‘ŗš‘» thing you'll see today. @WVUfootball & Senior Bowler Zach Frazier, arguably top center prospect in this year's draft, broke his leg on final drive vs. Baylor. Instead of laying on the field in excruciating pain like most would, @zfrazier54 found a way to get to sideline so his team would avoid critical 10-second runoff. Mountaineers wound up scoring go-ahead TD with 0:23 to win 34-31. Great teammate. All about winning. Tough as nails. Every OL Coach in NFL will be pounding table in April to get Frazier in their room. #TheDraftStartsInMOBILEā„¢ļø
5⃣4⃣ left it š™–š™”š™” on the field & showed the world what it means to be a Mountaineer 🫔 Selfless. Tough. Devoted. @zfrazier54 | #HailWV
