To thank the supporters of the Mountaineer Athletic Club, donors of all levels were invited to attend a presentation Saturday morning by several head coaches, new Assoc. A.D. Keli Cunningham and new Athletic Director Oliver Luck. The presentation was followed by the final football scrimmage of fall camp before the beginning of classes on Monday. The offense had the upper hand early, but the defense clamped it down during the second half of action. Here are some photos:
