Teaching respect at its best

Outstanding!

I am a nephew of the late Anthony Cox who was honored at the St. Marys Alumni Invitational. Our family was flooded with memories and emotions as we listened to Anthony's accomplishments. Anthony beat a wrestler from Wirt County in the championship match to claim the state title. For Wirt County coaches and wrestlers to be the first team to pay their respects shows that their program is a class act. Thank you to the Wirt County Tigers and the other schools in attendance that paid tribute to Anthony. (Doddridge, South, Ravenswood, Buffalo, Huntington, Tyler, Sissonville, Clay Battelle, Forte Fry OH., Liberty Harrison, East Fairon, Wahama and St. Marys.) Thank you to St. Marys coaching staff for the great tribute to Anthony D. Cox 1987 State Champion.

I was standing next to the Wirt team when they went up. That program has impressed me to no end since I first started coaching in WV last season. What a great bunch of respectful, hard working young athletes.
