INSTITUTE, West Virginia -- It's been a year of new beginnings at West Virginia State.New athletic facilities are popping up around the Institute campus, the school's sports teams are ready to set sail with the fledgling Mountain East Conference and the football program sports a new coach.
The Yellow Jackets just hope the changes don't stop there.
West Virginia State has posted only two winning records in football since 1992, and has gone 3-28 combined the past three seasons.
Incoming coach Jon Anderson, 36, who worked with an NAIA powerhouse program in Sioux Falls (S.D.), looks to complete the metamorphosis at State.
"The vision that was sold to me throughout the interview process,'' Anderson said, "was that what had been done here wasn't good enough, and that was obvious through the records. But there has been administrative support and significant investment not only in football, but in all athletics that made this a very attractive job for me and for my family and for the assistant coaches who have come here with us as well.''
