MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The following are the top sports stories in WVU, Marshall, Division II and High School Sports for 2022. This is the second of a two-part series. Stories No. 20-11 were released last Saturday.

#10 – Herbert Hoover extends state title streak to five years

A loss to open the 2022 Class AA state softball tournament did not deter Herbert Hoover. The Huskies won four straight elimination games to claim their fifth straight state title. Herbert Hoover defeated Winfield 7-1 and 21-3 in the championship round after knocking off Shady Spring and Oak Glen to reach the finals.

Herbert Hoover (25-4) became the third team in state history to win five straight softball championships, joining Buffalo (2011-2015) and Hurricane (2015-2019).

#9 – Basketball Singers = State Championships

All 32 minutes were required to name a pair of state basketball champions. Maci Neelys steals a layup pass and triples at the buzzer led Cameron to a 53-50 win over Gilmer County in the Class A final.

#8 – Hurricane ends Bridgeport’s seven-year title run

An unprecedented streak of championships ended in dramatic fashion in the Class AAA Baseball semifinals. Hurricane defeated Bridgeport, 3-2 in nine innings to deny the Indians’ continued pursuit of an eight-consecutive state title. A day later, the Redskins defeated MSAC rival George Washington to secure the Class AAA championship.

#7 – Joe Mazzulla takes the top spot with the Boston Celtics

At age 34, former WVU guard Joe Mazzulla leads one of the premier franchises in American professional sports. Weeks before the regular season starts, Mazzulla was named interim head coach of the Boston Celtics. The Rhode Island native replaced Ime Udoka, who was suspended for the 2022-2023 season.

In his first month on the job, Mazzulla was named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Coach of the Month after guiding the Celtics to an 18-4 record.

#6 – Marshall football wins at Notre Dame, moves into ‘Fun Belt’

Five months after Marshall announced his intention to leave Conference USA for the Sun Belt Conference, the two leagues agreed to allow the Thundering Herd, Old Dominion and Southern Mississippi to join the Sun Belt in time for the 2022-2023 school year. That agreement came at the end of March.

Charles Huff posted the signature win of his Marshall tenure in the second week of the season with a 26-21 win at No. 8 Notre Dame. The Thundering Herd finished Huff’s sophomore season with a 9-4 record after defeating UConn in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.

#5 – Under new leadership

Both of the state’s Division I programs welcomed new athletic directors under very different circumstances this year. On February 21, former Pittsburgh vice athletic director Christian Spears was selected to lead the Thundering Herd of Marshall. Spears entered the department in the final stages of Marshall’s transition from Conference USA to the Sun Belt Conference. Spears replaced Jeff O’Malley, who served as interim athletic director during the transition.

West Virginia University parted ways with Shane Lyons in November and named Wren Baker the department’s 13th athletic director in December. Baker held the same position at the University of North Texas.

Lyons had been WVU’s athletic director since 2015.

#4 – Redemption Tours

Three high school football teams and three high school basketball teams captured state titles after falling in the championship games a year earlier. Williamstown, Independence and Huntington won Super Six football championships after losing in the 2021 title games.

The Morgantown boys, Poca boys and Parkersburg Catholic girls also won state championships in March after finishing as runners-up in 2021.

#3 – Neal Brown is staying for the 2023 season

With just one winning season in four years as WVU’s head coach, Neal Brown’s job status was a dominant storyline for much of the 2022 season. West Virginia needed wins over Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in November to finish with five wins. Brown’s record at WVU is 22-25.

Brown’s job status appeared to hang in the balance following the Nov. 14 firing of WVU AD Shane Lyons. Lyons awarded Brown a contract extension after posting a 6-4 record in 2020. However, hours after Wren Baker was named the new director of athletics on Nov. 30, the university confirmed that Brown would remain as head coach.

#2 – Bob Huggins gets a call from The Hall

As career milestones continued to mount for Bob Huggins in recent years, a call from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame became an annual expectation. That call officially came in April when Huggins became one of 13 inductees for the collection of basketball legends. Huggins was enshrined in a September ceremony in Springfield, Mass.

Huggins, a former WVU player, was picked over former UConn head coach Jim Calhoun for third on the NCAA’s all-time wins list. With 926 wins, Huggins trails only Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim.

#1 – Glenville State wins the National Championship

The Glenville State women’s basketball team secured the school’s first national championship in any sport on March 25. The Lady Pioneers defeated Western Washington, 85-72 in the National Championship game in Birmingham, Ala.

“It’s so surreal. We want to give glory to God. It’s something we’ve been doing all year. It’s important to us. I also want to thank all of our fans, who were like our sixth man tonight,” Glenville State head coach Kim Stephens said on the CBS Sports Network broadcast. “I want to thank our team. They bought in and they played hard. I’m not the easiest person to play for. But they did it. It paid off. It doesn’t get any better than this.”

Glenville State (35-1) set a new NCAA Division II Tournament scoring record. Their 524 points surpassed the record of 504 points set by California University of Pennsylvania in 2004. In six NCAA Tournament games, GSU’s average margin of victory was 25.8 points. Glenville State finished the year averaging 95.5 points per game, 13 points more than any team in Division II.

The championship was the first NCAA basketball title for a West Virginia school.
