darn!!
Musselman played at Point Pleasant. There was some question that their boosters or the school didn't want to pay for a hotel for the team. The left school at 7am and drove to Point and played a 730 kickoff. They feed them pizza and loaded them up and arrived back at the school around 5am Saturday morning. The year before Jefferson played Point in the first round and they drove down Friday afternoon and played on Saturday afternoon. Jefferson and Musselman are in the same county.

-----------------------------------
Their boosters or the school neither one would have had to pay for hotel rooms for Musselman,
The WVSSAC pays the cost of hotel rooms and travel during the WV Playoffs, so the school would have gotten those expenses returned to them from the WVSSAC.
