In-state QB Max Anderson talks West Virginia opportunity


Spring Mills quarterback Max Anderson is taking his recruitment one step at a time but now has some things to consider with West Virginia offering him an opportunity.

Anderson, 6-foot-1, 208-pounds, spoke with inside wide receivers coach Blaine Stewart and the assistant made it clear that the Mountaineers would like for him to join the program.

“He told me the news and how much Rich Rodriguez likes me throwing the ball and that he was proud of my performance throughout the season and just catching up with me,” he said.

The Mountaineers are targeting him as a quarterback and naturally he was fired up about the news. He is coming off a season where he threw for 1,464 yards and 19 touchdowns with just 6 interceptions, while rushing for 1,078 yards and 18 scores.

“I was pumped to get offered by my home state at quarterback,” he said.

Anderson has ties to the West Virginia football program outside of being an in-state native as his uncle Josh Francis suited up for the Mountaineers and he went to plenty of his games as well as more after.

The plan is to make a visit to West Virginia in order to see the school soon and while nothing is set yet he plans to also take a trip to West Liberty.

Anderson is looking for a place where he can play football and earn a degree while growing into a successful person both on and off the field. He has no timeline for a decision.

West Virginia First Foundation lauds Wheeling police for crisis intervention success


The West Virginia First Foundation visited the Wheeling Police Department to commend its efforts in addressing the area’s mental health and opioid crisis.

Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger presented to the WVFF board, highlighting the department’s progress.

Schwertfeger attributed a 14% decrease in Group A crimes from 2024 to 2025 to the department’s crisis intervention program.

“Just another great partnership,” he said. “More collaboration in this area that we are very proud of and we want to keep the momentum going,.”

WVFF Executive Director Jonathan Board praised the program’s success.

“This in particular, the CIT program, that isn’t just in the ether, but is showing success – actual scientific success about de-escalation, about bringing together services providers and to boots on the ground and first responders, this is vitally important to not only this region but the entire state,” Board said.

The visit was part of WVFF’s ‘Hold the Line’ tour across the state.
