Cover WV aims to empower West Virginians with insurance knowledge
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WBOY) — Dozens of locations across West Virginia participated in the second annual Cover WV Day on Thursday, where more than 20 organizations offered free assistance to those who need health insurance or feel they are underinsured.
According to Cover WV’s website, more than 100,000 West Virginians lack health coverage, so this event aimed to bridge the gap and answer questions. Community Care Bridgeport Case Manager Zach Morehead said that uninsured people is something that he and his team “encounter pretty regularly.”
“As we all know it can be very confusing so we’re happy to walk you through it step by step, you know, really, take the gloves off and explain everything to you as much or as little as you need,” Morehead said.
Even if you were not able to get to the locations on Thursday, places like Community Care will still be able to help you out virtually or in person until Jan. 15. Morehead recommended coming in earlier rather than later.
The state of Florida has treated West Virginia well over the years, and certainly in this recruiting class. The latest signee making his way up from Florida is linebacker Miles Khatri.

Scouting Report
Very instinctual player, who does a great job of snuffing out not only run plays but screens. He may not have the ideal size, but he more than makes up for it with his ability to cover ground in a hurry. Once he extends an arm and grabs hold of you, he typically finishes the play right then and there. No wiggling free for extra yardage. Love what he can do in the run game and shutting things down on the perimeter. This season, he registered 93 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, seven sacks, an interception, and one forced fumble. Has a nose for the football and can help put the opposing offense behind the sticks at any given moment.
Projected Playing Time
This is a guy I think defensive coordinator Zac Alley can have a lot of fun with because of his positional flexibility. He can play inside or either outside backer positions, and even played a good deal of nickel for his high school. To be honest, I’m having a hard time predicting a timeline on his path to the field because I’m unsure of where he’ll actually settle in. If he does play Nickel/SAM as well as weakside backer, he could play his way into the rotation by year two. If he happens to stick at one of the backer spots, he may need to wait a little longer. That versatility should help him in one way or another, though.
