More than a dozen members of the WVU football team rolled into the Mid Ohio Valley this evening

The Mountaineer contingent was here for the annual Parkersburg Boys and Girls Club Steak and Burger dinner.

The Mountaineers got here a little late, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the hundred of Mountaineer fans that packed the Grand Pointe Center in Vienna.

The dinner and silent auction raises tens of thousand of dollars to help the local Boys and Girls Club fund the programs that help the youth of this community.

After dinner, the players talked with the kids, signed autographs, and had their pictures taken

It wasn't that along ago that many of these players were Boys Club members themselves

The visit just over a month after their record setting Orange Bowl victory, and some of the players reflect on what they achieved on that amazing night in Miami
