Tom Bruney is making a habit out of proving people wrong. He shocked everybody in the Ohio Valley this past fall by leading the Brooke Bruins to an undefeated season, and he did it again tonight with a strong defensive effort to top Ohio 24-14.
For West Virginia, this is only their second OVAC All Star Game victory of the 21st Century. For Coach Tom Bruney, it was his first victory in an All Star Game.
