MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A decade after graduating from Morgantown High School, Craig Carey has reached an important benchmark in his young coaching career. Last month, Carey was elevated to the role of full-time assistant coach at West Virginia University.
“It is very unique. I know a lot of people don’t get opportunities like this. I am just trying to make the most of it,” Carey said.
Carey wrapped up a solid high school career in 2008, leading Morgantown to a spot in the Class AAA state semifinals and a North Central Athletic Conference title. His playing career would continue for one more season in 2010-2011.
