It hasn’t quite been three full years since Taevon Horton was named the Bill Evans Award winner as West Virginia’s top high school basketball player.
The former Fairmont Senior standout is now at his third college since his Polar Bear playing days ended, though he’s continued to excel on the hardwood.
After spending his freshman season as a walk-on at West Virginia University and his sophomore campaign at Missouri State-West Plains, Horton settled on the University of Pikeville a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) located 4 hours south of Horton’s hometown.
CHARLESTON â About half of West Virginiaâs 43 public and private college campuses started vaccinating their employees against COVID-19 last week, according to a spokesperson for the stateâs higher education oversight agencies.
Spokesperson Jessica Tice wrote in an email that 1,000 doses were to be given across the colleges last week.
âThis was based on whether they were open, whether they had people who were eligible to be vaccinated who were available this week and whether they had at least 10 people who fit the criteria (doses come in vials of 10, and vials canât be separated),â Tice wrote.
The currently available vaccines require two doses, spaced apart, to reach their full effectiveness, so everyone vaccinated now will need to get another shot of the same companyâs vaccine later.
