On Saturday, Bob Huggins got his 800th win. Tonight, No. 11 West Virginia, which might be better now than it was last season, aims for No. 801. In between, the players visited WVU’s children’s hospital Sunday, and that’s becoming an annual deal for the Mountaineers.

On Friday, though, a little old driver, so likely and quick, popped up in Van, and Tony Gibson, who in July donated $25,000 to the children’s hospital in Boone Country, once again lifted up the place he still calls home.

“My name is attached to this,” Gibson said, “but I had help. And if it wasn’t for the other major contributors, I couldn’t have done this.”

What “this” turned into was a $375 lift for 53 families in Boone County. Major donors like Gibson and his wife Kerry, Astorg Auto, Greg Darby of Little General, Steve and Jamie Antoline, Wayne and Kathy Richards, Johnny Cagagis, Lara Bowen of Larry’s Pharmacy in Madison and Bill Stone helped pony up over $34,000.

“We had other people give $100,” Gibson said. “One person dropped off two $20 bills.”

It all helped. Gibson and company gave each of the 53 families a $150 gift card to a grocery store, a $225 gift card to Walmart, plus a turkey.
