A lot of former Martinsburg players have gone on, during the school's great run in WV high school play, to have some good careers at D2 schools, like Shepherd. Some have played at WVU and did OK. Good for them!
Doesn't mean it is a big hot bed for quality D1 players year in and year out! I would say as many, if not more, quality D1 players during the same time period have come out of Spring Valley down in West Huntington area. Heck, almost every year there are some D1 players who come out of the upper Ohio Valley area, Wheeling, etc. In the past the Herd use to get players from that area, around New Martinsville on up to Weirton, etc. A few players from that area today may end up going to MAC schools, like Miami, or others, Akron, Kent, etc., due to PROXIMITY!. Perhaps a player or two who could play at the G5 level have come out of Martinsburg but preferred to go to nearby Shepherd, or other close by D2 schools in Maryland and PA, mainly to be CLOSE TO Home, rather than make the long, 7-8 hour trip to Huntington, to play for MU!!
