Jonathan Kimble is going to need his beard for another year.

Kimble, a first-year WVU graduate student in industrial and labor relations and sport management from Franklin, will continue to don his buckskins, a coonskin cap and carry around his musket as he has been tabbed again as the Mountaineer Mascot for the 2013-14 school year.

“It is the greatest honor to continue to represent our state and University as the Mountaineer,” Kimble said. “I will continue to encourage all fans to conduct themselves in a manner that brings pride and honor to our teams and state.” More online: http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2013/03/09/kimble-named-wvu-mountaineer-mascot-again-for-2013-14
