Point's Mitchell follows family example en route to Marshall

Point Pleasant’s Cody Mitchell was the runner-up for the state’s Kennedy Award after compiling 3,249 all-purpose yards and 51 touchdowns as a senior.

Cody Mitchell’s experience at Marshall will be nothing like that of his older brother Derek. It can’t be.

That differing journey begins today, as Cody participates in the rite of National Signing Day, signing a document and stuffing it in that icon of 1990s technology, the fax machine.

He plans to send his fax in to MU at about 8 a.m., with a replica signing ceremony to follow at Point Pleasant High School.
