WVU Grid?Standout Walsh Dies
MORGANTOWN — Raymond Walsh Jr. of Morgantown, who died last Saturday at the age of 76, was an outstanding defensive player for West Virginia University in the early 1950s. “He was a tough guy and a super teammate,” recalled Fred Wyant, a teammate of Walsh in 1952-53 and a close friend since then. “I always rated Ray right up there with (fullback) Tommy Allman. He was a great, very dependable lineman.” While he was born in Pennsylvania, Walsh grew up in Morgantown and succumbed after a short illness at his Point Marion Road home. Wyant remembers playing against him in a high school football game between Morgantown High and Weston. Walsh lettered in 1951-52-53 after playing a year on the freshman team, as required at that time. He didn’t play much his senior year at MHS because of injury. But Art “Pappy” Lewis, then in his first year as WVU’s head coach, liked what he saw of him in a basketball game.
