Adams was a member of Glenville State's Elite Eight team in 2007 and followed that with three more amazing seasons in the blue and white. She averaged 16.1 points per game in 2008, 15.4 PPG in 2009 and 22.6 PPG in 2010, making All-WVIAC First Team. She remains ninth on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,505 career points. She has materialized an impressive career as a Sargent in the U.S. Army National Guard.

Tasker still holds the second-highest total of tackles in a single season with 134 tackles in 2000. The standout linebacker was an All-WVIAC First Team performer. After Glenville State, he enjoyed a long coaching career, including an extended stint with the Pioneers as the program's Defensive Coordinator. He also remains in the top five of the school's all-time list in tackles.

Young was an NAIA All-American in 1985, closing his career with 1,508 points and 820 rebounds. That season, he averaged a double-double at 20.6 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game. He currently sits in the top 10 all-time on both lists. He played on the last team of Hall of Famer Jesse Lilly and the first team of Hall of Famer Gary Nottingham.
