For Veteran Head Coach Alan Knight its just business as usual up in Shenandoah ! Closing in on 50 years at the helm…

Earlier this year,  the Page County High School Lady Panthers fell to a record of 3-3 on the season. Was this finally going to be the year that the Class 2 powerhouse slipped back into the category of just being a good program ?

Fast Forward to Monday evening when the 18-3 team hosts Stuart Draft in the opening round of Regional play.

One Day, the amazing journey will end for the VHSL Hall of Fame Coach, but somewhere in the background you can hear Lee Corso saying – ” Not so Fast my Friend “

Best of Luck on Monday !

Welcome 🙏 My Friends, to the Game that never ends, still trying hard to have Cave Spring square off with Lord Botetourt so the winner 🏆 can come down to The Hill to play our Cavaliers…

Just like any movie 🎥 or TV 📺 show that involves a hostage situation, I came up to Daleville, Virginia tiday looking for proof of life.

We were set to have a HUGE Friday night 🌙 at Bill Worrell Field as we open play as the #2 seed. But we can’t play without an opponent. They have been trying to play the opening game since the beginning of the week and it still hasn’t happened.

  Our Friday night Party 🥳 became a Saturday night Party and then eventually a Monday night Party…. Still need the same thing that we have been needing all week, for either the Knights or the Northern version of the Cavaliers to advance.

Today’s start time has been moved once again, from 1:00 pm until 3:30 pm.

Senior Night 🌙

  We are ready, locked 🔒and loaded to pursue a Regional Crown 👑 and a seat 💺 at the table we call the State Tournament. The Burcham Bunch play Baseball ⚾️, really, really WELL and all they want to do is get back on the Diamond 💎.

There is a field here, the Cavaliers are here and hopefully the Knights will be soon enough. We need to hear the Umpire shout, Play Ball…
