Game Time Decesion ? Never in doubt – Play Ball says the AD / Act #4
The e-mail sent out by Page County AD Keith Cubbage says it best…
I wanted to make sure this in no confusion about tonight. WE ARE PLAYING THE FOOTBALL GAME AS SCHEDULED!!!!!!!!!!
The end of a 30 year coaching career coming to an end as Assistant Coach James “Jimmy” Burke retires. A salute to Burke was part of the pre game ceremonies. A tip of the Cap to Coach Burke for a life time of commitment to PCHS.
Hanging with Coach Comer – Act 3
Page County had an early dismissal on Friday which gave Coach Comer and his staff two extra hours to prepare for visiting Stonewall Jackson. First on the list at 1:30- check to see if striping the gridiron is an option after all of the rain.
The answer was a resounding No. There was still plenty of prep work to be done though by Coach Comer and P.E partner Coach Alan Knight. The next stop was the Lunch meeting in Shenandoah at Cousin Boogies. More game planning for the 7:30 kickoff that is now less than five hours away.
So just how muddy was the field at 2:00 P.M. ?
First K-9 Kickball, then talking weight room with your Freshman during lunch
- Coach Comer meeting with Freshman football players
- Getting the message out early- next year starts now!
Coach Comer took advantage of his lunch break , using the time to meet with his freshman football players. The JV team just completed a 4-5 season and Comer tells the younger Panthers that it is time to hit the weights. Part of turning around a program is getting the players to go 365 days.
Game Day with Page County’s Frank Comer
It has been 30 years since I was in a High School Gym class before this morning but here I am as we take a behind the scenes look at A Day in the LIfe of a High School Football Coach. Mr. Frank Comer is finishing his 3RD season at the helm of the Page County Panthers of the Shenandoah District. Coach Comer and his squad are due to play Stonewall Jackson at home tonight at 7:30 P.M. in the season finale.

The goal today was to go behind the scenes with Coach Comer to catch a glimpse of a typical Game Day routine at the High School level. Opening bell rings at 8:10 A.M. but the prep work starts even earlier. Comer teams with fellow coach/teacher Alan Knight to run the Physical Education department at PCHS as well as teaching Drivers Education. Time to head to the gym for Block 1 and a game called K-9 Kickball…
