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 !

80 years of High School 🏫 Coaching in one photo πŸ“· as Rick Nester of Carroll County and Alan Knight share a moment on The Hill.

Odds and ends on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Happy Senior Day Weekend to Miss Maddie Gordon (Page County High School) and her Penn State teammates ❀, Welcome πŸ™ Home Bill Gallimore and some Love for the Shawn & Jon Show!

Maddie Gordon had a record setting four year career under Alan Knight at Page County High School Lady Panthers. It doesn’t seem possible that she is getting ready to graduate from Penn State University.

Nicknamed ” Big Country ” by her Nittany Lion teammates because the town of Shenandoah, Virginia doesn’t stretch much further than Laurel Fork.

The younger of the Gordon sisters has been an amazing ambassador for the game of Softball and in her representation of Page County, Virginia !

Β Β  Gone but not forgotten could be the tag for the folks that coach up our Track and Field teams. While the bleacher project made the Soccer ⚽️ home schedules quite the challenge, it eliminated the opportunity for T & F to perform on their Home track πŸ‘£.

This creates a challenge for a Senior Day ceremony for the group but there’s hope they can sneak in with one of the other seven teams that will be holding one in the coming weeks.

We truly appreciate πŸ™ the efforts of our duo. One teaches Social Studies and coaches three Cross Country teams while the other wears a badge to protect us in addition to keeping up with a household full of daughters.

In closing, what does a hard working Lawn Boy πŸ‘¦, a mechanically challenged Paper Boy and a sudden β›ˆπŸŒ©βš‘ storm equal =???

  The answer is getting to share a laugh with ones fellow Laurel Forkian ( I think I just made that word up) about two people not bright enough to come in out of the storm. The world 🌎 is a better place with Kris Richardson in it, even if its just long enough to laugh at each other.

Two Page County High School Lady Panthers return to the Commonwealth today as Coker University plays Softball at Emory and Henry this afternoon.

Two Freshman on the Coker Cobras softball team will get to play their first games this season back in their home state when Coker travels to Emory and Henry for a double header today.

Both players, Arianna Roudabush and Bailee Gaskins shined on the Diamond πŸ’Ž for Head Coach Alan Knight as well as in the classroom. Their Bios highlight the accomplishments on the schools 🏫 website.
