🔺 Catching Up With Coach. Six weeks in and already achieving history? Not too shabby.

Coach Skinn has the Patriots off to a strong 7-2 start in his first season at the helm of his alma mater. With 10 days between games, Coach and Woody Newton sat down to talk about how the season has started for the Green & Gold.

🔺 Hometown Pride. Nothing beats bringing your hometown a reason to smile.

Nathan Higley is doing exactly that with a strong start to the 2023-24 wrestling season for the Patriots. He recently won the 141-pound title at the Patriot Open.

His hometown dove into his strong start to the season.

🔺 Welcome Aboard! The Patriot family is growing!

This week, Director of Athletics Marvin Lewis announced the hiring of Katie Pate, the new Senior Associate AD, Director of Development for the Green & Gold.

Pate, a former student-athlete herself, brings more than 23 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics with experience as a head coach, broadcaster, fundraiser and leader.

🤔 PATRIOT TRIVIA

Through his first nine games in Fairfax, Woody Newton has certainly shown the ability to connect from long range.

With 14 three-pointers on the year, Newton is dialing it up at a 63.6-percent clip from beyond the arc.

Where does he rank nationally with that percentage?
