We are saddened to learn of the passing of Coach Curt Newsome, who devoted his life to the game of football while helping lead us to our first national championship.
He was one of the most respected coaches in our state between his time at JMU, Virginia Tech and Emory & Henry. Our thoughts are with Coach Newsome's family during this difficult time.
Look what we got here... it's a box from southwest Virginia!
The Emory & Henry Wasps invented one of the COOLEST shifts in football... even Steve Spurrier used it!
Thank you Coach Hunter and @EmoryHenry_FB for this great box, STINGERS UP!

At the Monday, December 1, 2025, Town Council meeting, Abingdon Town Council issued a proclamation honoring First Sergeant Michael Willis of the Virginia State Police.
After a 26-year career of service, Trooper Ben Gardner has now retired. He served within north central Kansas as the Public Resource Officer. Bridging the gap and building connections not only in Kansas, but well beyond and here on social media!
Trooper Ben, K-378, will be missed and he will have a retirement celebration with the Public Resource Officers and Recruitment Team in the near future.
Congratulations, Trooper Ben! Enjoy your retirement! We know we’ll still see you making connections with the public.

"Give me my first love!"
Lee Corso's first-ever headgear pick belonged to Brutus and the Buckeyes and it's only fitting that his last one is the same ❤️
I WAS ROBBED! Someone stole my ATV...It's a Polaris Sportsmen 850. Pay close attention to the tires...Very unique. If you find this for sale anywhere online, take a screen shot and post it in the comments! If you help me find it, I'll send you and autographed guitar:) REPOST!
Our monthly child seat check took us to the I-81 welcome center in Bristol today. We even had a visit from Trooper E. Price from @VSPPIO who came to assist!
Several parents & caregivers asked great questions and had their CRDs inspected for proper fit. Look for us next month! 😊
Stolen Vehicle Recovered 🚘
Suspect Apprehended 👌🏻
A stolen vehicle from NC entered TN earlier. Deputies pursued the suspect before THP took over, and ultimately spiked the vehicle. Great work to all agencies, as well as Troopers Willis and Curd for spikes and apprehension!
