The game will also be the debut of UVa-Wise first-year offensive coordinator Zach Lewis. Lewis spent last season in the same role at Alderson Broaddus where he guided the Battlers to 419.7 yards per game and top 40 ranking nationally; a year ago, the Cavs posted 326 yards per game. Lewis' unit returns five starters, including All-MEC Honorable Mention left tackle Sage McBride who made 11 starts at the position in 2018.

Please view the online Catalog at https://www.uvawise.edu/academics/academic-affairs/college-catalog/ for the latest version. About the College The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, formerly Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia, is the only four-year, state-supported college in far southwestern Virginia and is a division of the University of Virginia. Situated on 396 acres in Wise County, UVa-Wise is an incredible example of the determination and perseverance of southwestern Virginia citizens. Before the College was created, there were no public colleges in Virginia west of Radford. Higher education was simply out of reach for most residents of Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains. When local residents Fred B. Greear, William A. Thompson, Kenneth P. Asbury, affectionately known as the “Three Wise Men,” and others made their case to University of Virginia President Colgate Darden for establishing a college in Wise, the Commonwealth of Virginia supported the cause by offering $5,000 to open, staff, and operate the two-year school for the fi rst year. Local supporters donated over $6,000 to furnish and equip the classrooms. Wise County donated property and two sandstone buildings, remnants of the county poor farm, to house the fi rst classes. All of these events happened in the winter of 1954. In September of that same year, Clinch Valley College opened its doors to 100 freshmen. Many of the fi rst classes of graduates went on to the University and other senior institutions and became some of the region’s most successful professionals.
