Sportstalk: Noel Readies Vipers for Fall Sports

/by

After 15 seasons of guiding Granville Central as athletic director, Ray Noel has started his first season in that same role with Vance Co. High School. Noel is currently preparing for the upcoming fall sports season. “I’m learning a lot and putting my spin on this,” Noel said on Tuesday’s SportsTalk show on WIZS.

While students are still on summer break, things are starting to happen such as the fall meeting for parents and athletes which takes place this Friday at the high school at 6:30pm. It’s a required meeting for those interested in fall sports and will give student athletes the opportunity to meet coaches and learn more information about playing sports this year.

This time of year Noel is busy preparing for football. The first game is August 19th against Warren County in Warrenton and leading up to that will be the first practice which takes place on August 1st at 12:01am.  It’s a fun and interesting way to get practice started Noel said and should have solid participation.  “We’ve had 45 to 50 kids for football camps,” Noel said.

On Friday, August 12th the annual jamboree will take place at 6pm at the high school and the following Friday the Vipers will tangle with the Warren County Eagles followed by two games at home.

Follow the Vipers all season long on WIZS for Friday Night Football with live play by play which, of course, will begin on Friday night, August 19th at Warren County.

Aug. 13 Gala To Celebrate 50 Years Of Live, Local Theater By Henderson Rec Players

/by

Fifty of just about anything is a lot. Chaperoning 50 children on a field trip is a lot and so is 50 miles ‘til the next rest area when you’re traveling along the interstate.

But 50 years of providing live local theater is a special milestone that the community joins the Henderson Rec Players in celebrating this summer.

And there’s a special gala event scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13 as part of the 50th anniversary celebration. The gala begins at 6:45 p.m. – before the 8 p.m. performance of “The Fantasticks,” the final play of this golden anniversary season.

Tickets are on sale now for the play, which opens Friday, Aug. 12. In addition to the two evening performances, the Sunday, Aug. 14 matinee begins at 2 p.m.

Tickets for the gala are $50 each, which includes an opening reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres, one show ticket, dessert after the show and a backstage tour of HRP memorabilia.

“The Fantasticks,” was also the final show of the 1972 season.
