March 2026 Luncheon

Speaker: Patrick Nichols

Head Baseball Coach at Greenbrier Christian Academy; numerous state championships; played high school ball (catcher) for Gary Lavell at GCA; played college ball at Coastal Carolina; drafted by Washington Nationals.

Prior to appointment to GCA head coaching position, Pat was an assistant to Coach Lavell and he coached the Cuddyer/Upton 7-Cities Blasters U12-U13 showcase teams which featured a roster of 13-15 ball players, almost every one of whom went on to play college baseball (including my son, John – VMI). Those teams were dominant in competitions up and down the East Coast, even when they played up one or two age groups.

He brings a youthful exuberance for his game, his coaching, his school, his players and his home town.
