Scott Satterfield: The 1991 Orange graduate is in his sixth season as head coach of Appalachian State, where he played quarterback from 1991-1995. On the eve of Saturday’s 72-7 Appalachian win over Gardner-Webb, it was announced by the Mountaineer athletic department that Satterfield has agreed to a two-year contract extension. The new deal will keep Satterfield as the head coach in Boone until 2023. “I’m blessed and honored to be the head coach here at Appalachian State,” Satterfield said through a school-issued release. “I still come to work every day excited about being part of such a special university. “I would like to thank Chancellor Sheri Everts, the Board of Trustees and Doug Gillin (App State’s athletics director) for their support of me, my family, our coaching staff and App State Football. We will continue to build a championship-caliber program. It’s great to be a Mountaineer!” Satterfield is 43-23 as a head coach. He replaced Jerry Moore as head coach in 2011 and bridged the gap between Appalachian’s transition from an FCS school to FBS. In his stint, Appalachian has won three consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championships and victories in the Camellia Bowl (in 2015 & 2016) and the Dollar General Bowl (in 2017). Under his old contract, Satterfield made $425,000 annually.
Bryse Wilson: Though he hasn’t pitched since Tuesday, Wilson was spraying champagne on his Braves’ teammates in the Atlanta clubhouse at SunTrust Park on Saturday afternoon. The Atlanta Braves defeated Philadelphia 5-3 to clinch its first National League East Division Championship since 2013. With six games remaining in the regular season, Atlanta is 3-and-a-half games behind the Chicago Cubs for home-field advantage for the National League playoffs, so its possible Wilson could see action before the regular season ends Sunday. Wilson is currently part of Atlanta’s 40-man roster. The 25-man playoff roster will be submitted by each playoff team next Monday.
Garrett Cloer: For the 2nd straight week, Cloer started at wide receiver for Cornell in its home opener on Saturday. Yale defeated the Big Red 30-24 in what was also Cornell’s homecoming game at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, NY. Cloer didn’t make any catches in the game. Cornell (0-2) will host Sacred Heart on Saturday.
Rachel Shinnick: The 2015 Orange graduate fired two shots for the Wofford women’s soccer team in an 8-1 loss to East Tennessee State on Sunday in Johnson City, TN.

The Terriers are 2-7-1, 0-2 in the Southern Conference going into Friday’s game against Chattanooga.
Brittany Daley: The freshman centerback from Cedar Ridge fired a shot as Division III Greensboro College improved to 7-0 with a 4-1 win over Averett University on Saturday afternoon in Danville, VA. Daley has played in all seven of the Pride’s games, starting five of them, including Saturday’s victory.
Jordan Lloyd: The Brevard Tornadoes volleyball team dropped a pair of USA South Conference matches on Saturday in a tri-match held in Berea, KY. Huntingdon defeated Brevard 3-0. In that match, Lloyd led Brevard with seven kills. She also had six digs. In a 3-1 loss to Berea, Lloyd again led the Tornadoes with 12 kills. She also had a team-high 31 digs. Brevard returns to action on Saturday in a USA South Conference tri-match at home against LaGrange and Maryville (Tennessee).
