Page County Officials Investigating Alleged Misconduct on JV Football Team
All JV practices and competitions temporarily suspended
SHENANDOAH, Va. — The Page County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) and Page County Public Schools (PCPS) are investigating an alleged incident of physical misconduct and discrimination involving members of the junior varsity football team.
On October 9, 2025, PCPS Superintendent Bryan Huber issued a statement to parents, which read:
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
Earlier this week, the administration at Page County Middle and Page County High Schools received information regarding possible incidents of physical misconduct and discrimination involving members of our JV football team.
These allegations are currently under review by our school division and local officials, including law enforcement.
I want to provide an update on our response as this process continues.
We care deeply about every student in our school division. Their safety and well-being are our highest priorities. Page County Public Schools is committed to providing a safe environment for all students — both in school and during school-related activities.
Our School Board maintains strong policies prohibiting physical misconduct and discrimination, and we have clear procedures in place for investigating and addressing any violations of these policies. When we become aware of potential misconduct, we act swiftly to protect students from further harm or retaliation.
Upon receiving information that suggested students’ safety or well-being may have been at risk, we immediately contacted law enforcement and began a joint investigation.
Based on our initial findings, we decided to postpone the JV football game scheduled against Strasburg High School on Wednesday, October 8.
To preserve the integrity of the investigation, JV football practices and competitions have been temporarily suspended while we gather all relevant facts.
A final decision regarding the remainder of the JV season will be made once the investigation is complete.
We recognize that pausing the JV football season impacts our students, staff, and community. This is a tough decision and was not made lightly. However, given the seriousness of the allegations, it is essential that we complete a full and fair review before moving forward.
I want to thank the staff and administrators at Page County Middle and High Schools, as well as the Page County Sheriff’s Department, for their professionalism, diligence, and sensitivity throughout this process.
I also want to express my appreciation for the courageous students who have spoken honestly and supported one another during this time. They embody the care, integrity, and respect that define Page County Public Schools.
The PCSO later shared the letter on Facebook, simply adding:
The Criminal Investigations Division and the SRO Division of the Page County Sheriff’s Office are actively investigating the incident referenced in the letter from PCPS Superintendent, Bryan Huber, Ed.D.
Due to the sensitive nature of this investigation and juvenile involvement, no additional details will be released. Investigators have been in contact with the Commonwealth’s Attorney and will be continuing to gather evidence and information.

Prayers for the young man that was the victim.
