Wildcats' Leader Reaches Historic Milestone: Coach Greg Page Reaches 200th Career Game 

By Josh Rushton

The final whistle on Friday didn't just mark another victory for the Wildcats; it etched a permanent spot in the program's history books.  Coach Page, who has served as Homer-Center's head coach since 2007 and was an assistant at Laurel Valley before that, is not only a math teacher but a generational figure of local football excellence.  The 200-game milestone is a testament to nearly three decades of work, including Heritage Conference titles and a run to the PIAA State Championship game in 2017.

"When you think of Homer-Center football, you think of Coach Page," said Jody Rainey, Principal.  "This achievement reflects a steadfast commitment to his players and our school.  It’s a point of pride for our entire community."

The emotional win was a hard-fought battle, coming as a result of a strong defensive effort and a balanced offensive attack.  The entire team, including current players and many former standouts in the crowd, celebrated the achievement.  For the student-athletes, the victory was less about the final score and more about honoring their leader.

“We knew what was on the line for Coach, and we played every down for him,” said Riley Cobaugh, Senior Wide Receiver. “It’s huge to be part of this history, but what matters most is the consistent example he sets—toughness, strategy, and respect.  He has taught us how to win, but also how to handle a loss.”  The early season win gave the team significant momentum heading into the remainder of the season, bolstering their confidence as they continue to prepare for a potential District VI playoff berth.  The team currently sits at four and two.

What’s next is a continuation of the tradition Coach Page has built: a focus on the next opponent and the development of the young men in the program.  He will continue to teach Geometry in the high school while leading the Wildcats in their quest for another conference title. This milestone is about more than football; it’s a celebration of a dedicated educator whose legacy is woven into the fabric of Homer-Center.  The celebration of 200 games serves as an inspiring reminder to students and staff that long-term dedication truly pays off.
