SALISBURY — Catawba is home on Saturday night against UVA Wise.

Kickoff at Shuford Stadium is at 6 p.m.

The Indians will welcome an old friend, as UVA head coach Gary Bass is a former Catawba offensive lineman who performed with distinction in the trenches.

Bass also coached locally as an assistant at East Rowan before moving into the college ranks.

Catawba is favored by 10 points by the Massey Ratings, even though Catawba never has beaten UVA Wise in football, but it’s a small sample size. The Indians are 0-3 in the series, including an exciting 31-28 loss in the Virginia hills in 2024.
