"Coaching at Skagit Valley College provided me with an opportunity that many people my age do not get. From watching games as a kid, to putting on the uniform as a player, to coaching this program for the last 5 years… I am extremely grateful for the relationships, challenges, and experience that I have was provided. SVC will always have a special place in my heart, and I'm proud to say that I left the program better than I found it".- Shane Servoss
In addition to his team's success on the field, he has helped his student-athletes move on to Four-year Level schools such as Northwest Nazarene University, Linfield, Western Oregon, Eastern Oregon, St. Martin's, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Point Loma, and Grand Canyon University to name a few. One player from SVC has been selected in the MLB Draft after his time at SVC as well. Kade Mechals played for SVC in 2018 before moving on to GCU. After a successful stint at GCU, Mechals was selected in the 4
th round of the 2020 MLB Draft, the highest draft pick to come out of SVC.
"Shane's unwavering commitment to SVC Baseball as a player, assistant and head coach have had a significant impact on the lives of many student-athletes. We can't thank Shane enough for all he has poured into the program as well as the many sacrifices that he has made. Some of the pivotal roles he has taken on include: supporting students personally & academically, community engagement, athletic development, and managing a roster of 40+ competitive student-athletes"
