Bio
Shane was named the head coach April 20, 2023, after serving as the interim coach since the previous fall.
He joined the Gators as an assistant coach for the 2022 season, when they won 20 games for the first time in school history. In addition to coaching the outfielders and hitters, he was responsible for recruiting. After his first year as the head coach at VPCC, 10 of his players went on to play at four-year institutions, including one at an NCAA Division I program.
Harrison was born and raised in Poquoson, graduating from Poquoson High School. He’s the manager of a local glass business and is president/CEO of the Peninsula Co Pilots, an AAU baseball and softball organization for boys and girls ages 9-18.
He played high school and American Legion baseball, and was inspired to be a coach because his father was a coach. His first coaching job came in youth baseball at age 19. He was a middle school football coach for several years before concentrating on baseball.
He and his wife, Shannon, have two daughters (Alexis and Payton) and one son (Blake).
