Kevin Porterfield

Kevin Porterfield enters his 22nd season with the WildCats as the winningest coach in program history. He first arrived at Randolph in 1999 as an assistant with both the soccer and basketball programs and in 2001 was named the head coach of the soccer team. During the 2002 season, they set a program record for wins while placing four players on the ODAC Honorable Mention Team. During his time, WildCat players have earned ODAC and VaSID All-State honors. The program has seen success over the last few years as well with Porterfield guided the WildCats to the ODAC tournament in 2016 and in 2018, he led the program to the second-most wins in program history. That same year, the WildCats got their first victory over a ranked opponent while qualifying for the ODAC Tournament once again. The 'Cats placed a player on the All-ODAC Third Team in 2018, Second Team All-ODAC in 2019, and Randolph's first ODAC First Team selection since 2010 in 2021.


A graduate of Longwood University, Porterfield was a three year letter winner with the Lancers while starting in the backline. He was part of a VISA Eastern Division Championship team in 1992. In 1995 he made the transition to coaching as an assistant with the women’s soccer team. He helped guide the team to a 14-2-2 record and a second place finish in the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference in only the second year of varsity status. The squad boasted a conference leading team defense of 0.91 goals against average for the year, while pacing the CVAC with 59 goals for the year. Porterfield remained at Longwood for the 1996 season while working with the men’s program.


In 1998 Porterfield was named head coach at his alma mater, Northiside High School, in Roanoke, VA where he was a two sport athlete. His teams were awarded numerous All-State, Regional and District honors. The Vikings reached the District finals in each of Porterfield’s three years with the program. In 2000 he was named Blue Ridge District and Region III Coach of the Year.

Sheldon Blue

Blue comes to Randolph from nearby ODAC institution Roanoke College where he has served as assistant coach with the Maroons for the past four seasons. During his tenure, Roanoke qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2019, advanced three times to the league semifinals, and the ODAC tournament championship last season while compiling a 36-14-15 record.


With four years of coaching experience in the ODAC, Blue is already familiar with the Randolph program, its players, and its winning culture.


"I was attracted to Randolph because it's a great school, with strong academics, and a beautiful campus. There is a rich history with the soccer program having made an NCAA Tournament and having won an ODAC regular-season title in the past," said Blue. "And, we play in one of the best stadiums around. I have seen first-hand how passionate the fans are on campus and the amazing atmosphere for games."


Prior to arriving at Roanoke, Blue was an assistant coach at Wesley College in Dover, Del. from 2017-2019. In 2018, the Wolverines men's team was named the most improved team in NCAA Division III men's soccer. Wesley recorded an 11.5-game turnaround from 2017 to the 2018 season, which tied the 1999 University of Puget Sound Loggers for the largest single-season improvement in NCAA Division III history.


Blue also served as head coach at Cumberland County College in Vineland, N.J. from 2016-2017.


As a student-athlete, Blue was a team captain in his senior year and named to the All-Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) second team in 2013. Blue earned Dean's List honors as student at Wesley and All-CAC Academic Honor Roll accolades three times during his undergraduate years.


Blue graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sports Management from Wesley in 2015. He obtained his Master of Science degree in the same field from Wesley in 2019.
