It was the second day of the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship, then a grueling 54 holes over the course of two days. “I had some high expectations, hoping to do well and had a decent first day, but I also hit a couple bonehead shots,” Spencer recalled. “Then I got lucky. I didn’t hit it pure, but I got a lucky bounce, and it rolled into the cup. I finished in the top 20. That was pretty cool.” It was the first holein-one by a Warrior at the championship. After graduation, Spencer worked at White Deer Golf Course as the public relations and marketing coordinator for 15 years before becoming a sales executive with Susquehanna Marble & Granite. He stepped into the world of coaching, first as a student-assistant coach with the Lycoming basketball team under head coach Terry Conrad, then through successful runs as the head boys’ basketball coach at Muncy and Montoursville High Schools and St. John Neumann Regional Academy. He also writes a weekly article in the Webb Weekly, distributed to 60,000 households in Northcentral Pennsylvania.
