My name is Jerry Godfrey and I am the head coach for the Girls Varsity Softball Team. I started coaching softball in 2003 as an assistant and eventually became the head coach. I started helping with softball when coach Cindy taix was pregnant and needed a little help so I went for a while and had a blast and have been with them ever since. This year's team is one that is very close and all pull for the common goal which is for the team to be successful and Mentally tough! As far as game days we don’t do anything different. I don’t play, so the girls are the reason for our success.
