A familiar face will lead the program starting next spring.

(St. Leon, Ind.) – East Central High School did not have to search far for their new varsity baseball head coach.

He currently teaches 6th grade science at East Central Middle School.

“My mission is to empower our student-athletes to achieve their highest potential in every facet of their lives and build upon the traditions of East Central Baseball. Through a commitment to excellence, integrity, and teamwork, we will build a culture of continuous improvement and mutual respect. My goal is to instill a love for the game, foster personal growth, and prepare our players for success on and off the diamond,” said Coach Johnson.
