Barren County Trojanettes welcome new softball coach

BARREN COUNTY, Ky. – On Monday, the Trojannette softball team welcomed in their newest head coach, Jonathan Myatt.

Myatt takes over for coach Daryl Murphy who recently announced his retirement after heading the team since 2016.

Myatt, a former head coach of the trojan baseball program, now switches diamonds to take over softball and spoke on the state of the team entering his first year.

“Coach Murphy was such a great guy and it’s going to be some big shoes to fill,” Myatt said. “The way he conducted himself on and off the field and around those girls was second to none. I do know that I’ve got to watch him do a lot of great things and I’m glad I got to be a part of that, but I do want to bring home the regional title for our girls this year or maybe the next. We know we were there last year knocking on the door, so that’s our expectations right now.”
