MUNCIE, Ind. — Yorktown's new head softball coach is Jeremy Penrod, the team's assistant coach since 2018 and a longtime Indiana travel softball coach.
Penrod replaces Jeff Berger, who coached the Tigers 2015-21 and led them to an IHSAA state championship appearance in 2019 before retiring this past summer. Penrod called Berger a "mentor" for the past three years, and he was eager to take the reins when the job became available.
"Super excited, glad to have the opportunity," Penrod said. "I've either coached these girls or coached against these girls since they were probably 8 or 9 years old, so I know them pretty well.
