Nixa High hires Drury assistant Logan Hughes as head baseball coach

Nixa will have a new head coach heading into the 2022 baseball season.

Logan Hughes has been hired as the new head baseball coach of the Eagles, the school announced Monday. He's coming off his eighth year as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Drury.

Hughes will replace Jason Daugherty, who resigned at the end of the 2020-21 season.

At Drury, Hughes helped lead the Panthers to three Great Lakes Valley Conference-West Division titles along with four NCAA Division II Tournaments.

“We are excited to have Logan join the Nixa coaching staff to continue the successes of the past and keep Nixa baseball a premier program," Nixa athletics director Brandon Clark said in a statement.
