Fresh-off a new hire of a new head football coach, the Huntington Local Board of Education has also hired a new head softball coach in Brian Smith. He fills the vacancy left by the departure of Coach Spenser Smith.

Smith is the former Huntington Baseball coach, where he led the Huntsmen to 41 wins in four years and a sectional championship in 2014. He has served as the Huntington assistant softball coach for the last four years as they won two sectional championships.

“My main goal is to teach these young student athletes that hard work and dedication will not only help in Softball but in life. I want them to be held accountable because life holds us accountable. Also, very involved in community service in our community and to always make a positive impact in everything we do”, said Smith.

“(I’m) So very blessed to be part of our township. I have been blessed to be a part of Baseball, Softball, girls basketball and boys basketball when Todd Kellough and Eric Snyder ran our basketball programs. Simply put, I just feel very blessed and honored to be a part of these young student athletes journey. And so thankful for our administration and our board of education. Go Green.”
