Name: Josh Johnson Position: Varsity Assistant (Pitcher and Catcher Responsibilities) My experience with the RHS Baseball Program has been great. We might not have won as many games in the inaugural season as I might have hoped, but the experience and the invaluable lessons I learned as a coach will help make this program better in the future. I find the guys to be hardworking and fun to be around. The know the game of baseball can be humbling if you do not put forth the effort. I completely enjoyed working with the pitchers and catchers, as well as calling the pitches on game days. Expectations for 2006: We are still in the process of developing not just a team, but a program. I feel the future is looking bright and this years team will have a strong core of young players eager to become champions. I fully expect this years team to be in every ball game. We will better on the field, and compete hard to become the best. We must think everything through and be aggressive, while playing percentage baseball. Let's get after it! Family: Married to wife Allison |
