Big shoes to fill in Tigers softball
EPHRATA – With the recent retirement of Ephrata softball head coach Heather Wood, the program will have to look for a new head coach for the first time since 2002. According to athletic director Bryan Johnson, the new coach will have big shoes to fill. “Heather has done a lot over the years for the softball program and just created a really positive and competitive culture, that won't be easy to replace,” Johnson said.
