Multiple Games Postponed

April 14, 2019

Multiple games scheduled to be played on Sunday have been postponed due to rain.

For the first time in over 28 years Bethany baseball and softball will have new faces leading the way. Last season softball head coach Jan Forsty announced she was retiring at seasons end after 31 years. In July, Cassie Moore was tabbed head coach for the Bison. Earlier this year baseball coach Rick Carver announced that he was leaving Bethany. Two months later, Bethany named Justin Thomas as the new Bison skipper. Replacing two of the winningest coaches at Bethany wouldn’t be an easy task but Coach Moore and Coach Thomas have accepted their new roles and look to continue to build on the traditions set from Forsty and Carver and continue the success on and off the field. Recently I sat down with Coach Moore and Coach Thomas to give Bethanians the opportunity to get to know the both of them in a Q & A session.
