First-year Garrett softball coach Julie DePew is no different.
After what was supposed to be her first year in 2020 was wiped out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the new Garrett mentor canât wait for the season to begin.
The Railroaders will take the field the first time today, April 6, at East Noble. Their first home game is Friday against Bellmont. Both games start at 5 p.m.
While DePew has coached varsity softball at other schools, nothing can beat leading your alma mater.
âThis whole program means a lot to me. I graduated from here, and my senior year (1987) was the first season for Garrett High School softball,â she said. âIt means a lot. Iâm real big on the pride and tradition, and I want to instill that into the kids.â
