Prior to coaching the Warrensburg Tigers, Coach Locher was a graduate assistant softball coach at UCM where she was also a former collegiate softball player for the Jennies. Coach Locher is among the UCM softball greats according to the record books. You'll see Coach Locher among the single-game, season and career leaders in multiple categories. Coach Locher made the All-MIAA three times as a player and is the only Jennie to be awarded the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year Award. Coach Locher will be coaching physical education at Ray-Pec East Middle School.

Coach Prather is coming to us from Slater High School, where she was the Varsity Assistant Softball Coach working primarily with pitchers and catchers. Prior to coaching the Slater Wildcats, Coach Prather played softball at Missouri Valley College after graduating and playing at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.
