Let's welcome Trevor Humphrey!
My name is Trevor Humphry, and I am honored to be the next Head Baseball Coach at Mena High School! I graduated from Delight High School and then attended UA Fort Smith before being drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the Major League Baseball Draft. After an injury ended my professional career, I began working and started a family, but I knew that coaching was something I would like to pursue. Coaching my daughter’s competitive softball teams over the years rekindled my love for coaching, so I returned to school and recently graduated from Henderson State University. My daughter, Madison, signed to play softball at UA Rich Mountain, and it was through that experience that I fell in love with Mena and the Polk County community. My family and I are excited to become a part of the Mena family, and I look forward to working towards developing a baseball program that makes the community proud. GO BEARCATS!
The Mena Ladycats travelled to Branson Missouri on Sunday and will be competing at the Licking Volleyball Camp Monday & Tuesday, GO LADYCATS!
