Head Coach: Haleigh Hughes Assistant Coach: Micheal Hughes
Haleigh grew up in East Texas but discovered her passion for softball after moving to Willis. When she returned home, her love for the game came with her. She began playing travel ball at age 11 and quickly became a dedicated athlete. A 2022 graduate of Elkhart High School, Haleigh went on to play two years of collegiate softball at Lamar State College–Port Arthur.
The game has always been a family affair—Haleigh’s love for softball was sparked at a young age by her dad, who not only taught her the game but now serves as her assistant coach. Together, they bring a deep passion for the sport and a shared commitment to developing the next generation of athletes.
