About
The Fastpitch Chronicle Coaches Honor Roll Page is dedicated to the memory of longtime Middleton assistant coach Jerry Haugen.
Listed on this page are the coaches who have achieved milestones in terms of the number of victories their varsity teams have won, number of conference championships won, sectional championships and state championships and runner-up finishes. To add a coach to the list, e-mail the information to us at faspich1@aol.com.
We are also interested in honoring coaches who coach at the JV level or freshman level. They are important too and should be recognized. Send information via e-mail and we'll create a category for them.
