GLASGOW – On Monday, Barren County athletic director, Warren Cunningham welcomed Jon Myatt as the school’s newest head softball coach.
“It was a prefect fit and an easy choice to hire [Jon] here at Barren County High School,” said athletic director Warren Cunningham. “He has great knowledge of our players and the program, and he’s very comfortable with those relationships.” “We certainly have the foundation to continue what we’ve done and build on that.”
