After watching West Prairie and Augusta Southeastern co-op for football and girls’ basketball this season, that agreement will also reach into the spring sports including softball.
Perhaps there is no one better fitted to lead the WP/SE softball team than Cyle Rigg who will enter his first season as the head softball coach.
Rigg, who is a Colchester native and Colchester High School graduate, was the head baseball coach at his high school alma mater almost 25 years ago before taking over administrative and coaching duties in Augusta for the past two decades.
Now, Rigg is at the helm of the co-op softball program and becomes the third coach in three years for several of the West Prairie players.
Yet, after years of coaching high school baseball, but never coaching softball at the high school level, Rigg doesn’t see a lot of difference between the two sports.
