Juanita High School has hired a new baseball coach. Beginning this spring the Rebels will be under the helm of Sherman Leach.

Leach has spent years coaching, most recently as the JV coach at Inglemoor High School in Bothell. He has also coached several summer baseball teams and hockey teams in the area.

According to Juanita Athletic Director Tim Crowder all three of Leach’s children attended and graduated from Juanita, and played sports with the Rebels.

“We are excited about the direction that his leadership will move this baseball program,” said Crowder.
