After a storied tenure as the head baseball coach, Scott Norwood will be stepping down from his coaching role to embrace the responsibilities of a full-time Athletic Director and Alumni Relations position.
Scott Norwood, who has been an integral part of Ranger College's baseball program, has significantly contributed to the team's success over the years. His dedication to the sport and mentorship of the student-athletes has left a lasting mark on the program. Norwood's role as athletic Director will allow him to apply his extensive experience and leadership skills to benefit the entire athletic department and build stronger alumni relations.
