The former Airline softball head coach Tracey Rambin, who has been out of drilling following 2012, has acknowledged the aide softball guiding position at Benton High School for the coming year.
The Coach of the Year for 2007 will become a part of Michelle Owens’ team in Benton. She is going to join the team that advanced to Sulphur for the state quarterfinals in the LHSAA’s Fastpitch last season.
“I’m very, very excited about getting back into softball coaching. Softball, of course, is my passion. All my activities are connected with softball. That’s the reason why I went to college and it’s something I’ve always loved,” Tracey Rambin said in an interview.
Coach Tracey Rambin played volleyball and softball for one season at Northwestern State, then she moved to Centenary and continued with softball. The first team she coached was the Rusheon Middle School, then Rambin took Mansfield High School before assuming control over the Lady Vikings’ helm in 1991. She left coaching before her son’s last year at Airline, so Rambin could enjoy the most of his baseball games.
Presently, the move to Benton comes from her more youthful child is beginning school at Benton Middle School. Owens is upbeat to get some additional skill for her group, which starts summer workouts on Wednesday morning.
“Tracey Rambin will be a colossal resource for Benton High School since she has an incredible enthusiasm for working with children. I believe it’s enormous for us,” Owens said.
Coach Rambin took her Airline team to the title match in 2007, in which they were defeated to Ruston.
“My dream was to achieve the victory in that match! I had always hoped to win the trophy, but coaching in the state championship final was, for sure, the most important moment in my career,” Rambin told a couple of years ago.
The famous coach also told that leaving the team of Airline had been very difficult for her. Now she might have been ready to take the new challenge, sitting on the bench of Benton High School. “I really cherish Airline – the students, the administration, and the faculty” Rambin said. “But I’m very energized for a change. And we are going to start training as soon as possible.”
It’s always good when you have a person, who has a great understanding of softball on your bench. That’s why Owens should be the happiest at the moment.
