Lisa Rogers is officially the softball head coach at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School, athletic director Todd Windham confirmed Friday. Rogers was a standout player at Ridgeland High and Carson-Newman College and was the first head coach at Covenant College and a Carson-Newman assistant before joining LFO as an assistant to Tony Ellis in 2009. Ellis resigned earlier this month after eight seasons at LFO, where he led the Lady Warriors to six region championships and eight playoff appearances. "Lisa is a good fit for us because she's the total package, having been a great player in the area and someone who has previous coaching experience," Windham said. "We just told the players and they were excited. They were already making plans for next season, which was good to see."
