Mandi Munn can walk away from the softball diamond with a sense of peace.
After leading the Red Bank High School softball program for over 20 seasons, Munn has turned the keys to the program over to former Lady Lion and recent UTC standout Hannah Wood.
“This is really unique because I played for Red Bank and UTC before coming back to coach here,” said Munn, who was hired in 2000 by RBHS. “Hannah is on the same path I was. She has always been a Red Bank kid and I am comfortable leaving the program in her hands. Hannah was always such a patient player and a team player who was willing to help and coach everyone on the field. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect fit.”
Wood, 21, was a star on the Lady Lions’ 2018 softball team that won 33 games as she hit .557 with 16 home runs and had 22 wins with 148 strikeouts.
Over the past two seasons Wood compiled 11 wins and a 3.09 earned run average over 190 2/3 innings in which she only allowed 13 home runs. She had a career-best 2.83 ERA this spring for the Lady Mocs.
