The Siloam Springs School District is pleased to announce the hiring of Erica Derryberry as the next head softball coach for Siloam Springs High School, pending board approval.
Derryberry brings extensive coaching and leadership experience to the Panther softball program. She currently serves as director of Vision Fastpitch, an organization she has grown from one team to 11 teams across Arkansas and Oklahoma. She has also coached competitive travel softball for more than a decade and previously served as head varsity softball coach at Bartlesville High School in Oklahoma, where she took the program from a 12-27 record to a 29-2 record within two years, earning four consecutive regional championships and a third-place finish at the Oklahoma state tournament within five years.
An accomplished educator, Derryberry was named Oklahoma Walmart State Teacher of the Year in 2007 and earned National Board Certification in early adolescent science. She is also a member of the Missouri State University Athletic Hall of Fame and the Bartlesville Sports Hall of Fame.
"I am honored and excited to be chosen as the next head coach of the Siloam Springs Softball Program," Derryberry said. "I am excited to build strong relationships with our student-athletes, instill a culture of hard work, accountability and teamwork, and help our athletes grow both on and off the softball field. I'm ready to get to work and continue building a program that competes at the state tournament on a yearly basis."
"We are fired up to bring in a person of Coach Derryberry’s caliber to guide our program," said interim Athletic Director Jared Schoonover. "She is a proven leader and winner and someone we sought out from the beginning. Coach Derryberry will not only grow young ladies on the field, more importantly she will grow them in life. We are very excited about the presence she brings to both our softball and athletic program."
