Coaches hired

Timberlake High School has filled its head softball and baseball coaching positions.

Timberlake graduate Casi Reisenauer takes over softball from Mike Menti, who built a highly successful program.

Reisenauer played collegiately at Big Bend and Eastern Oregon.

“Casi is passionate about softball and Timberlake softball in particular,” Timberlake athletic director Tim Cronnelly said. “Casi is going to do great things.”

Matt George, a Lake City graduate, takes over baseball, replacing Bill Rider.

George has been Timberlake’s junior varsity coach the last 10 years.

“Matt has worked closely with Coach Rider the past 10 years,” Cronnelly said. “(He) has a great work ethic and a ton of enthusiasm. He will do a great job moving our program forward.”
