Baldwin hires Brainard, McDonald as co-head RHS softball coaches

By Bill Tamburrino

Athletic Director Damon Baldwin has hired two Ramona High School teachers as the new co-head coaches of the Ramona High Softball Team.

Robin Brainard and Cori McDonald both have been varsity coaches the past two years under Coach Antoinette Rodriguez who stepped down after accepting an assistant principal job at Ramona High.

“Both ladies have a strong passion for softball and Ramona High. Coach Brainard has a ton of experience as a varsity coach and Cori McDonald brings enthusiasm and energy to an already successful program,” Baldwin said.

“Our main focus was to keep continuity in the program since we have so many outstanding players returning,” he continued.

“The coaches work well together and they will each handle specific administrative duties while working together as they have been on the field. We will re-evaluate the co-head coach role after a year or two and see where it goes,” said Baldwin.
