Anton Goff announces the hiring of Ashley Cook as the new head
coach of the Lady Bulldogs softball program.
“We’re very excited to have Ashley (Cook) added to our

build upon the tradition that has been established and continue the
program's success. I'm looking forward to getting out on the
diamond and meeting the team to plan for the upcoming
