Ben Wells named GHS varsity baseball coach
The Greencastle Community School Corporation Board of Trustees Monday night appointed Ben Wells as varsity baseball coach.
Wells has been selected to lead the GHS Tiger Cubs baseball program as the head coach beginning with the spring 2017 season.
Wells has been a member of the Greencastle Middle School faculty since 2010 as a social studies teacher.
His wife, Kristen, and he have three children, twin daughters Britain and Brooklyn, and a son, Lincoln. You can tell by the names of his children that coach Wells is a social studies teacher and department head at GMS.
Wells was the 2016 North/South Elite All-Star assistant coach and has been an assistant baseball coach for the past seven years at Owen Valley (one year), North Putnam (two years) and the last four years at GHS.
He succeeds Troy Remsburg who retired at the conclusion of the 2016 season. Wells played high school baseball at Owen Valley (two-time all-conference) and was a scholarship athlete in baseball for the University of Indianapolis.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity to be the head coach for Greencastle baseball," Wells said. "I have always dreamed of having an opportunity such as this and I'm excited about the future for these players. I look forward to building on the program's success and developing well-rounded players both on and off the field that the community can be proud to support."
GHS Athletic Director Greg Hill commented, "We could not be more pleased that coach Wells has accepted this new role in our program. Ben is committed to leading our baseball program focused on character and the fundamentals of the game.
"We are in very good hands with coach Wells as our new baseball head coach."
Coach Wells will be reaching out to the players and parents for a meeting in the near future to discuss the direction of the GHS baseball program.
