Baseball in Fort Wayne

Scott Johnson has been 13 of his 14 years at Angola High School as varsity coach and boasts an overall record is 227-146. During the last five seasons, that record is a lopsided 104-46. The Hornets won sectional championships in 1999, 2004 and 2008 and regional champs in 2004 in addition to three Northeast Corner Conference titles and a NECC tournament crown in 1998.

Next season, he takes his show to Hamilton County to take over the Hamilton Southeastern baseball program. He replaces Curry Harden, who resigned after serving six years as the Royals’ varsity coach. Coach Johnson came highly recommended to the Royals by (former long-time DeKalb High School Coach, Bill Jones) who is current president of the Indiana Baseball Coaches Association.

“It was my pleasure to have the chance to coach against Scott in my last few years at DeKalb high school,” said Jones. “He was a young, eager coach that worked very hard to learn the ropes and skills of being a good baseball coach. Since my retirement it has been rewarding to see his program at Angola grow and develop. He has put endless hours into making the new baseball field at Angola into one of the best in northeast Indiana” [source: Noblesville Daily Times].

Scott and his wife Shannon have three daughters. Scott will teach in the Language Arts Department at HSE.
