Former Habersham Central assistant baseball coach calls it a “great opportunity” for him and his family
Rabun County’s baseball program was in need of a guy with a love and passion for baseball, a likeable personality, and a heart to coach kids through more than just the game. It found its match in Wes Satterfield, who takes over as the sixth head coach in the past seven years.
Satterfield, who has been a solid assistant coach under coach Chris Akridge at Habersham Central, accepted the position at Rabun this month. He helped Akridge guide the Raiders to its second-ever playoff run in 2019.
“I’m very excited at the chance to lead this program,” says Satterfield. “I keep reflecting on the incredible coaches that I’ve coached under and with, and the impact they have had not only on myself, but their players, assistant coaches, and their community. I’m honored to now have the chance to do the same.”
The loss of Satterfield is a significant blow to a team already struggling with loss. The Raiders varsity assistant coach Patrick Mayfield passed away unexpectedly in early July.
