Meet Coach Sara Webb: Leading PC Softball into a New Era

As the sun sets over Max Mothersbaugh Field tonight and the crack of the bat kicks off our annual Hit-a-Thon, there’s a renewed sense of excitement in the air for Putnam County Softball. At the heart of it is a familiar face—PC Alumna and new Varsity Head Softball Coach, Sara Webb—who’s bringing fresh energy, deep roots, and a clear vision for the future of the program.

Coming Home to Lead

“Returning to Putnam County as the head softball coach was an incredibly meaningful decision for me. The rich tradition and strong sense of community surrounding the softball program were major factors in my decision. This program has a longstanding reputation for excellence, and being given the opportunity to return home and lead it was something I simply could not pass up. It’s not just about coaching, it’s about being part of a legacy, contributing to the continued success of a program that helped shape me both as a player and as a person. Having the chance to give back to the school and community that played such a big role in my own development is something I consider both a privilege and a responsibility.”

Coaching at Her Alma Mater

“Coaching at my alma mater holds a very special place in my heart. It’s more than just a coaching position, it's a full-circle moment in my life. Putting on the same colors I once proudly wore as a student-athlete now carries an even deeper meaning. There’s a unique sense of pride and purpose that comes with leading a program you once played for. I understand the culture, the expectations, and the passion behind Putnam County softball because I lived it. Now, I get to help guide the next generation of athletes through that same journey. It’s incredibly rewarding to invest my time, energy, and experience into a program that means so much to me personally, and to contribute to building a future that honors its past.”

Summer Recap: Building Skills and Chemistry

“One of the major highlights was our participation in team camps, which allowed us to compete against a variety of teams and further develop our skills in a competitive environment. Additionally, we played games throughout the week that provided excellent opportunities for real-time learning and improvement. Beyond competition, we spent a lot of time focusing on practice, honing our individual and team skills to ensure we’re better prepared for the upcoming season. The combination of these activities helped us build both technical ability and team cohesion, setting a strong foundation for the fall season.”
