Whitehall High School softball coach, Blake Morgan, has resigned his position as head coach last week, Whitehall announced with a press release.

Coach Morgan leaves the Whitehall softball program after serving as head coach for four seasons.

Under the leadership of Coach Morgan, the Zephyr Softball program improved to a level that is competitive with every team in the Lehigh Valley. During his four-year tenure, the 2019 and 2021 teams qualified for two PIAA 6A softball tournaments with two District XI 6A runner-up finishes. His overall record was 47-26 with the Zephs.

“Coach Morgan and his staff worked tirelessly to get our program to a high level,” said Whitehall Athletic Director Bob Hartman. “We will miss the leadership of Coach Morgan. Coach was incredibly passionate about working toward success and put in countless hours to do so. He and his staff were outstanding at what they did and served our girls in the program exceptionally well.

“He improved the quality of our program, had some great wins, coached some outstanding student-athletes, and put our girls in positions to succeed.

“Most impressive about Coach Morgan and his program was the efficiency and work that was done at practice. The practices were detailed and productive and that work carried over to games. I have an unbelievable amount of respect for Coach Morgan and wish him nothing but the best in his life.”

Whitehall has begun the search to replace Coach Morgan immediately. Interested candidates to reach out to Bob Hartman in the Whitehall Athletic Department.
