The softball stadium at Oskaloosa High School will now be known as Jay Harms Field.  The Oskaloosa School Board voted Tuesday (5/11) to name the field after the current Indians softball coach.  Harms says when the idea of naming the field after him came up, it took his breath away.

“I’ve been here a long time.  It’s my 36th year here in Oskaloosa and I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of good kids in the programs, we’ve been pretty successful.  A lot of that goes to the type of players that we’ve had here over the years that have helped our program be very successful.”

Harms led Oskaloosa to a State 4A softball title in 2016, plus three other trips to State in the last decade, as well as nine conference championships.  A ceremony for naming the softball field Jay Harms Field will be held before the Indians’ home opener May 27 against Washington.  You can hear the ceremony live on KBOE-FM.
