Josh Scarbrough comes "home" to Wise to be part of the Highland Cavalier baseball coaching staff starting in the fall of 2006. The new UVA-Wise assistant coach returns to the squad after serving as an assistant coach at NCAA Division II Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO for the past three years (2004-06).
Scarbrough will be the top Cavs baseball recruiter. He will also work with the UVA-Wise hitters and catchers.
While at Southwest Baptist, Scarbrough worked primarily with the Bearcats' hitters and catchers while assisting with the program's rercuiting. Under his direction, the 2005 Southwest Baptist hitters broke the school's home run record by hitting 54 homers. During his time at SBU, Scarbrough coached seven All-Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association including the 2006 MIAA Freshman of the Year.
As a player, Scarbrough was a four-year player (1999-2002) for the Highland Cavaliers. His senior season, he was a team captain and helped lead the Cavs to a second place Appalachian Athletic Conference finish and berth in the NAIA Region XII tournament. In his final season, Coach Scarbrough finished ninth in the nation with 15 home runs and 18th in runs batted in. The 15 home runs is still a UVA-Wise single season record.
Scarbrough earned his B.A. in History from UVA-Wise in 2002 before adding a Master's degree in Education from Southwest Baptist last spring.
