Oak Glen Softball Coach Sherri Garner was recognized by the Hancock County Board of Education as a Game Changer at Monday night’s meeting. Garner, who was recently named AA Coach of the Year by the WV SSAC. Superintendent Dan Enich said Garner, an Oak Glen graduate who has spent her coaching and counseling career at Oak Glen, is a force that turns negatives into positives.
