Huff, who most recently served as head coach at Bosse High School, was a
two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year as well as a two-time

doubles, four triples, four home runs, and 29 RBIs during her senior year.

marks at UE and was a three-time All-MVC and All-Region selection during her
four seasons with the Purple Aces.
She finished her collegiate career as the MVC’s all-time leader in hits (254) and doubles (56). Huff also finished second all-time in the MVC in RBIs (145), third all-time in home runs (23), and fifth all-time in runs scored (134).
Her success on the diamond translated into the coaching ranks where she led
BHS to its best record in 10 years.
“Coach Huff has already demonstrated her ability to succeed in the coaching
world and brings that added experience and knowledge to our staff,” Kunkle
said. “She was a tremendous catcher and an outstanding offensive player during
her college career and that experience has added a lot of improvements
to our offensive game. We are excited to have her on board!”
