Freed-Hardeman Lady Lion head coach Todd Humphry is entering his 13th season with the program, having rebuilt the program from scratch since his arrival in 2000.
After leading a young squad to a third-place finish in the TranSouth Conference in 2011, the Lady Lions continued their trend of improvement winning 29 games and finishing runner-up in the conference tournament. FHU won 12 of its last 17 games to close the season and set a program record for the most runs scored in a season.
In a three-season stretch from 2007 through 2009, FHU went 96-41 with two appearances in the Region XI Tournament and a runner-up finish in the TranSouth Conference Tournament. Since 2005, the Lady Lions are 258-191 under Humphry's leadership.
In addition to directing the team's successes on the field, Humphry has also overseen several upgrades to the program's facilities including the construction of a press box and in-ground dugouts.
Humphry started coaching softball at Harding Academy in Memphis, Tenn., in 1992, where he helped to build and develop what was then a young program. He is also the head volleyball coach at FHU where his team has won back-to-back-to-back TranSouth Conference regular season titles in addition to conference tournament championships in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
A 1989 graduate of Harding (Ark.) University, Humphry played on the Bison baseball squad for two seasons. He and his wife, Susan, have three children: Emily, 15; Jared, 13; and Allie, 8.
