Ezell-Harding Hires Former Auburn Softball Player, Rose Roach

Antioch, TN - October 3, 2025 – Ezell-Harding Christian School is excited to welcome Rose Roach as the new Assistant Coach for the Softball program! Coach Roach comes to Ezell-Harding with a softball background that will bring excitement and passion to our softball team.

Coach Roach, who is a native of Chicago, Illinois, has been around the game of softball her entire life, including many years competing with elite travel ball teams that jump started her recruiting at a very young age. Coach had a strong college career playing for Auburn University all 4 years as a second baseman. Being an SEC athlete meant Coach Roach was playing at an elite level.
