Head Coach Meleah Howard

Howard, a former Co-Lin standout player, returns to Wesson to lead the Lady Wolves softball team for her third season. Howard comes to Co-Lin after an extremely successful high school coaching career. Howard was a leader on the Lady Wolves 2008 team that finished runners-up in the NJCAA National Championship.

After Co-Lin, Howard continued her education at Mississippi State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with a minor in mathematics and science. While at Mississippi State, she coached the Southern Ice travel team out of Wesson and served as assistant softball coach at East Webster High School.

After completing her degree in 2010, Howard was promoted to head coach at East Webster of both the fast and slow pitch programs. She also taught middle school science, Algebra, and Algebra II.

In July of 2012, Howard landed the head coaching position at Lawrence County High School in Monticello for both the fast and slow pitch teams.

Howard led the Lady Cougars to a 31-4 overall record and runners-up in the MHSAA 4A State Championship in her final year at the high school level. During her tenure with the Lady Cougars, she earned a district title in either slow or fast pitch each year.

Howard has amassed eight years of coaching experience and slated a 315-99 career coaching record with playoff runs in all eight seasons including 2A state runners-up at East Webster in 2011 and last season’s run with the Lady Cougars.

Howard led the Lady Wolves to a very successful season in 2019 as Co-Lin advanced to the NJCAA Region XXIII tournament after upsetting the No. 2 Jones College Lady Bobcats. Co-Lin’s post-season run came to an end in the Region XXIII Semifinals. In her second year at the helm, she led the Lady Wolves to a 12-1 record and No. 3 national ranking.

She and her husband, Marc, are the parents of two sons, Jack and Hayes.
