Peach County taps Hiller to take over softball

          Joey Hiller is back to being a two-sport coach.

          Peach County announced Monday night that Hiller would take over the Trojansā€™ softball program.

          He replaces Brooke Martin, who was hired in early September as interim head coach. The Trojans finished 10-14 this season, going 2-2 in the Class AAA Super Regional.

          This fall was only Hillerā€™s second without softball to coach in about two dozen years. He handled baseball at Tattnall from 1997-2022, and softball from 2001-2021, except for 2007.

          Tattnall released him in March of 2022 from his baseball and athletics director duties, planning to retain him as head softball coach as well as a director of development. He resigned after the school year and was named head baseball coach and sports information director/athletics webmaster at Peach County in June of 2022.

          He left Tattnall with a record of 625-148 in baseball with 11 state titles, and 474-180 with a state title in softball. The Stratford grad was inducted into the Macon Sports Hall of Fame in 2021.
