We are very pleased to have a baseball coach so connected to our community and confidently expect that Coach Herrguth will instill strong character in his student-athletes, building on the storied athletic tradition at Healdsburg High School. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Herrguth to the HHS community and wishing him and our student-athletes continued success on the diamond.
